Honestly how much of a bitch are they,,, I find impreza are easy but awkward due to weight

Clio I heard you drop subframe down but never done that before and will be on driveway

What about steering rack ect,,, will that need dropping or not ?

Sorry to ask but my runabout is now stuck in 3rd after having no 5th for around a year,,, think its time to change it lol

 

Only to do a clutch and I never actually removed it, I just split it from the engine and wedged it, fuck all access though but do able

 

Once subframe is down mate there pretty easy tbh, don't need to move rack etc, me and my old man done my old one in my back yard in a day.

 

I'm thinking of buying a new car now lol

 

There actually easy just a lot off stuff to remove!

 

Just make sure you lube the sub frame bolts a few days before as the captive nuts have a habit of spinning, after the subframe is down its pretty strait forward

 

yea few times now.. steering rack is attached to the sub frame so that also needs attention lol

 

un bolt rack from subframe

remove subframe from car (not forgetting that you will have an axle stand and rubber chock from floor to sump)

remove gearbox

its a couple of hours work on a ramp, id say 3 on the floor
with a few swear words

 

Well I decided to instead buy a new focus diesel,,,not worth spending on it when it just getting too old now

 

A brand new focus????

 

How much you selling the fucked 172 for?

 

Lol! I thought the same, if I hadn't bought the Puma I would have been after it.

 

Lol! Ive only got 2 cars now the van has gone so i need something else in my life to drive.

 

Yeah, never had a new car before,, always bought cheep performance cars,,, ran them till they break and buy another,,,, with the cist of cars these days it makes no sence fir using it daily,,,, also no running costs, makes my garage rent half price which is 600 quid saving and res permit is 15 quid a year compared to 300 a year or what I do at the min is drive 5 miles from my home and get bus back

I hate finance but the price I'm paying its worth it tbh to have a presentable motor for funerals weddings ect as currently I borrow friends and family cars for that type of thing

I still got the impreza though

As for price,,, its worth 300 quid with the exhaust, chipped ecu and mintex pads,,, 150 for a gearbox and 250 for belts and dephaser and you got a cheep track car

I can run it in for 200 quid or even sell engine, wings, trim, wheels ect and get 700 quid for it

I just can't be bothered with it when I can smoke about in a new car for about the same and I need to focus on getting my impreza running

So first 300 quid wins it lol

 

Where are you chap? Im very keep for it, money aint a problem, and if your close i'l just get it aa'd back

 

It's at work it alperton,,, its currently stuck in 3rd plus I'd need to remove plate but I'm not far

Id stick so gearbox oil in for you as that's why it's died I recon the d/shaft seal is leaking

 

Thats close enough, got any t&t on it? I presume it does if your getting the number plate off it?

 

Mot till October but tax I've just done so be sending that back

 

Prob buy the tax off you tbh?

 

Well be what I'd get back

Think about it and get back to
Me

 

Yeah i'l have it. Sort you out a deposit to hold it until you get the number plate off? I guess that will take you a couple of weeks?

 

Ill get my impreza taxed this week and transfer plate onto that

 

So is the focus any good then.

 

Well as I work for ford andjust spent 13k on one I can exactly slag it off,,,,it serves a purpose for me, Elise is almost 10 and climbing in the back of a clio is not ideal tbh
