Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Scoops new car

DEFFo gettin an EG. Plans are tints,shreks seats,shreks stereo,VTEC controller, Spoon induction kit and performance muffler. Eventually a full spoon exhaust and even a spoon intake manifold and throttle body, then comes more and more spoon gear

Exactly my thoughts. At least if you're going to get japanese, get something uncommon.
How about a Capri??!?

Insurance is a big issue cos of my recent claim so it has to be a normal hatchback,the civic 1.5s have an very "unnormal" engine tho and i plan to push it to about 140BHP AT the very least

so you want to have at least 140bhp but insurance is an issue? are you planning on not declairing your mods??

reliant wrx sti uk spec, cheap insurance, its green!! buy buy buy

Im gonna declare my mods and itll be a good 2 years before i reach the dizzy heights of 140BHP so by then it will be cheap insurance. I need the car just to have it standard for a bit til i can afford mods both buying and insuring. The install is gonna be the only thing in the car til xmas possibly. Need the windows tinted tho for summer! then it will be tiny bit by tiny bit.

Mk1 Golf GTI (140bhp)
Mk1/2/3 Escort (Rear wheeldrive)
Capri (maybe 2.8 laser)
Sierra (RWD)

P.S. Am still watching this space

Right im gonna whack it into perspective here peeps

Insurance is impossible on anything but the most mundane of cars,i cant get a performance car

As civics are far too rare and i need a car now,i have to get what i can find.

Been lookin all over auto trader and their are a few intresting cars

Mondeos and vectras 1.8 (nice motorway cruisers with lots of space

Escorts and 306s and rover 214/6 (nice small cars but hard to find a good one)

BMW 316? (insurance may be low ish?)

Get this car for a year then dump it and get a great car that i can fully pimp. I wont be piming a baby engined car again

Anyone got any suggestions for my next car

Lookin at spendin up to 2k but i wont get the money from insurance for a month ish so if i get desperate i may just have to get a {1000 pound car

If you are only going to run it for a year just get somthing cheap that wont breakdown all the time and save like mad to get what you want.
Thats what i did to get and then mod the bm.

Are you kidding scoop! Civics are everywere these days, have to tried the autotrader, ebay, glode, the loot and other local papers?

I dont have LOCAL papers up here mate. Auto trader has shown up 2 civic in a 40 mile radius. An LSi coupe and a 1.3 hatch. I think ill wait n e way so i can get a VTi. Get a run-around for a year to save like a madman then get a beast next year

ax 1.5 d, very economical

Ahhh i thought you were still at home, do a search for your postcode for your home on the Wirral, then maybe have a look at the car when you get home mind you i dont know when you'll be back so that could be a terrible idea!

Got my dad on the case back home.First resort is a maroon escort saloon.Quite tidy.see what its like and i may get it. good,spacious.familiar car.swap some bits over,bish bash bosh.If that fails onto another idea
