HLX Value

[Jordon]

just thought i would make general conversation and ask what you fellas reckon my cars worth....

S (99) Reg Bravo 1.8 HLX
Grey/Sassi Grey
51k genuine miles
as soon as a dent is tapped out of the passenger door the car will be almost spotless bar for a small scuff over the front fog light.
Really good condition interior.

Also will soon have drilled/grooved dics and green stuff pads.

Full service history and extremely well looked after.

Also dvd/satnav/tv system (most probably irrelivent).

Almost completely standard.

i'll swap u for mine if i take everything off it and put it on urs lol

 

[Jordon]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! lol. whats yours on the clock Si?

Also have been meaning to ask you. how musch you pay for the viper? also I can't find a direct fitment to the HLX, only the HGT. What did you do when you got it?

£1250 ?

Now thats over, and since its a general conversation can i just nip in and tell you that the EBC greenstuff pads are pretty crap? Also, drilled and grooved disks are really only suitable for track cars/toys. If its looks your going for, then by all means get grooved disks, but i really dont think drilled uns are a good idea for your road car. If you want performance, than pretty much any disk (grooved is fine imo) and some tar.ox red dot or ferrodo DS2500 pads will improve your braking. The greenstuff pads wont.

cheers buzz, input extremely appreciated.

I dont think i will go for the EBC brakes then. Where would you recommend to buy from?

I had new discs/pads fitted about three month ago, and they are terrible, so have decided its definately time for an upgrade because there doesnt seem to be enough stopping power there.

it wasnt made for my car i got it off furry old hgt thats why i had that induction pipe made to fit it properly.

and i got it at a very cut price lol
