thats a gm derv engine btw, not tunable in the slightest

Yeh i know mate. its got a intercooler and a oil cooler both non attached. So i might get a isuzu lump one day

Gave it another good clean and got the front end back on at long last, just gotta get the screws out from the old plate so i can find my nice new shinny one. Pics tonight

 

[matt_mph]

Thats better

just need to fit that new front plate and my laguna splitter

Looking good mate, get some AA stickers! will look good slammed, liking these wheels to!

 

[big e]

Looking sweet mate good work..

 

[Jaspa]

looks good mate, is ya drivers door a diff colour? needs slamming though glad my old dubs went to a good home

 

[matt_mph]

yeh there is a slight differance but not as bad as the passenger side. I know it needs slamming but needs to be on the road 1st i miss having my own wheels

 

[reno]

what intercooler has it got mate, although its not connected, lol

 

[matt_mph]

Dunno its only a side mount. It may get reconnected one day when its iszuz power, but till then its doing no harm just sitting there doing sod all lol

 

[Mr Skint]

why you selling your van?

 

[matt_mph]

I'm basically unsure what to do, i can insure a 1.6 16v megane coupe for less basically and i'm not sure if to get one or not. If i could get a good quote on the van i'd do it. GRRRRRRRRRR i don't know what to do

 

[astranaut]

Speaking as someone who's owned a couple of Renaults, they don't compare to a Mk3 for reliabilty. I'm not biased or anything, but they were genuinely ****.

My missus has had nothing wrong with her coupe and that is lovley i do enjoy it, even her 1.4 RN is nice, but i don't know. I crave the mk3 bug again

 

[Mr Skint]

yeah mate, stick with the van. a van should be much cheaper to insure

Thats what i owuld have thought but i can insure the coupe for £90 less.

 

[astranaut]

Shop around mate, theres a few insurers on here. Vans are cheaper than cars 99 per cent of the time, my van was a lot less than the car variant.

I rang the insurance companies on here and tbh they were all pants. Adrian Flux wanted £1200. And as for the other companies they wouldn't touch me till i was 21 or 25.

As for the coupe i LOVE this missus one

on these alloys

Looks right smart. But i don't know unsureness sucks

 

[blackjack]

post pics of french again and i can see u getting banned!!!

thats a very very tidy van.,. you would be very daft to sell it!! shop around for insureance,,, there was a 3 rand difference between 2 companies when i shopped around with mods declared!

as for dropping 60mm there is a kit on ebay from germany - shocks and springs are fairly cheap.

ive dropped mine 80 on the front but meant going home made coilovers..... work very well though other than the 1" travel being a bit hard lol..... then 2 tonnes of sound system sat the arse down to match!!

 

[matt_mph]

quick play with photoshop this morning

i'd have the writing on the wheels that says team dynamics in yellow and obiously yellow brake calipers not red. Considering a black vynal roof but not sure it would suit.

 

[astranaut]

You keepin it now then mate? Looks good like that.

 

[matt_mph]

Yeh shes stopping, just want it on the road atm got a few things i want to do:
Respray
estate roof lining
Slammage or liftage after seening the mk2 astra van on hilux chassis
and depending on the above it either be pro dynamics pro 1.2's or some nice 33' tyres
