[beau]

hi!

i bought the car from tommyk in 2009, unfortunatly sold it in 2010!

anyway, i spoke to the person i sold it to, and asked to buy it back, so went and had a look at it, and other than having the wheels refurbed it was exactly as id sold it! so- i bought it back!

so glad to get it back

 

[Mike]

i bet you are,looks ace mate

how much did you buy it back for?

 

[beau]

i paid £1300

 

[beau]

and its only 7k miles since i sold it

 

[Karl]

I just gone a sudden shade of green..... what i would do for my own 20vt toy...

 

[ant]

let me know when your thinking of sellin it ill give ya more than 1300 for it lol

 

[Tommy K]

hahaha... that bloody car!!!


Cost me a small fortune.... worst £5000 I've ever spent.


So glad I sold it... all it wanted to do was kill you!



And will you get that rear panel painted... I did spray it but the undercoat didn't dry properly so the ink black didn't take.


If I ever had another, I wouldn't have it as raw as that one... very unforgiving ride!

....

....

 

[beau]

alright mate,

whys it the worst 5k? lol

best value car iv ever owned, 1st time round, then even better the 2nd time!

whats wrong with the paint under it? cos its worn away in sections and the paint under it looks quite good!?

the ride is, as you said very hard, dont know why because it isnt that low really.

 

[Tommy K]

**** springs. Was supposed to have eibachs on, but they got changed b4 I picked it up, only noticed when had lots of work done and they say Gmax on them.


It was just a money pit, you were fine, I'd spent all the money on mechanics, you just tarted it up.


Is the boost gauge still in the air vent?? Thought I'd done well there

 

[Mike]

£1300? i paid more than that for mine 4 years ago lol

eeeeeeeee how the prices are droppin lol
If i see one done up for grabs,i might part ex mine rather than convert it??

 

[Insomnia]

£5000?! Holy moly.

Good buy for £1300 but looks like bodywork needs some attention to get it nice.

I see the exhaust is still looking silly which I always thought detracted from the overall appearance.

Nevertheless, congrats on the 'new' motor

2006 1.6ltr Mazda 3 TS Diesel

 

[Tommy K]

Yeah, £5k in buying and getting it sorted by Rog at power italia!

Let's not mention it again


Was always going to get another one built by Paul at PSR Automotive but he's more vag 1.8 turbos in very very light cars.


Can see why tho, Kate's beetle is 210bhp with just a remap & can go much higher for not much out lay.... It's quick enough tho

....

[Dark Lurker]

yeah thats it,some newer cars with smaller engines are becoming quicker these days and for less than what itd cost to do. The only good thing about a bravo 20vt is having something no one else has (even tho there are a few knockin around)

 

[beau]
