Post a picture of your car here Part 4 (quote a picture, get a 24h ban!!)

Even the 6MPS itself could have done with lowering. I put H&R springs into my one but it just scraped all over the place. The Eibach springs are perfect as they don't put it so low that it scrapes!

oh, go on then

I hope one of the other 2 post their 335 since it's that page number!

Here's my Grande Punto. It's the "sport" version, so it's got a few extra features than a regular GP. Engine is a standard 1.3 diesel, 90hp. It'll have 100,000km in a few days. I have it since 2008, not a single issue since then!

(I only got a flat a couple of times)

(... ok maybe a little more than a couple :mad:)

Here it was still in Italy, right after having washed it



And here in Dublin


I got it at 18 years old, with it I drove from central Italy to Berlin, Paris... and now to Dublin. At the end it's nothing special, but to me it is. Lots of memories with this car, I really couldn't leave it behind!

After 7 years, it still looks brand new, especially the inside. I don't have a picture for that, but the seats and the wheel are like these ones: http://www.carenthusiast.com/fiat/fiat_grandepunto2006_015.jpg

Of course, the steering wheel is on the RIGHT side... if you know what I mean not like in that picture

PS: don't worry, I already replaced the headlights, and I'll register it here shortly :-P

If you use google chrome it resizes the pics itself.

Those pictures show up fine for me, but some times some of the ones you guys put up are crazy, like 2500x2500. Try to resize pictures to 800px when possible.

I'm using firefox cause chrome won't stay open for longer than 5 seconds.

I'm sorry to hear that, my condolences are with you during this difficult period. No one should have to be demoted to firefox :pac:

Anyways this is not mine .

The guy who owns this says he finished it, but not sure . I think it's perfect I love it! .

Wow how simple engines were back then, unless he done some engine tucking?

Hal1

I think that's more or less original regarding the space in the engine bay.

Hal1 I think a friend of mine in the north owned that car about 15 years ago. Not sure though.

Going doing the Wacky Rally in July so was on the hunt for some good bangernomics.

Picked up this 2002 Accord for 500e, NCT until March 2016 and running great besides what seems like warped brake discs at the front.

Going to be a shame destroy it!

500e....

Yes. are you saying thats a lot or not a lot?

Duke O Smiley

Thats a ****ing bargain in my books

BillJ

I thought so too. 170k miles on it but running great. Bit of service history too, it's 1.8vtec so not hugely powerful but does the job and is reliable.

Looks like a really new radio in it too, with bluetooth and AUX port, currently doing up a playlist for the roadtrip

Would be willing to swap it for something more unique/powerful that has NCT until July 9th, would be a good swap for someone with a car running out of NCT!

What's the whacky rally?

http://www.wackyrally.co.uk/barmy-barcelona-2015 this is the route we are doing.

Basically you by a cheap car, paint/decorate it to look ridiculous or in a certain theme. Drive from Lille down through the Alps and French Riviera through 7 or 8 countries to Barcelona. Roughly 80 cars doing it, challenges along the way too.

Closest thing i'll get to doing one of those top gear challenges ha

Sweet F all. The mother of all bargains.

When I wrote "500e..." I meant it like "unbelievable"

Was surprised myself, if my bargaining skill were better would have gotten it for 475.
