Buying a secondhand car

[CommanderCian]

An escort is notoriously shit, the only part that was kept on the cossie was the roof, cossie replica are easy to spot, fords suspension back then was very questionable, their entire build quality was questionable, the words ORION, SCORPIO etc spring to mind. TVR's aren't shit even though they only start about half the time

Gotta say I am a fan of the cosworth both escort and serria. Most fords(ther then the old skool ones like the MK1/MK2 escort) I wouldnt be a huge fan of.

As for your ss3 celica Hang, where did you pick it up? Has it any "extras"!?

Nah no extras, its very expensive to get more power from it, your talking big money like,, she has the full ss3 kit aswell so no need to change anything there, the wheels im in too minds about, they are light-weight racing wheels as standard but they are a bit small, also don't want to fuck up the handling by throwing on 18's or something stupid like that as its not the best handling car in the world anyway. Yeah i'd be a big fan of cossies - but standard escorts serrias are terrible and almost every part in the cossie is different to the ones in the standard. mark 1 and 2 escorts are good too, also have a liking for capris even if they are absolutely shite

Altezza RS has a beams engine, dual vvti system, revs to 9k exhaust system is different, you'll also have super strut suspension along with braces, beams exhaust system, and i know that SE is200s don't have a limited slip diff the Altezza RS does, Oh yeah and manual purely from a driving perspective whats the point of having 9k revs and an auto

The one i was telling you i drove there a month ago or so was auto.
Any car like that has a sport button for the auto box.
The Altezza also has a down shift on the wheel. (button on stearing wheel). Auto going up gears but you have the option of down-shifting gears yourself. Pitty it doesn't do both up and down.
Reevs aren't a problem in an auto! Still, wouldn't buy a sporty car in auto.
Could never understand people who buy MR2's, Supras and the likes with the auto box. (unless you'd be dragracing um, even at that, they're heavy).

9k revs, ha. I had a GSX-R 600 that revved out at 14k. Means fuck all biy.
You have to have high revs to keep the thing moving like.

Someone has a honda anyway. Lord God I thought everyone on PROC were a load of boy-racer bashers, ye people actually have good taste in motors. Comendiable.

Honda...stop biy.

I'm driving a toyota supra.
Selling it at the moment though.
Got a phone call today which is looking good.

prob be hard enough to sell that at the moment with petrol prices and that, also the imports seem to be rz's and you know someone that is in the market would go for one of them first, so if your stuck i have fiddy notes here and i'll take it off your hands , but at that price it would want to have a full tank

The fuckin' cheek.

It's gone in'all fella. Fella treaded in a 1997 two door WRX STI type RA for it.
No more supra for me. *sniff*
Took the STI for a spin saturday. Fuck lad she was quick.

I'm half tempted to go for it.
Has a rollcage in it in'all. Sweet.

yeah just think of it, replacing the four tires as frequently as you were the rears on that supra, savage motor allright was going for a normal sti myself at one stage but the running costs seriously put me off, they will eat your wallet sspecially in the first few weeks as you horse the car about the place. not to mention even worse fuel economy than your last car. Still though for those few weeks you could afford to run it it would be class.
