New Car Time (Not a ford)
 
Seeing as the clutch release bearing gave up on the celica ive decided to cut my loses and bought a new car.
So went to Bristol Sunday to have a look at this beast, pics really dont do it justice tbh, as soon as we have some decent weather ill get some decent pics of it taken.

Comments welcome as always.

ANDYRACER 03-02-2009 12:36 PM

2.2k insurance compared to £820 on the 200sx soon put a stop to the focus rs idea. :sad:

Alan_D 03-02-2009 01:00 PM

Only ever did the first year on my dads, rest of the years have always been in my name. ;-)

Plans are to get a legal back number plate, swap the rear clusters for standard non smoked units and enjoy it.

Lad i got it off was jap car nut, there was a evo8 with 450bhp on the drive, an evo4 that was a monster and sold the 200 to buy an S15! :shocked:

Cheers for all the positive comments chaps.

Alan_D 04-02-2009 05:16 PM

Forgot I posted here...

Was wondering, since the insurance was so cheap compared to a Focus RS.

So what are the differences between yours and an import...other than the import being called a silvia IIRC? Does the import not have a 2.0 turbo, whereas the UK car is a 1.8 turbo?

I'd love one of these. Would want it mint, but would still take it to drift days etc.

ANDYRACER 04-02-2009 07:13 PM

It was the early s13 (pop-up headlight) model that came with the 1.8 turbo engine, they blow up for fun.

All s14 and s14a come with the fairly bombproof 2.0 turbo engine.

Jap imports are pritty much the same car tbh, sod all differences tbh.

Think the main problem with the RS for me was that it had to be full comp due to its value, where as my 200sx is only tpft, dont see the point in fully comp insurance at my age on a car worth less than 5k.

Alan_D 04-02-2009 09:12 PM

Cheers for info.

Yes, I've just sold my Impreza - was only TPFT on that as the insurance company would value it as being worth peanuts. Bought a Focus ST170 to get about in for now...have that insured fully comp because it was cheaper than the third party on my Impreza.

Matt-Depends if it snows fella, if it snows then itll be staying tucked up at home.
