Hi there 
after trawling through the forums for a few years now, I thought it was high time I became an active part in them.
Heres my car, its not much compared to most on here, but its reasonably quick, comfortable and economical. Also pretty much the quickest thing I could get sensibly insured on! (Im 19)
It could also do with a clean but with the recent weather il wait till its a bit less wet!

Thanks mate
My first car was a 1994 subaru impreza estate (it was only the 1.8 though!) it had done 140k and had seen better days bodywork wise, but only cost me a couple of hundred quid! I loved it, it was so much fun and drove like it only had 60k on the clock, it really was a hoot. Sadly that got written off in November (not my fault got sideswipped on a dual carridgeway) so did a hell of alot of work, and got the mondeo. Its got 108k on the clock and needed 4 new tyres. Apart from that everything else was fine, hasnt put a foot wrong. And its very nice to drive.

Nice car mate, bloody give her a clean tho, she deserves it.
Are you going to chip her? whats the standard BJP and torque?
Carlos
Yeah will do once it stops raining!Are you going to chip her? whats the standard BJP and torque?
Carlos
Its got 130 bhp, and 330NM of torque, ive been thinking about either chipping it or getting it remapped which would bump it to 155-160bhp and the torque would go to 380NM

Yeah they are! it didnt come with any mats, and I literally only had a couple of pounds left in change after my first fill up! so thought they were better than nothing! will have a look on the bay for some!
And yeah gonna wait until my insurance renewel (march) till I get it remaped.

Welcome welcome welcome - that's a fairly amateurish bit of dirtyness there, I suggest some muddy puddles and non-surfaced car parks
Im trying and failing to keep this one in better condition than the old scoob, which was great fun to blast down at 30/40 mph down a mud/dirt/gravel lane, with loads of dirty puddles etc!
).
thats a nice car for a 19 year old. Get it chipped!!!Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
