Damn you Stephen!

[Will]

Cheers loads for the help with the parts but damn you for making me want a marea weekend (nice motor btw, hope you got the clutch sorted too)

 

[stephend]

glad the parts can help you out! yep the weekends are nice, sorry the slave cylinder was playing up and i could not get my foot down

its amazing how quick they wind up to 70!! hgt would prob be quicker as it weighs a little less.. im sure what ever you have you will miss your little 1.4, it looked tidy for a car that is getting on for 14 YEARS OLD!

slave cylinder is all sorted now, only took me about 20 mins to get to it, bleed and then re-fit tray and battery.

get some pics up when you fit them, i cant think of anyone that has had to replace them

Rat is back on the road ... New bits coming soon!

 

[Will]

Its awesome dude, i really appreciate it! i can't believe your marea wasn't even at full tilt! and the noise it made, oh my god, i could listen to that all day long i think! Anyway, if you ever need a hand with anything just gimme a bell, im pretty handy with a hammer and i owe you one!

Another convert to the 5-pot club me thinks, lol

 

[Robin]

Will you liked the rat then!! does it still whistle from the magnex!!! I loved it, awesome car! i am on my second now and using it as a daily driver at the moment and doing surprisingly well on fuel when i aint booting it.

Also did you know that the Rat ran a 17.1 second qtr at Santa Pod in 2007 with a 1.3 second delay in the launch!!! The noise it use to make with the Induction was just crazy!

Come on buy one join the weekender's!

 

[andy]

yep there a great car we need more weekenders in the club and the induction kits make them sound nice to im loving mine

 

[Will]

I am a convert and ye the rat was awesome, it does whistle too, but its the roar! i love it! i am considering a weekend at the mo but there are a lot of cheap saloons out ther so may go for one of them to be different i cant find many parts for the marea's though, where did you guys go?

 

[Will]

Oh and i forgot to ask stephen are you going to the may 2nd meet?

 

[Lee]

Excuse my ignorance,but what is a marea weekend?I saw one today and remembered you lot talking about it.

What's a Marea Weekend??

It's only the classy member of the BOO family, favoured mainly by the older, family gent, featuring all the loveliness of the Bravo/a but with big bootspace and roof rails!

We currently have 4 or 5 members with them and as families grow, I'd imagine a few more too!

Best bit is that they come with all the best engines in the range, making the 20v 5 pot a proper sleeper. Kids pull up at the lights next to one, thinking they're about to tear up Grandpa, only to be given a lesson in 5 cylinder awesomeness LOL

Well, Roberto is nearly right - of course a rather sleeker 20v black saloon is THE classiest of the Brava/o-Marea clan, with other saloons and Weekends, (Who said sheds? lol) being a close second

Hav'nt gone-in for an off-the-line burn-up for a long time now, but remember really humiliating a balding cock-sure get in his then new hairdresser's MX5 2 days after I bought my Marea.

A BM 5 series Touring, Honda 2.4 Accord, F*rd Puma, Saxo VTS and various cock-driven Audis have been other scalps....
