GMballistic Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Very nice @hoppy504 . 😎 I've driven an Elise some years ago around Silverstone on an "Experience Day". Handling was fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Well, while we're at it and show off toys, here's my old toy. Back when i lived in germany, ran GLP1 on the Nordschleife with it. For funsies, GLP means "Gleichmäßigkeitsprüfung", meaning.. something like "regularity test" - it's not a full on racing series, but about consistent lap times, partially within given parameters/times. Loved it, one of the best sounding 4pots, at least in regards to modern ones (80s/90s not counted).

fnknan Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) My 1.2 Corsa the day I got it about a year and a quarter ago. Its the same age me, the original spare tire dates to mid December 2001. Only done about 40,000 miles and the interior is spotless. Not a bad buy for £600 Edited January 28, 2020 by fnknan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Just make sure you have the appropriate insurance for modifications... I use a company called Greenlight for my car with all mods declared including the remap and an extra 50bbp, the funny thing is it’s cheaper than insuring it as standard lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any non performance mods free of charge. They're that good, even my bog standard work van is insured with them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yep, non performance mods cost nothing for me as well, they just need to know so they can be listed/added to the policy 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollykamakazi Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Greenlight didn’t charge me for my second power up. Stage 1 to stage 2 said they’d already charged me 50 quid so there would be no charge for the increase. Result.

Got a Pipercross panel filter for it though as I can wash and maintain it over the stock paper one, not expecting any gains from it at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ostewart Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Well my little Mazda 2 1.4 had a few issues, the woes of buying used cars and modern diesel systems (Injector issues) so I had it fixed and sold it on before any other problems showed up. To be honest it was great around town, but when going to visit the other half's family in Birmingham the car lacked any guts on the motorway. I sold some audio bits and spent a little more on a 08 plate Ford Focus Style with the 1.8 petrol engine, naturally aspirated 125bhp, not great on fuel but lovely to drive and it's only got 60k miles on it. It has the odd scratch here or there, and a little surface rust underneath but mechanically it seems very solid. Jetex air filter coming, and one day in the future I hope to get some alloys for it and maybe change the exhaust. 2 other focus 1.8's I went to see had oil leaking from the cam-chain cover, one was impeccable outside and had the Zetec S trim but I didn't want a car with an oil leak, even though it was minor.
