Had her a few weeks now but havn't got around to getting any of my own pics

Anyway i was going to get a newer model but we move into our new house very soon and couldn't really justify spending 13K on the 05 Blobeye STI with PPP i had my eye on so just bought this until we can afford somthing better.

Cost me 4K and i got £1800 for the VTR i only payed 2K for it!

It's a N reg 1996 with 74K on.It's been in the country since 1998 and has FSH and the biggest load of receipts i think i've ever had for a car..Gearbox rebuild..New MAF..etc etc

It has been fully decatted with a HKS mushroom filter..4 Pot brakes from Roger Clark...Speedlines..Clear indicators..STI6 Spoiler..CD player..Converted to MPH and some other bits It had a daft drifting steering wheel when i got it so i've sourced an origional Nardi wheel which i put on at the weekend.

It had a single pod with a boost gauge in which i've changed for a scoobyworld Twin A pillar pod and added an AFR gauge too.Plans are to get it remapped ASAP so i don't have to run it on booster and to maybe play with the suspension and add some STI lrear lights.

Costs me 1K to insure and i'm 26 with 2 years no claims with Keith Micheals..First scoob cost me £2400 a year...second was £1300 so at least it's going down

Enjoy














I have no clue why somone has panited the Cooler white but it's getting changed for an uprated item anyway..

I know the spoiler might not be to everyones tastes but it looks good so it's staying

Not an STI Brett Did want one but couldn't find a decent one in the end.This is easy the quickest one i've had and is 260ps standard so with the mods i'd say it's 270/280 easy.

They like a drink Baskey and with V power at 105.9 p near me plus a bottle of booster a tank it ain't cheap! Worth it though.

Fair enough. Loved my classic.

Is the AFR gauge worth it? I bet it just flashes around all the time doesnt it?

It seems a bit wierd but it's only meant to work on full throttle which it does any other time the engine is adjusting the ratio so it just flashes up and down

People fit them wrong ie not earthing them properley so they have a bad rep.

Thanks DP How the Clio doing mate?

Clio is good mate- still loving it.

Its not liking these cold mornings much though- likes to be warmed up before its driven or it does a rather convincing impression of a kangoroo off my drive

Funny you should say that! Just been looking at them

I don't like the speedlines though so hopefully i can get some 18" PF7 replicas in gold or gunmetal.
