My cars

Well I joined a while ago and have stuck a few posts up, but not really said hello at all! So I thought I would do so and put up a couple photos while I'm at it!


My old ibiza gti which I had at a couple of track nights last year at knockhill which was great fun, though I probably was the slowest thing on track!

My civic which I've now had for a few months and is fantastic fun.

A photo of it with my friends 182. I really need a better camera though
So hello everyone, I'm hoping get to knockhill sometime soon with the civic, and now the weather is getting a little better hopefully at least get a proper drive soon!

that ibiza gti's a 2.0 16v right? how long did you have it and how reliable etc was it? they're dirt cheap and i often wonder about them... (other than the fact most seem to be lime green)...

Hello my fellow Aberdonian, I'm from North of Aberdeen myself, Turrif to be exact.

Very tidy motor you have there mate

I'll look and see what's happening with the SIDC track days.
My ibiza was a 2.0 8V. I had it maybe slightly over a year, and things that broke were clutch, a driveshaft joint, it needed new discs and pads for its mot, and I was having some ignition problems latterly, it would occasionally just cut out now and then while driving!
If I didn't have to rely on it I'd have loved to keep it despite all this though. It's just a bit more unusual than a golf really, and wasn't too bad for general running costs. The driveshaft and doing the timing belt(8V) were about £80 each at a garage, all brakes at once was the worst. If you can do a bit of DIY it shouldn't be too bad at all

The SIDC track sessions look really good actually, being reasonably long as well. I'm just wondering if there is much variety in cars? It wouldn't be a bother me turning up in a civic?
My mate might look into taking his 182 as well.

SIDC days have a lot of nice stuff on track. Scoobys, Evos, Lotus, Ferrari, Lambo, a fair selection of Porsche and lots of other assorted fast stuff. The spaces go quick tho.
