    :/

    I got €1300 on insure.ie

    Thats 22 YO, 2 Year NCD, 3 Years named on policy NCD, 2 Years full license, Alarm+Immob, TPF&T

    €1600 on 123.ie

    What do you have the car down as?

    I stuck in 18 YO, 1 YEAR NCD, 1 Year Full license, Alarm+immob, TPFT, Forrester S/TB Auto
    and got €3.3k. Is that right?

    Insure.ie wouldnt quote me.

    Yep, I meant is it remapped to run on our fuel, a remap on these cars is to safe guard the engine from detonation and to safely run on our lower ron fuel as there engines are designed to run on 102 - 104 ron jap fuel.

    Without a remap you will be experiencing detonation in the engine and it will eventually blow, you wont be seeing any increase in power from a remap, its just so the engine will be running properly.

    The st/b Sti Forester comes with 238bhp (240ps) from Standard, on our fuel that would drop to around 220bhp (222ps) so a claim of 280bhp would mean it would have a nice few modifications done to it and a remap done to suit them mods.

    So has it any modifications done to it?

    Looks nice from the pics, needs bigger alloys with lower profile tires and then will probably need lowering a bit and then I think it will look sweet.

    also wheres the engine shot? :D

    I'm really hoping it's a Vivio engine, just for the crack :P

    How's it going for you? How is she on juice?


  • Registered Users Posts: 310 ✭✭adamshred


    She's going great! Sorry I meant to upload some more pictures but my laptop is being repaired and thats my only means of connection with my camera.

    Haven't had a bother with her yet :cool:

    Petrol is pretty bad to be honest but its worth it!

    I'm doing a full tank run at the moment to see how many miles I'll get to the full tank so I'll post back with the info!

    ah yeah well its a surprisingly small tank for the car thats in it! I think the tank is around 45 litres. I honestly don't know what to expect but all I know is that 50 euro doesnt go very far!

    selling up adam?

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1243077

    costing too much for a first car or whats up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,620 ✭✭✭Graham_B18C


    Or too many points!!! :p

    Only joking, pity you're getting rid so early. Best of luck with the sale!


  • Registered Users Posts: 310 ✭✭adamshred


    Yeah I absolutely love the car but now I want something RWD and manual!

    The running costs are actually quite manageable but I like change!

    I'll miss her but life is too short to wait around!

    Next on the list - an E30 :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,620 ✭✭✭Graham_B18C


    As your second car?! E30 is a bit of a different car for a young fella!
