    And open the door into the hedge? :pac:

    Do that in my parents place from time to time. Never so much as a swirl mark from those small hedges...and after a while they actually start to grow around the sweep of the door. Smart feckers:pac:

    where do you propose to get a rear bumper, have you parking sensors? going to cost you a fair whack.

    Ive been searching breakers yards for one. No parking sensors, but would just remove from doner one and smooth over/re-paint the bumper. twin exit exhaust too if they had one

    its going to be hard to get, not many 250s in the uk let alone Ireland. best bet is probably the north or get one from ebay in uk or such

    Partfinder suggests that there are 3 for breaking...one in Tipp, which is where im living. Will ring in the morning, but with my luck it will have been rear ended

    My car here in Thailand.A Honda City 1.5(type Z,Lxi ).Its from year 2002 ,manual ,power steering ,petrol and LPG gas .Second hand cars here more expensive than Ireland ,but parts and labor for servicing and repair much cheaper .Car cost me 2,400 Euro last month .Also compulsory 3 rd party insurance ,and road tax under 100 Euro per year .LPG gas is around 45 cent /B16 a liter.Even though its now 13 years old ,there is hardly any rust underneath,due to them not having to use salt on the road ,due to the climate.
    P.S, I am not sure if its the same shape as the Honda City of the same year in Ireland ? I know that the Honda Civic over here is much different .The equivalent of the NCT over here is a joke .They only test exaust and brakes.I also have a Nissan NV 1600 ,pickup ,18 years old which has never failed the test .lol

    My other half is Thai, bringing a foreign car into that country is a no no, would really love to drive all over s/e asia in my own motor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 883 ✭✭✭anto9


    Hachiko ,Yes ,import duty on private import of car or motorcycle over 100% here .There are plenty of old Mercedes and BMWs about but usually with a transplanted Japanese engine .

    Have to say the 900 looked well in Newbridge yesterday. Must be pretty rare in Ireland now?

    Hachiko, I feel your pain.

    Same in the grounds I park mine, 3 particular drivers have absolute heaps and are terrible drivers. I literally cry when I see that they have parked beside mine as they have no regard for other peoples doors. ****ing bastard *****

    I know I posted a pic of this car already, but just look at it. Savage wheels. (it was on loan, so technically was mine for two days )

    lenzo rs5's are a bit of a max power wheel imo, a bit like katanas or venoms, although the rs5's have probably aged to be much less offensive than the wolfrace. they suit the mini though, i'd say that car would be lovely with a good scrub :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,718 ✭✭✭Hal1


    The wheels do nothing for me. These seem better:

    Gonna need to change those centre caps now!

    Those front tyres look like they're off a track car :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,697 ✭✭✭Hachiko


    the back ones are bigger than the front, thankfully i don't have to buy tyres very often. I never noticed the caps at all.

    All washed and polished ready to head to ford show in Dublin tomorrow. Delighted with the Eibach springs too gives it bit more aggressive look!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,697 ✭✭✭Hachiko


    I am looking at getting springs or coils. Jury is still out however. Dont really trust the roads enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭Gavman84


    I think once you don't go for the slammed look you should be ok. I find the car just as comfy now as it was before to be honest.

    It's only on bad surfaced roads where you will notice the lowering springs/standard shocks combo isn't as comfy
