Looking at the mo too and you\'re right they really are all over the shop, constantly seeing high spec cars going for silly low money, yet low spec sheds selling for higher amounts... It is definately a bit crazy out there heh

Only ever seen one personally which was on speedhunters a while ago from 7\'s day;
 

 
and how it used to look i think;

Had my old FD at 22 which cost about £1k to insure at the time, although that was limited miles policy and a second car

I used my old one daily and for the odd 110mile journey each week (which I now do 4 days out of 5 )
 
Best i ever saw was around the 19mpg mark trying to stay off boost on a long run (although thats A34 so not really a pick a speed and cruise style drive)
 
Worst was definately single digits I think

Parked up by crofts, looked awesome :Santa

Ahh fair enough Got someone viewing the rex tonight, in a way hope it doesnt sell
 
Thats actually a cool little project in my past projects there\'s been a yellow Cinquecento turbo so dont think i\'m allowed to point and laugh

Any rex\'s coming in that cheap at the importer with how weak the £ is will be a complete dog imo...
 
Am selling mine at the moment but not sure it\'d be what you\'re looking for, just had a Streetport rebuild ~2k ago though

No worries
 
Last bump for anyone who\'s got nothing on this eve

Mk7 8hp

Would bet my rex its vinyl tbh lol

That one?
 
I was thinking when looking at vinyl wraps a while ago that chrome would look awesome on a rex, and it does

I run a bora tdi daily, do 100+ miles a day with work
 
Previously rex was a daily doing around 100 miles a week with work
 
Drive the Bora not even thinking about mpg and it\'ll return mid 40\'s, try drive it nice it\'ll hit into the 50\'s quite easily

Had 4 mk2 MR2\'s and wont be going back
 
n/a was fine, but lacked power (obviously) and while being a good drive nowhere in the league of the FD, and while on the outside they\'re not too dated (rev3+), the insides are very much so imo, turbo\'s big ends are just chocolate, 2 of my 3 ate their big end bearings

If its gone to the trouble of going to Dragon and been diagnosed as a easy fix like that i\'d be asking why it wasnt fixed at the time... then again i could just be cynical

 
Looks very shiney :cool
 
What mirrors did it have before you went back to standards?
