Pikey009 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Driving it today in the sun was cracking I love it, going to miss it loads. The exhaust sounds great and crackles on the over run Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 My favorite sr hope this one stays within the club I'd love it just can't justify having 3 cars 4 inc the other half's ,keep it you will regret selling it☺ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Ah thanks mate that means a lot. I really have looked after it and love it to bits. I'll regret selling it like a lot of the other cars I've owned but it's always been out of my hands :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Well it's not how I imagined his thread to end when I started it but a really decent lad came and looked around her today leaving a deposite so looks like the car will be gone by the end of the week will probably be another car I'll regret selling but there's nothing I can do about it. Have loved every min of owning it though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dale SR Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 ahh that's not good ! but hopefully she has found another good home to go to Did you get what you were asking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Yeh fingers crossed, almost feel guilty letting it go though. Yeh close to it buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Not at all mate I'm the same ha ha. I'll still be wacfhing them even when it's gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dale SR Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ye, well hopefully you will be tempted to purchase another some day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 I think I'd struggle to find one as good but I'm not ruling it out. Going to behave (ish) for a couple of years when I don't have to worry about the miles I have to travel then try to get my old gt4 back. The SR went today and I've got to say I was massively gutted. Had a lovely last drive in it-70 miles over to the new owner though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 The last pic :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The guy just put a wanted post up on Facebook for a glanza front end and boot lid 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevstar Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) You haven't seen the last of this SR, and I will confirm that I will not be fitting glanza bumpers, bonnets, or bootlids, nor will it be turbo'd. Anything else would ruin such a fine example in my opinion, and having the pleasure of meeting Jase over the past weekend, we discussedmy plans for it and it has become apparent we have very very similar ideologies. The same day the keys were handed to me, the seats wereswapped for the optional recaros. I have big plans for this beauty, and will be making sensible improvements, a progress thread will be made at some point but for now I havemore urgent matters to focus on Thanks again Jase, your a top guy, one day when I feel its ready we will both come visit you and the family again!

Pikey009 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Ah Ryan, ever the wind up ;)Cheers buddy was a pleasure meeting you and I was more than happy to see it go to such a good home. If you're ever in the area again then feel free to drop by. On with the task of finding a decent fabia vrs... Proving pretty tough for my budget Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dale SR Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Good to see she has found a good home and not getting turned into a glanza Edited September 28, 2016 by Dale SR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Ok so I picked my old SR up today from Travis. As he is currently taking a break and getting back on his feet I offered to have the car back until he’s better and able to drive. The car has been sitting a little while so will require a few little bits but in general it’s as lovely as I remember. I left at 9 this morning and got back at 6 in the evening so a pretty long day! I have his full blessing to put it back on here while i look after it. It won’t be getting modified just cleaned up, pampered and taken to shows in the summer. She will get a service, ambers are going back on as well as uk plates but that’s it. Oh and the spoiler has lifted on one side but just needs bonding back on and the car will be perfect once again.

BMX-RIG Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Awesome , is it back on silver speedlines then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 It is mate, I just like them looking all original. The finish on the gunmetal wheels was v v nice though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Always was Avery nice example, good to see it making an appearance again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Beautiful car, really makes me want another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Cheers, it’s lovely. I drove it a little round my army camp when I got back and it’s just so cool, the custom exhaust sounds fantastic crackling and popping and just looks spot on like the original- you’d find it hard to notice just by looking at it. I did prefer the 98 spec interior but the Recaro fishnets are pretty cool. hes got another black SR that needs a bit of work that I might be having as my own car once he has this one back. Can’t wait until I can get to a few shows next year either way. It makes my Fabia VRS feel very modern! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 nice one mate! You do love an SR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Some say too much! Will be ordering a full service kit soon along with new plugs. Anyone know what plugs I should get? Just for a stock engine obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
