Got a replacment for the Porker






Just for the winter mind.... [:)]

1996 VTEC-E 1.5 its a minter, £300 including 4 months MOT & TAX. Will run for years. Well chuffed.
 
I tried running a 3rd car for commuting/ winter etc but it didn't save me any money and the overheads (purchase, tax. MOT, insurance) just used up money I could be spending on the 944's. Plus I was always thinking 'I wish I'd brought the 944 today' [&:]
 
Its not just for the winter, I will be commuting 160miles a day next year so i needed something that would handle that with easy, so i bought my wife the honda and i am stealing her Golf TDI [:D]

Well it does get 60mpg.

The porker is going into storage as of today, and might not be out till start of May, just have to see how much time i have in the new year to do the work i want on it. Nearly time to get those ARBs orderd [:D]

That was exactly my Golf GTI experience. I was petrified the Golf would go wrong and wipe out the £70 a month (tops) it was saving me in one go. Not worth the hassle, although I understand Slim's reasoning.

Nah, it goes round corners great. Time for you to get a huuuuuge great Turbo I think [:eek:]

No I really dont need any more power. Handling tweeks from now on. I will leave the turbo upgrade to the guys on rennlist where they clearly have a need to travel at more then 170mph!!!!
 
Wheres your head in relation to the cage and in particular, the lugs for the front section? Id like to see a lot more pictures, please.
 
Congratulations

Some interesting features, wonder is it early enough to have the forged rods, It will be a M44/51 engine, I think it could have 'em.

Is there an AFR gauge to confirm those maps are safe?

Nice stance too.

good luck with it

i will take some photos, if you send me a email to lacedr@talktalk.net i will email you some it sits more over the rear seats.

George, yes there is. the maps have yet to be set up,there is a rolling road near to me, i guess i will be paying them a visit fairly soon.

yes indeed,couldn't help myself. had nice drive back so much so that i missed the m25 and had to contend with lots of traffic and to fight my way back out,doh.
not as clean as my lux by a long way but its got potential.

only thing was as i was sitting in traffic and some more traffic the voltmeter kept going down and down.
i was getting rather concerned and turned all of the electrics off,got home ok,grabbed the voltmeter pulled back the carpet,shock horror the battery was held in place with a load of wadding because the battery is the size of a postage stamp.
probably of a putch maxi lol but it was fully charged.
so i think a new one will be the order of the day.
 
If mine is anything go by, the battery is the cheapest thing to change on a turbo, bar the wiper blades! Enjoy.
 
Looks great mate - even needing a little bit of tidying that was a bit of a bargain. If I was still looking that one would have been a no brainer.

Look forward to seeing some pics once you've tidied her up a little.
 
i shall be doing a few before and after shots,just trying to arrange a rolling road to set the maps up. i do have the software and the laptop but dont really know what i am doing so beast left to the experts!
it looks better in the pictures ! lots to do but lots of fun!
Dave
