Also have a RG125F 1995 thats being rebuilt from frame up for my son
http://www.stigsdump.co.uk/html/rg125_fu.html

and then theres my
FZR1000R EXUP (1990) thats done 16000 ...I've had that since 1999 am the third owner and its done 16000 in total

 

jago jeep which is based on a mk2 escort 1300 (fitting 1600gt soon)

 

andy why waste the escort ??

 

was built when escorts were plentyfull. surely more fun the a stock escort though tbh but no sideways action due to shorter wheelbase.

 

that ae86 is fucking minty :cheers: how much he pay they are bloody expensive now

steve

 

It was £11,250 new in 1987 but paid cash and they knocked a grand off so actually paid £10,250. In the last 3 years I've seen 2 go for £10K but haven't seen another on the road locally in the last 10 years
This was at a time when the best thing about was the XR3i which sold new for £7500'ish

 

agreed, when the insurance for the hot hatches went mental in 1990 (i'd JUST bought a Renault 5GT Turbo and the insurance trippled over night) you could buy a good second hand cossie for 3500 hock:

 

i got a 07 touran tdi 6 speed face lift

we had 2 cars but was getting pricey, one was a 2000 mk4 golf gt tdi 130 ps 6 spd (one of my favs) and the other was an audi a4 tdi 2003

now we have one nice newish car and my 2006 nrg

 

Mondeo Mk3 TDCI 130.

Have stuck an airtec intercooler on it, decat, forge hoses and tuning box so its around 160-170bhp now with bags of torque.

Should be going in next month to be dropped on 50mm springs/Bilstein shox.

After that a new gearbox lol

 

there good cars mate
i can remember top gear rating them
these new diesels engines are magic, i would never go back to a petrol car

 

Got me a 1994 toyota starlet fully race built by me .Have had her for 8 years now with no intentions to sell

 

looks pimped out mate

very nice

 

Totally agree.

This is actually my 4th one now - had 2 x 1.8 Petrols and 1 x 2.2 TDCI before it.

The 2.2 was an early Titanium X with the ST bodykit and diamondcut wheels...amazing car but had a bad leak into the cabin when it rained...only traded it in as the girlfriend needed something better than her Corsa 1.4.

This 2.0 TDCI Mondeo is as good IMO though - sure its not got the toys but its more understated, cheaper and just as quick...18" wheels really slow the 2.2's down as they're 5kgs more per corner and larger OD.

Its going in tomorrow to be dropped 50mm now.

That'll do me until end of next year at which point i might get something else...don't know what i'd replace it with though as theres nothing that really grabs me.

Hmmm...maybe a Focus ST but i can see myself replacing my damaged gearbox and running this thing until it dies...

 

yer much more torque in a diesel and more reliable if re-mapped

there are some places offering a re-mapp with guaranteed fuel improvement or your money back and a lifetime guarantee with the mapp
