Chappers Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) Ok, i'm beginning to get bored of the whole "driving around in a smokey diesel escort just to go to 3 shows a year and write things on the internet" malarky and i've got two options: Fix my car and continue til uni ends, probably end up losing everything i've spent on it or claw back what i can. IF i can find buyers for everything i want to sell, then i'll do it and get a TDCi mondeo most probably or something of a similar size and niceness. Now, i think these are sensible prices but i'm sure Lee will PM me and point out any mistakes i've made I have: AVO coilovers - refurbed and reoiled by me, still on car but in good condition now £300ono Interior - cobra clubman buckets with escort subframes and 4 retrimmed mk6 doorcards£250ono Boot install - 2 pioneer freeair subwoofers and a BBG by Pheonix Gold amp - 2x 120W RMS powering the subwoofers + all wiringWill fit straight into any other escort - cost me quite a bit to build and buy£250ono JVC CDRW head unit - 4x50RMS and JVC 12 disc CD changer£200 ono ST170 brakes£200 2 RS rear beams - one on the car, one in the garage£100 each RS2000 front bumper, smoothed out strip and RGM splitter (needs repairs - nothing major)£80 Fibreglass Skirts and spats£50 the set Newly refurbed wheels - BSA 239 17" powdercoated gloss black with 2x new Toyo proxes 20540R17 (500 miles) and 2 falken FK512s on the back (21540R17s)£400ono Edited September 27, 2006 by Chappers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thing is, what i really don't want to do is sell a few of the bits then be left with half a car, it's all or nothing tbh. So who's interested in bits? ACTUALLY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee R Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 shame to see such a significant EVO car broken.... but a TDCi Mondy will certainly be 'onwards and upwards' You might want to check out a new Vectra DTi? I drove an 03 2.2 DTi SRi at the weekend and LOVED it, and it beat my old Mondy in most ways, other than probably top end grunt. But thats nothing that cant be sorted with a re-map.I prefered the dash, the seats, it looked lovely with the SRi kit and the 17's......think it's 99% the Focus is gonna make way for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think you're doing the right thing mate However.... are you sure you want to get a diesel mondeo / vectra?? Nice to drive, yeh fine, but surely you want something a little more fun? And petrol FFS!! Or am I going to have to start pumping the fumes into your house?
