Had an amazing weekend so far, got smashed friday night round my brothers, few friends over and cooked a massive paella loads of red wine and bottles of sol. Woke up with a massive hangover to watch the Bournemouth rallly, some imense cars grp 4 escorts, metro 6r4, wrc focus etc. Watched england get beat by Ireland, what a load of tosh. Stayed out all night and got smashed again in town. Just came back from lunch with family and getting smashed again watching the football. Love it
In the past 7 days I've seen Chase & Status... and obviously completely seperately, Sean Lock. Both were awesome
First post!
IM HAVING THE BEST WEEKEND OF MY LIFE. AFTER 2YEARS OF BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS. GOT MY FIVE ON THE ROLLERS AT MONSTER MOTORSPORTS. LOW BOOST OF 14PSI IT PULLED 173.4BHP THEN SET BOOST AT 25PSI HIGH AND PULLED 233.7BHP AT 219LBS TOQUE I AM GOING OUT TONIGHT TO GET HAMMERD. IM IN DREAMLAND.
Changed the fuel filter on the five and managed to get a litre of petrol in my hair in the process. Need a serious good bath before I hit the clubs later tonight. Lol
went to get some more stuff today and tomorrow its my son garrett`s 1st birthday
Sorry Alastair ,only just noticed your question .
5k will get you a very good one ,3k for a reasonable one with MOT . Beware though ,a bargain can soon turn into an extra 2/3k in the blink of an eye .
They suffer from rot in the wrong places and a clutch is £1000 fitted as the subframe needs dropping ...if you go to the usual suspects
Main issue is the lack of parts and prices to suit .Body panels are cheap secondhand but a lot of the wear and tear bits are GTA specific ..£110 for a track rod end ...£100 each for rear suspension bushes and there are 12 needed
They are a bargain though if you get a good one and there is always someone that knows what to look out for
We forgot how close it was to Slough
