anyone know anything about this cossie?

may take the plunge, thinkin bout getting it!

never had a cossie before anything i should look out for?

Ginge !

the first thing i would look out for is OTHER members now seeing this and bidding so its gonna cost you more


id also look at a 2wd conversion as 4x4 is ghey

4x4 = traction in the wet more like

Ginge !

oh and that personal plate is erm,,,,,,,,,, well just a normal plate,,,,,,,, j55 is a normal issue plate,,,,,,, not to mention means absolulty fook all

my cabrio has a personal plate then as thats h178amc,,,,,,,,, tis a cool plate

oh and be warned,,,,,,,,, white cossies are a fooker to sell on in the furture unless you sell it as a jigsaw puzzle

Cawood

lol i thought that when posting it

was gonna get a 2wd at first but its gonna be everyday car n the mrs wants insuring on it for winter.

no way im letting her drive a rwd

Ginge !

my cossie has traction in the wet,,,,,,,,, its called driving to the correct conditions


hell my cossie as done 140 constant speed from m6 to m1 and never lost traction,,,,,,,,,,,,, and that rain was sooo bad i could hardly see out the window,,,,,,,,,,,,, good job i wasnt driving

Cawood

he reckons the plate is worth £1300 as well

Ginge !

mate rwd aint that bad a thing mate,,,,,, just unplug the amal valve or fit a switch and she will be fine with it,,,,,,, you only loose the back end when driving like a cunt

i used my cossie all winter and never even kurb the wheel,,,,,,,, i evenslipped on ice one day and never belted the kurb,,,,,,,, 4wd wouldnt of helped then either

Ginge !

i payed 1700 for my plate,,,,,,,,,, but i got royally ripped off as i was young and stupid

Daviet

if your thinking about it whatever you do dont jump in head first.take your time as there is thousands out there some good and most are bad lol.
do a search on here for sapph buying guides as theres loads to look through just took my mate months to find the right one

Ginge !

also notice that daviet has a bmw thats rwd and you see lots of women driving them OK

good advice from him to

gingeRS

go see the car

if you like it

buy it

if you dont, walk away

plenty out there for sale

Daviet

i must be worse than a women then as im fooking terrible in the wet
im on agrement with ball on the rwd side tho that they can be driven safely,as long as you dont think your colin mcrae the first week you buy it

Nice motor IMO

Engine rebuild, gearbox rebuild needs a clutch so what

Ginge !

yeah as smit says,,,,,,,,,,,, it needs a clutch now,,,, thats nothing wait till youve done a few boxes/front diffs and general work for the MOT

then theres the engine failures,,,,,,,,,, hell it will make a clutch feel like a oil change

if its looked after you shouldn't get many problems, i think for an everyday family car a 4x4 is much better than a 2wd.

Tarren

You just made me spit all me tea out lol

actually ginge,

that plate means something to me as the last 3 letters are my initials.

so at you

KSA-Cossie

Get a 4x4 dave.

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

4x4 is a smoother ride .... thats what everyone told me

depends on how far you want to go in the tuning game ..

if you are going to be happy at 350 - 380 ish then 4wd .. if you want more 2wd

Cawood

yeah i'd prob only be going for stage 2 at the mo

also how big a job is the release bearing? i would have to pay a garage to do it as im clueless!

thanx for input lads
