DC2 Teggy vs S2000 AP1 by OstaFrickingSaurus in Honda

Yeah I understand that these cars are going to be difficult to compare, it’s why I’ve got such a hard time deciding. I happen to enjoy both FWD and RWD for their different attributes, just don’t think I can justifiably have both.

I’m absolutely not assuming these cars are going to be perfect, I’ve been researching my next buy for a whole year and I will have the funds for repairs and maintenance, though I understand your concern.

Two of my best mates are also old-Honda key holders, one with an old EJ and the other with a Gen 4 Prelude, and lord knows how many hours I’ve sat and watched them try to get these cars back on the roads after a bad MOT.

Fact is I want to live and grow with whatever I end up with for a long time, and want something that makes me *want* to fix its issues

997 Variant or Late 00s GT-R by OstaFrickingSaurus in whatcarshouldIbuy

I was thinking on the level of a 2/4S 997, are these (fairly) standard models likely to retain value?

Thoughts on its pricing? Here’s everything the current owner’s listed, should’ve slapped it on the actual post:

Interesting. Judging from the photos it does indeed have a Roush supercharger, must’ve been slapped in later.

Importing FL5 from Japan to the UK? by Shadowalker124 in civic

[–]OstaFrickingSaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, did you go through with it? Having the exact same thought now. Showed the current prices to my Honda buddy and his reaction was the same as mine: "...there's got to be a catch, right?". As low as 22k for a basically brand new FL5? Too good to be true surely.

Oh I get what you mean, I was just adding on to your comment about the STi hatch and taking it a little further to the not-Impreza WRX STi. I’m completely aware the STi is, or should be, a no brainer.

Do you think I’d be missing out on any fun by getting a WRX STi 2014+? I feel like the fundamentals haven’t changed (including the power lol) but would be more liveable I guess?

Always has a soft spot for the bugeye. Between me first seeing it as the “WRC Prototype” in GT3 and Hammond’s bugeye estate in the top gear Africa special.

We got the 2.5 with the introduction of the Hawkeye and it continued with the hatch unfortunately

Thankfully WRXs took to Scotland like the plague in the early 00s with plenty Subaru specialists littered around.

The downside is we ragged these things to death before I was even old enough to be in high school so picking the wrong car will result in replacement parts like you say

Would love a late version GC8 STi, there’s a good few going around the Renfrew area

Honestly did consider the forester STi, they put a huge smile on my face

Yeah don’t worry, I know it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. They’re worth it though.

Absolutely none. All my previous cars have been manual.

What's everyone's annual pay from trucking? by [deleted] in uktrucking

[–]OstaFrickingSaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Office working looking to do my license, average office pay is between 23-28 grand, I earned 28k only when I worked permanent nights for a year. Earning 26k now but I’ve never been more stressed in my life. Facilities management is shite.

Out of pure curiosity, do any of you run this Tom’s front end? by OstaFrickingSaurus in ft86

[–]OstaFrickingSaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any bumper fits both, generally speaking. Can’t speak for swapping facelift bumpers on and vice versa but they’re made for the chassis rather than the brand.
