Looking at trading my 2003 Focus for something similar (although slightly newer at 1998ish). Can't afford insurance come September, if I sell the Focus I can buy a Mondeo and insure it and have £300 spare.

Well if your heart is set for an E36 316i or 318i, so be it. In my opinion though, buying a small 8v SOHC petrol is a massive mistake. You'll be left for dead at the lights by much smaller diesels (1.3s, maybe even 1.2s) and use much, much more petrol than they use diesel even though they're much quicker and more fun.

Also not when you're a student who's near the bottom of his overdraft with car insurance in 2 months and next loan instalment is 4 months away.

Can be, but I don't really care about performance I think it looks nice and I have always wanted a bmw. This one is fairly cheap so why not I can afford it (only just)

i see.
New wheels and tyres (Toyo Proxies all round, plus a spare matching alloy with some AVON of sorts on it). All tyres are new as makes no difference brand new too.
Have taken off the front centre caps for now, because I didn't realise I need to modify the rear hub nut cover to put the centre caps on the rear, so no centres until Thursday when I get time to grind down the nut covers.

Newest chav up t'north.
True, I chucked them on so late I've not taken them for a test drive yet. No PAS means 3 point turns will suck.

But lets be honest, it does actually look go, they aren't too flashy that it looks daft, was going to get some RS7s/soft spokes, which might have looked a bit gash.
Set of HIDs and a Cosworth front bumper next on the shopping list??

Your tyres will be a big improvement over your budget jobbies. You'll be beating Aston Martins on your little backroads

Nah, standard Escort w/ fogs bumper and a Laguna splitter. Was thinking about putting on a Mk5 front end, but it is a bigger job than it first looked. Still tempted by TDi setup, but might be cheaper to buy a TDi van. Although I've been told a handy tuning trick to get moar POWA! from the little NA until, so going to try that out.

The only time I've got close to anything remotely fast was because I surprised him in the corners, once the road opened up he took off like a stabbed rat.
Laguna splitters seem very sought after :|

lol put a V6 in the van
Especially the vented type. They look good on almost any car though, so when someone is breaking a Laguna that is always the first thing up for sale.

(dadge) DELETED by dadge : wrong thread my bad
looks like someones gonna fight him for the van bhoy.

and no, dont v6 the van, put in a 1.8 or 2.0 tdci so you can run it on all the bio fuels and have plenty of poke.


Laguna spiltters are tacky as **** btw.
Grandpa gave me this awesome little thing, 1988 Golf 1.6 carb. Was in nearly perfect condition, but clutch went. I replaced, and didn't really try it out, because gearbox fecked up after 200 meters . Stuck in Reverse, so I can drive it only backwards. Now gearbox needs to be removed again, because germans didn't put some kind of lid on it!!!! Japs FTW

FWD = Evil, but I am not complaining, because I got golf as a gift.


Front end was damaged, so I took it off, until I fix it.

Sorry, big scale crappy quality photo. Going to make some better ones some day.

1.8TDi is the plan, although if I'm honest, I'm at the point where it'd be better to buy an already TD van with much less rust and damage, then just bolt on the TDi parts (exhaust manifold/turbo and intercooler). But it'd have to be a front mounted intercooler as the standard on top of the engine dealio is rubbish, it just heats up the IC and the ducting to it is so rubbish it might as well not be there at all.

Personally I prefer the "Cupra" splitter, was tempted at £20 but SEAT have now jacked the price to £40... :/

I've just seen a Cupra R splitter on an Mk6 and it looked fantastic, was thinking I'd much rather have one of them than a Laguna splitter. 40 notes is a bit steep though. :/
it just depends on how much you want it m8. everyone has the Laguna splitter. being different costs money sometimes. that splitter looks much better imo.
True enough, there aren't many vans with the RS2000 wheels on, which is why I had to pay twice for them than it'd cost for these.
