Leaving :(

[Ian (Geforce)]

Well, after my short stay here at this Bravo forum with my car, unfortunately it's going in two weeks as I've put a deposit down on another car.

I'll still be around and prolly going to the meets and that if you guys don't mind (and nikki of course )

Anyway I'd just like to thank everyone for the help and stuff I've had with my Bravo, and special thanks to Al for the gorgeous alloys, cheers bud.

Just incase anyone is wondering, my next car is gonna be a Ford Sierra 2.8XRi 4X4 with a Technics Turbo. Yet my insurance is only £91 cheaper for 4 months... figure that one out compared to my 1.4 Bravo. (???)
Anyway I'm not complaining

Plus I'm sure to get ABOVE 18mpg than this retarded fuel-eating bravo I have now.

Cheers for everything mates, see you all around

Re: Re: Leaving

ooooooow.

hate to say it but the mk 2 sierra was an absolute rust bucket and the 2.8 was a terrible engine, you should have gone for the 2.9!!!


You should have kept the fiat! Sufferrrrrrr!!!!

lol. HAVE FUN!!!

Re: Re: Leaving

Hehe, believe it or not, it's been garaged for the good part of 3 years ish.. it's had a full engine rebuild, turbo technics, the lot. 400bhp at the flywheel, returning about 320+ at the wheels. Can't wait until I get this. Gonna be a monster.

Aye will do Ribbzy.. It just looks like a plain Sierra tbh, however the only giveaway is a PSI boost dial in the central dash of the car below the cd-player. Looks pretty sweet really.
Obviously the car's not staying un-modded, well not with a £3000 Turbo fitted anyways!



Cheers Jonathan. Speak to ya all soon hopefully

Re: Re: Ian (Geforce)

Good luck Ian, i reckon the 320+ bhp machine will have a slight better performance than the 1.4 12v monster has got
cheers

 

[JonD]

Good Luck

Hi

Good luck mate you will need it with a ford "Fix Or Repair Daily". Just kidding the sierras are good my uncle had one a while back. Should be fun with a turbo!

(Am I right in thinking ur from Cannock? I live near there in Albrighton I am in cannock from time to time so will look out for a sierra flying past everyone!)

Best of Luck

Re: Good Luck

is the car a 3 door hatch? these were the best ones as they were made in Germany and seldom rusted.
good luck with the new car.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Leaving

JonD - no mate I'm from Widnes which is near South Liverpool, but I'm always down in Cannock with Big Al..
And I've actually sold my Bravo to some guy who lives about 10 miles East from Cannock!

Anon - Nope it's the bog standard 2.8 XR4i 4x4 Sierra 5 door, but had uprated clutch brakes suspension and Turbo added. You can't tell it's a Turbo until you look inside of the car and notice the beautiful PSI Guage.

Mark - Definately! Can't wait Also better mpg than the retarded 1.4 Engines from Fiat :/

Kev - Nice meeting you too mate. Love your debadged lichen green Brava, definately different, rather than a Bravo. very neat.

I wonder if Rob D (With the 1.6 Nos?) would challenge me to a Santapod quatermile run against this monster.. hehe.
Bring it on

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Leaving

that would be a interesting challenge!!hehe

Hey bud no prob mate....it was nice meetin ya and glad u like my old wheels. Hope u got a good price for the Bravo in the end matey and you'll have to bring the Turb down for me to see and drive??? U remember that cossie which my mate took me out in when u came over..hope yours is gonna be faster!!?? hehe

Seya ya soon, Al

 

[Ian (Geforce)]

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Leaving

Yeah Al, that cossie was fast. However it was a 2.0 Turbo.

This Sierra is a 2.8 30psi Turbo. 4x4 so no wheelspinning can gurantee it's much quicker than that cossie. I'll bring it down sometime during probably the end of June when everythings sorted with it. Will give you a ring sometime soon bud.
