_Matt_ 26 Posted November 23, 2020 Ohh what have you replaced it with? Good you sold it though so you can move on. I feel like consolidating some of my cars next year. Scratch some itches before we're electrified in 2030 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratch some itches before we're electrified in 2030 😄 yeah i will be sad to part with it but then the VR6 is almost done & now has one of the features i loved about the 16v - the Kamei X1 kit 🙂 it has been replaced by a 2004 R53 mini cooper S - which i got a bargain on!! 82K, fully loaded with xenon headlights, heated full leather interior, sat nav, air con etc & factory option chilli kit which is bumpers & skirts. plus it has been breathed on with uprated intercooler, 17% pulley, ram air induction & stage 2 remap - think it has more horses than the VR6 lol i will be changing the 17's on it though for some 15" * 7J Zender Star's which i recently picked up for a very good price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Matt_ 26 Posted November 23, 2020 ooh nice Mini Cooper S. My brother had a R53 and the R56 version, R53 being my fav. Sorry to hear the sale dropped through but hopefully someone else will be back to buy soon. Keyo is right as much as love them all I think I'd like to have a mk5 R32 (manual & 5 door) - something more modern I can use year round but isn't turbo'd or 4 cylinder. I'll shfit on the mk4 golf and a corrado but will keep the mk2 and a corrado. The current fleet require too much of my time to keep sweet - drawning in bodywork and little jobs all the time. I'll probably change my mind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll probably change my mind! thanks - im looking forward to having some fun in the R53 & also a newer motor with all the tricks - the SC with miltek stainless sounds awesome!! yeah shame about the sale but feel sorry for the guy getting laid off a month before christmas i think i will try the 16v one last time on ebay but on auction with a reserve rather than a buy it now with offers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
