Lol, it would be easier to sell now though

That's your car saying "I tried to pass first time, and I did! Please don't sell me!"
Re: Getting bored after 8 years

I did see that, although I'm not overly keen on that shape of Scoob

who knows you might have fallen back in love with it.
Me and my car is a love/hate relationship
Re: Getting bored after 8 years
Haha I did see an Evo at the garage today, they guy had painted it matt red and it had a big CF splitter on the front, gave me more ideas
Re: Getting bored after 8 years
We have a couple of imprezas both NA, ones a sports special, total chav, tothers bog standard, good to drive in winter, but a bit unexciting when it comes to spirited driving.
Neighbour has the sports wagon, even worse, at least ours look sporty.
Was tempted by a legacy gtb twin turbo, track prepared, but an estate just doesnt cut it for me.

At least the headlights pop up, will have to work on the rest.

I love going to Japfest, purely because there's always a good few of them there!

What about something bargey drifty like a toyota chaser? Pretty much a 4-door supra!
Re: Getting bored after 8 years
I like looking at them, don't think I'd like to own one though.

Re: Getting bored after 8 years
I know where you folks are coning from, I only get to do about 2000 miles a year in my 2 and the more time I work away the less I get to use her.
Spent so much money though and seeing how much they sell for
Reeeeeally upsets me leaving her parked up for months at a time, so i've been toying with the idea of selling up and just having 1 car and my motorbike until I get a bit more settled.
Problem I have is that I know that in all likelyhood it would be bought and stripped for parts as the engine and box are worth more than the rest of the car
If someone came to me with the right offer though.....

I owned a Mk1 MX5 for about 4 months when my old one broke and got bored of that quickly (Missed the power of the turbo).
What about a FIed MX5? Plenty around. Supercharger for no lag, low end power, Turbo for silly numbers . Just make sure it has a LSD.
Totally different experience to the MR2, not as poised but much easier to hold a slide!
Re: Getting bored after 8 years
Have you ever done a track day in a mr2??

Yes mate, done Mallory park. Still tempted to break it, off on tour next year over the summer so it won't get used properly for about 18 months.
Thinking of getting rid, buying something sensible and a chopper type bike
Re: Getting bored after 8 years
Variety is the spice of life. I would either daily drive it and appreciate it for what it is (which is what I do) or get rid and move on.
Re: Getting bored after 8 years
How much do people think my car would be worth as a rolling shell, no turbo fitted, no IC fitted, slightly notchy 2nd & 3rd gear, LSD box, 450lbs Spec2 clutch, stock wheels, stock suspension, no seats, no bonnet, MOT on the car till Aug 13 car could do with a re-spray or a re-wrap, t-bar leak during really heavy rain, I'll do a compression test on engine before I strip the turbo etc off it, collected from Merthyr Tydfil area, oh and its a spoilerless TRD kitted Rev1 t-bar.
