Its a mk3 ibiza one from Sparco iirc. Got it from demon tweeks.

Good to see you're still at it Phil :)

Say hey to Jonzy next time you see him, call him something abusive too ;)

Alright mate! Long time no speak! What you driving now apart from your thumb up your arse? lol.

Will do, he loves the abuse.
 
Indeed, I'm still subscribed to this thread so I stick my head in every now and again.

I've got a bit of a collection at my disposal at the moment, it consists of the following...

MK5 Jetta 1.9 TDI - Quite possibly the slowest company car in the world
T4 2.5 TDI Transporter - Partly converted into a camper
MK3 MR2 Roadster - The other halfs
MK2 Mitsubishi Pajero 3.5 V6 Short wheels base - For dicking around in

I will buy something decent again soon, just spent far too much money on the house and holidays :)

Just had a adaptor plate machined up for my S4 throttle body which im going to fit this weekend weather permitting.


But at the moment im seriously thinking about selling it, ive hardly used it the past year, like 950 miles, its sat out on the road gathering dust and i have no motivation to sort out the things that are wrong with it, like the oil return.

I just cant be arsed to lie on the cold floor on the weekends any more and theres little chance of me being able to garage it either.

Be sad to see it go if you do Phil! I enjoy the track action/banter lol.

If you need anywhere to work on it in the next few weeks let me know, should have my garage painted by next week! Do what you need to do before I get my Ibiza in there.

Plus I'm going to have a car port sorted soon over the double driveway so you are more than welcome to park your car on there if you need to work on it in the future. Maybe cold but will be dry lol.

Man up and keep it

Having somewhere to store it would change your attitude Phil -mine's SORN'ed and tucked away until Spring now - you know when it gets dry and warm again you'll miss it.

I wouldn't ever modify a car again to the extent that I have but don't regret doing it - you've invested a lot into it now so why not get some enjoyment out of her.

With Rob on this one - I couldn't justify ever modifying a car to these lengths and losing this amount of money again. Think of the good times though - you will miss it and since you have the offer to keep her tucked up I would be biting Dave's arm off :D.

Good luck whatever you choose though :)
