I agree with Spadge
There are so many people breaking there own cars at the mo , the market is flooded and if you look people are strugling to sell there parts and are left with loads of bits , this is also dropping the price of parts , so if i were you i wouldnt bother if its s tidy car

but if ya do break for profit then use ebay !!!!, as tbh this place unless there decent parts nobody wants em, theres a world bigger than passionford and ebay finds em

but deffo too many being broken and all going for small money, best waiting till they all gone then break it

i was thinking about breaking mine but i noticed lots of stiff going too cheap even though i will get me money back theres the hassle involved with it

I think whole Sapphires have been too cheap for too long. For good examples to go for less than £4K for 4x4 and £3K for 2WD, I think prices will pick up soon when all the Chavs realise that Jap cars are silly, then people will stop breaking them

It's a fucking crime to break a good Cossie anyway

aint that like me saying you and me in the wet lets test top speed ???

you and me on the rollers

you and me in the dry

you and me 30 to 130

you and me who can launch the hardest

or even better who can do the best 180 degree turn in the shortest bit of road



and also its irelevent as all cossie owners own runabouts and so when it rains they leave the cossie in the garage so you and me in the wet i will still beat ya as my cossie is used in anyweather

i drive my car in the rain though

the 4wd bonnet is to allow the air to release and flow over the engine as ya need that cause 2wd cossies are faster and due to the bullet proof transmision allowing for alot more power need more cooling

i never had to replace it, just means i can make my car sound like its better than the rest

i could have fitted a diff from a robnin reliant and it would have been fine with my driving

oh and in saying that my gearbox is actually fooked

Not at all mate, thinking of it as a option in the future yes, have broken a few cars before but not cossies. Looking like they may not be worth it. I am well aware of the rules on here, and have never broken them. If in the future I start breaking cars and advertising on here I will happily be paying the trader fees.
