haydon_peter Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm still planning on replacing the Cupra with a Cupra R but I'm also having naughty thoughts about Audi S3's. I was thinking about getting a crap car that I don't care about so I will be happier chucking a filthy bike into the boot but I'm not sure I want to 'downgrade' that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I still want one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Possibly a bit more than I was hoping to spend but Rainbird knows what I want! I don't have an account but are the Edition38 classifieds worth signing up for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Purely as another potential source of vehicles, yeah. Otherwise it's largely just slammed dubs on shiny wheels, but for parts/cars for sale it's probably worth the minute or two to sign up In case you can't be dealing with that, however, here's the ad for that one (ignore original pic having private plate on): 2005 LCR in Artic Grey (silver) BAM 225 engine code 96,000 miles 6 months MOT 3 months tax FSH 2 keys Cupra R Interior Climate Control CD player Electric folding mirrors Electric windows all round 6 Speed manual Alarm/immobiliser Brembo brakes Pipercross Viper induction kit All in all a very nice, well maintained LCR in great condition! £4,000 Based in Manchester M30 postcode. I can be contacted via PM or text/call at any time on 07794817575. Followed by the price drop to £3,795. May be worth a cheeky offer, looks tidy and the history is pleasant if the ad is accurate. Worth having a chat about belts etc as usual mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Dammit, I have a dislike of silly slammed dubs with shiny wheels and it appears you actually have to make a post before you are allowed to see the classifieds section.

Luke Rainbird Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's ok, Mr Dan6061 posted up Bessell's Evo a while back so just leave a comment on that or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah, the E38 classifieds are pretty good, although you have to post a few times to be able to see them. Does anyone on here have any experience/knowledge about the 1.8td Peugeot engines? or know what they came in? I'm tempted to buy a Rover 400 estate (R8 shape) with one as a daily driver as I've always kind of liked them (as far as cars that are regularly sub £500 go anyway), but only just realised they did a diesel, and best of all it's an old-school all mechanical XUD, which assuming the 1.8's not drastically worse than the 1.9 are pretty decent lumps in a rugged, reliably kind of way. I need something as a workhorse sometime soon as it'll make working on the Scirocco a lot easier, save me money in fuel and I've got a big road-trip planned for the summer which I don't want to take the Scirocco on. Plus I'm kind of missing the practicality of an estate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Account signed up, compliment of Mr Dan6061's slammed Audi A4 done, these classifieds better be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah, the E38 classifieds are pretty good, although you have to post a few times to be able to see them. There's lots of nice things for sale, but all being sold by dreamers with absolutely mental price tags on everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Haha, that is true, I was mostly thinking of whole cars really, there's the odd good one on there. That said I've not been on there in years though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydon_peter Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 So that guy is now selling 2 nearly identical LCR's and has even got mixed up himself and used the one with the private plate for both adverts on Edition38 They are both listed on Edition38 and ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-SEAT-LEON-CUPRA-R-GREY-/321088496874?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4ac25da4ea http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-Seat-Leon-Cupra-R-225-Silver-/321088467139?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4ac25d30c3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 You know what's cool? Cars that aren't in some way German. CAR CHECK! Just done 1000 miles since it got put back on the road in August, now awaiting a new gearbox and clutch which will hopefully happen this weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I'm kind of missing the practicality of an estate. Yup, my old man had one in a 405 estate and a 205 and his old boss had one in a 405 saloon, as long as you keep the belts in order it should run and run! His boss got rid of the saloon at around 165k still running and he sold his estate after around 145k and that's still knocking about locally. The 205 blew it's head at about 95k as he was getting round to doing the cambelt but he sold that to another local lad who sorted it and is now back in action.

dann2707 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 What engine is that? I thought it was n/a! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Looks like a 200tdi? If it is was there anything in particular about the conversion someone doing it should know about? One of the guys at work's just bought this: And this to go in it: I'm looking forward to seeing it done. I do love a good landy, I wish I had an excuse to own one. I'm feeling the want for something non-german as a daily, I quite like the idea of being completley backwards and having a german car as the fun/weekend car and a british daily driver I'm currently thinking some sort of 60's estate with LPG would be awesome. (Loads of LPG stations around this area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Looks like a 200tdi? If it is was there anything in particular about the conversion someone doing it should know about? One of the guys at work's just bought this: Not really, they're very straightforward. Just put a 2a box behind it 'cos they're the strongest and don't buy a britpart clutch like i did. Mounting the intercooler takes some thought, but to be honest you don't really need to run one. Oh and use a Defender radiator! Series ones are all, without fail, shit. They're rattly as hell but more than powerful enough and mine returns 40-45mpg And yeah Dan, it's a 200tdi. 2.5 litre diesel with a 300tdi turbo, so 15psi over the 11 from the standard turbo. Plans for this year mostly consist of making it "safe" with a cage, buckets and harnesses and disc brakes if i can afford them, followed by engine mods. No-one's every really done anything more than turn up the boost/ fuelling with a 200tdi so i'm keen to look into bolting a bigger turbo on and having a fiddle internally. If i can see 150bhp + from it i'd be pretty happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
