jimlols Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 There's some epic cars people have owned in here! started off with a micra, very quickly moved onto this pile of shit, whole thing was made of filler, sat on uber small seat arosa wheels on £100 coilies with a welded diff, proper pikey mobile! Moved onto an e36, another pikey spec one, drifted it for a while...got 3 points...couldn't insure it bought another (much better condition) mx5 Then ran out of talent Got the starlet for £250, bottom end eventually went, a mate is now boosting it with a new engine Then after that got hold of a corolla g6 for a while, had a massive fuck on with the dealership and forced it back onto them... Now in another starlet that I have a few decent plans for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I started off with a K11 Micra at 18 then moved onto an EP82 then came a Rev1 GT Turbo T-Bar MR2, this had a flamethrower for an exhaust The MR2 wasn't the best example ever so moved onto a GT4, this was a virtually standard car when I got it in December 2007 and slowly evolved into a 300+bhp A2 Pro class Toyota Sprint Series car, I also got another ST205 whilst I still had the silver one I broke the track car and sold the green to then buy an Evo 6 GSR I've since sold the Evo and am going to view a new car tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulgtt Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 How comes you sold the Evo already?Wonder what your replacing that withThe Evo was great apart from some kind sole had covered up the rotten back end with underseal! I've just got back from putting a deposit down on an Impreza WRX Type RA STi Version 5 Limited, good job the badge on the back only says Type RA lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just got back from putting a deposit down on an Impreza WRX Type RA STi Version 5 Limited, good job the badge on the back only says Type RA lol!An Evo is more reliable than a Subaru. My mate just bought a 40k mileage version 6 v-reg sti ra and the engine lasted him 2 weeks started knocking. All his Subarus he has had including my mates 400 bhp classic facelift wagon have all had bottom end knocking and head gasket failure. I have had a m20b Subaru tommy kaira but sold it before the oil leak on the cam seals got worse.You will regret selling the Evo but I understand it was rotten!

paulgtt Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The one I've bought has a rebuilt version 8 engine in it so fingers crossed it'll be ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice one bud Edited December 21, 2013 by Ep'd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah I know what you mean mate, thats why I went for this one as its got the later engine in it which has been rebuilt by a scooby specialist. The Scoob actually felt quicker than my Evo did but being an STI RA it should do I suppose! Il be keeping a high level maintenance on the car though, guy who runs the garage down the road rallies them, brother inlaw has had them for a few years and im not far from a few specialists so if anything crops up that I can't do myself then should be in good hands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
