The new smoker... :-D

Haven't been on in a while, but now my logins sorted, I'll be back on a bit more! :D :D :D

So, some of you know I sold my car a couple of months ago. Got a good price for it,
and just felt it was time for a change. I did love everything about it, especially how
it put a smile on my face when I came on boost! :axe: :twisted: I've been looking
for a motor to replace it ever since I sold it, and nothing really took my fancy, I knew I
wanted something fairly quick and looked good and thought about a cosworth (3 door
and sapp) but the problem I had, was I live a bit too far away for Jano to do anywork
on it, if I needed it! :wink:

So this caught my attention a couple of weeks ago on ebay, advertised for £5995! I thought
I'd chance my luck with a much lower offer, and due to the sellers personal problems let me have
it! I know it's not a Ford and some of you may not like it, but personally I love it just as much
as my RS, so it ticked all the right boxes!

It goes pretty well, have got a few niggly little things that need sorting but nothing major! I've got
to wait till my 25th on 12th April so I can get a lower insurance quote! If I didn't have a mortgage
I'd have done it by now. The difference is £260 and it only being less than a month, I can hold out! :P

Its got a tracker but the insurance quote only lowers it by £30 and it cost £100 to activate it - I thought
it would lower it a bit more than that! :shock:

Oh well, hope you all like, any comments welcome! :D

Cheers fellas, sorry forgot the specs! :x :lol:

Its the evo Sean, 3.2 - 320bhp (although, none of them made that power
from factory)

Its been lowered on adjustables and has a gruppe m induction kit. Other than
that, its standard!

Just needs a new CD player, its got an aftermarket Sony tape deck! :roll: :shock:


It goes pretty well, I think I miss the turbo surge, the power is more linear. You sort
of know what your getting, if that makes sense!

I might do a little project section of the bits I do, if thats ok. Roll on the summer :drinkers: :mrgreen:
