Jurgen- is it a civic type r? Accord type r? To be honest its out of my price range. Jamie- I almost bought a non sti ra last year but I had unbelievable trouble insuring it sensibly. Most wanted over 2k. Think its cos its an impreza. Theres that stigma attached. I'd never considered an octavia. I dont have a problem with them being skodas i have a problem with them being taxi's lol. What engine is in the vrs? Is it a fast diesel like the fabia?

Alright guys, Im considering selling up. What cars would you recommend with more than 200bhp, 4 seats (useable for children, need a bit more room than the Supra) that are fairly recent and available for around £5000 (preferably less). Ive been considering E46 BMW 330s and maybe a mega high mileage S4. Or even the S6 thats been tempting me on Pistonheads.

Took it to the mechanics today, cant find anything wrong with it. Drives like a dream now! Strange.
-
Cheers mate! Think i might look into this a bit more!
-
Obviously your experience of performance cars is different to mine but how do the 540s drive? Do they have a lsd? Any chance of wet roundabout fun? I get about 260 miles to £50 of tesco 99 in the supra, how would a 540 compare?
-
On the brink of falling out with the supra again... Kinda fancy a V8 E39. Anyone have any experience of the E39s? How they drive etc? Obviously I cant afford an M5. Performance etc compared to an N/A?...

I feel guilty if the auto box kicks down into 2nd when Ive got the kids in the back!!!
-
Anyone? Cash waiting and car broken...
-
The linkage seems fine. No play or damage...... New box time?
-
Looks good. Veilside bumpers can only get better. Go for it!
-
Anyone's insurance gone up when changing from auto to manual? Cheers James
-
Someone on here has them and their ones have a grey fade effect on them... Wheelmanias?...
-
Aha cheers mate. Ill try again this weekend.
-
Woo! TRD Bumper!
-
Oh my god its gone mouldy while you replaced the heater matrix!!!! Only jesting, looks good mate. I had a flocked Audi TT dash in my Golf and it was the bollocks. Hope you did the heater matrix while it was out. you could finish it off with a tasty suede-ish steering wheel.
-
Update! Its dying to go forwards in all gears when revved. Including park and neutral. So Im thinking its the linkage. The car was previously Cat D so Im thinking something must have got shunted in the bump thats only just loosened....
-
Dipped the fluid and it was between notches 3 and 4 (4 being highest). Ill try again when its stone cold. Its got all forward gears and drove like a dream all the way home from work tonight (b roads). Including reversing out of a parking space.
-
Any ideas? No symptoms other than no reverse occasional late catching of gears. Is it low transmission fluid or is the torque converter ruined? Its a 93 n/a with no traction control or anything like that. Cheers!
-
Thanks! Im actually with Admiral so thats a good idea ellis

My Dads struggling to get sensible insurance on the MX5 with me on it (mainly cos Im not 25 for another 10months) but Im currently driving a Supra in my name and have 3 years claim free driving... Anyone to recommend? Tried Adrian Flux, Aon, Sky, a few more. The MX5 he's looking at is a UK car. Cheers!
-
Paint it white or bronze to blend with the wheel colour, OR!!! Trim it in blue leather with some padding inside it.
-
Cheers big man!
-
Woo! Its the future. I wouldnt mind the steering wheel being closer to me but on the times Ive got the kids in the back there wouldnt be enough room.
-
One of my previous cars was down as a petrol when it was a diesel. It was changed no problem. It can be done but Im not sure of the ins and outs of it
-
I suppose you'll have the same trouble I did, the wheel will sit too far towards you.
