Thanks and Goodbye

[Nev_LCR]

guys,

well the car was up for sale for about a week, i have a guy (forum member) coming round tommorrow for a look and possable purchase. he also lives round the corner from me.

will pop on the forum now and again, gutted to sell up but got to be done, cheers for all your help an advice, oh and helping me spend money.

cheers

 

[dholdi]

Well somone is going to get themselves a very nice example, its a credit to you.

 

[Shaunyboy]

What you after next Nev?

 

[Nev_LCR]

im doing more miles for work now and its costing to much, its not the type of car i can keep for weekends and get a run around, i went through that with my focus rs, my next car will be kept for 2 years then i will get a company car and something nice for the weekends like an exige.

for now its a fiesta zetec s tdci, 65mpg and £35 tax, and they are holding value, cant go wrong,

 

[Shaunyboy]

The zetec S TDCI's are tidy cars and pack a bit of punch round town, for the fuel consumption and tax, you cant complain, good luck mate!

 

[Stu_pot]

Don't pin your hopes totally on tomorrow Nev, let downs aren't nice.

However, he'd be a fool not to have it, it's been lavished care, attention and most of all money. I know this as we're both of the same mind!

 

[Nev_LCR]

cheers guys, i had a guy let me down and this one tommorrow has been in contact loads and has said if he like what he sees he will have it, fingers crossed,

know what your saying though, its a kick in the teeth,

in a way im looking forward to the fiesta as its fully loaded, with all the toys, and of course the st wheels and side skirts will be orded. with a few bits should be like this

all the best nev

nightmare.. got a lot of ideas from this car.. some one is getting a fine example

 

[warren_cox]

Been in your shoes, sold my LCR, and 5 months later I sold the new TDi we'd just purchased and bought another LCR as it just wasn't for me (albeit a Ibiza TDi FR, not a Festa).

Best of luck with it. I suppose the world was a better place when I did the change (2005), and not SO expensive as it is today fuel / tax wise (Cheers for that Gordon Brown).

Big shame your having to sell it bud but the right move.
For a track car they are good but not the best.
Now an Exige is a proper car.
I'm thinking about one of these next with my LCR engine in it with a BT conversion.

all the best bud

 

[lc_allan]

bye bye

J/K I'm sure you still have plenty of advice left to give on tints and gauge vents

 

[Nev_LCR]

cheers guys yes will still be on now and again as ill still make the vents.

i was thinking of keeping the lcr a couple more years till the company car comes but ill get more money now and that goes toward the exige fund, i know driving the fiesta will be a big change but a fully loaded one will help.

willie.. i still love the old exige more then the new, but couldnt be doing with a rover engine so bring on the supercharged honda engine.

 

[UncleFester]

Supercharged Honda engine ... you blinkin nutter Vtec and supercharged sounds nice but vtec and turbo sounds even nicer

Hope to see a build thread on the new stuff when you get it!

Sounds like a plan.

Give it a few years and perhaps I'll have an Exige with my 1.8T engine and a GT2871R.
Would be good to see this against a supercharged VTEC

 

[Lodgey180]

gt30 .. might aswell do the full stretch..
probs be alot more room in the back of one of them lol

We'll see.
Depends on how much BHP a supercharged VTEC kicks out, don't want to be beaten buy one, lol

 

[Nev_LCR]

Sold, deposit taken, top bloke, it will be looked after so chuffed as i will see it about, he only lives round the corner.

 

[UncleFester]

We'll see.

Anything from 300 + some of the turbo'd ones can see 600+ without breaking a sweat
