ok for the last 2 months ive done fuck all to my car except harnesses/struts/pod for tv, new centrecaps andd wash it
really bored of it now, grown out of the modded car scene to the stage where im not bothered about driving it, its done 0 miles in 3 weeks AND its NOT in bits for once!!
so.........
im at uni in 12 months, so if i sell and buy a new car it will only be with me 12 months as im not taking it 2 uni (garage it or sell it)
but
id like the new car to have money spent on ICE, engine, and performance as aposed to headlight conversions and kits
got a few ideas:
mk4 golf gti
crx del sol
306 cc 2.0
mr2
astra coupe
fiat punto convertable
320 convertable
i know most r poser cars, but fuck it, im a show off  and i do like the attention some times lol. if i get a convertable it will be just after Xmas so i can get it read for spring
or should i hold out, drop the 2.0 in mine, (EVERYTHING is ready bar engine) and give it a new lease of life
was gonna get new kit but i cant b arsed, working 40 hours a week means i got no time for it anymore
i neeeeeed help on this
marv
ps - had it 2.5 years, and i think im ready to sell

oh and then garage it untill you come back from uni (ensuring it gets treated to a good ragging every few weeks!)

Get a clean MR2 Turbo or even N/A if the insurance will be too high...u can pick a clean example for around the 4k mark...T-Bar model a most in my opinion...you get full electrics..leather...RWD...engine rear mounted...all for 4k...a JAP flying machine.
0-62 in around 5.5 secs for turbo model!

mr2 WILLhave to be a T-bar, like the look/sound/feel and everything about them!
one round my way has 17s, slammed, and subtle kit, onlty thing is the sound system possibilities are crap
turbo will be out of the question,
imported, 2.0, turbo, rwd, t-bar are not words insurance compnaies like when ure only 20

Methinks I saw your corsa near asda yesterday about 4ish, so it can't have done 0 miles
btw you won't find leather in a del sol.
