    I ordered bits for a Turbo Starlet from Southside Motorfactors, I even got dampers from him next day. They're on Kylemore Road in Dublin



    Maybe I'm missing something but I thought that would be common practice for all cars barring the exotic?

    It's only when I start looking on donedeal that there's a very limited amount of nice cars there. I've yet to see anything suitable to make me want to change.

    **** the insurance on that! Although it'll either be something small and very slow or something cheaper and much faster than the Astra. No 1.8/2.0 na unless it's a Honda , which still won't work due to insurance anyway :pac:

    How many years NCB have ya? Must be a good few by now. What about an OPC Corsa or astra?

    SG - Those pretzels aren't new at all. I remember them from years ago.

    2 on my own after this year. 2 named years but liberty don't count that the bastards. I'd love either but they're beyond what I'm willing to spend. I could spend up to 13k with my car but I've saved so hard there's no way I'm gonna throw it all on a car.
    I'd love a cheap car like an e36 convertible that I could improve, if I got one cheap enough I'd almost pay someone to do a 325 conversion on it. I'll only go up past the 6k mark if it's something cheap to run and slow but still nice....like a fiat 500 :pac:

    Did you miss the part about the 325 conversion? As I said before I'd like 323/5 first but because there are such slim pickings, if I could get a nice 318 then I would do a conversion.

    Also, that rolly eyed face should be kicked out the door!

    What do you mean a conversion? Like the way in Knight Rider years ago they gave it a convertible option and 300mph boost!?!

    Thiis is the video description.
    Here you can see how the first time VW tests its vehicles.

    Id say its just people messing about. But they do prove a good point. :D

    EDIT: Or maybe its really is VW doing that, I cant know for sure though.
