As much as I’d love one, unfortunately not. The prices seem to be on the rise for them. My cars always been the second car in the house, we have a 2016 Fiesta ST that we keep mint. 

 

I just need a car to run around in, throw the dog in, go to the tip with, throw the mountain bike in ect... I’m looking for a EP3 premier. It would kill me to ruin an DC5.

Lots of plans, but how many of them will actually get done with lack of garage or dry working space...

Hopefully get the MR2 sent over to Se7en for a pony or 2 adding.

[G6-20 56]

Like you say is luck of the draw, I’ve got a fair few mates with honda’s I’ve always been working on them, being a tech myself it isn’t a problem really. My biggest problem is finding a standard one haha!

K20 FTW!

[Cleario 375]

I’ve actually got a friends 2002 Ep3 for a week to sort some welding on the floor. Really enjoying it. However I’m not sure if it’s the wheel alignment or the eBay coil overs but the turn in is awful. It turns in and seems to dig in killing all momentum.

I’m planning on another set of wheels with snow tyres and hope we get lots of the white stuff

You're more likely than some of us to get lots of the white stuff!

[Bumblebee 1,129]

quaife sequential gearbox with lsd is on order , delivery hopefully end of January 

Have also had a new exhaust manifold designed specifically for my car by Dave Traviss , should be here in 3 weeks hopefully , 

Gonna be busy in the new year  

 

[paulgtt 610]

Iv got a few plans:

Sunroof delete

Roll cage

Lexan windows

Door panels

carbon mirrors and boot

harnesses

 

Aiming for under 1000kg wet and then maybe try for 300bhp N/A

 

How much will actually happen is another story!

 

 

[slybunda 334]

Managed to tidy up and treat the rear drivers side wheel well. 

Weather is not allowing me sort the passenger side out. Need to remove the arch plastic liner and check on fuel filler condition and treat it if needed.

Also need to get the side skirts off and apply cavity wax.

May just wait till summer to do that.

[Peter_7 84]

So many jobs and plans its hard to know where to start, The celica needs the exhaust manifold sorting out and the constantly growing list of jobs to keep the R/rover running never seems to shorten what ever I do to it . I could dream about making a start on the old supra but that will never happen then there's our lads celica daily / track car which seems to take more of my timee than all of my motors put together. Then at some point we will have his skyline return from the bodyshop so we can start to get through the mountain of parts he's been collecting that are taking up way to much shed space but will take first place on the list of jobs to do so I can get in my bloody shed again and crack on with my own jobs  

[Cal670 546]

And then no doubt he'll find something else he wants to do it, as always.

Now, now  

 

I'm in 2 minds what to do with mine. Go down a trackday route or turn it into a luxury cruiser (basically beige the $hiz out of every interior element with some chrome and walnut, with some lovely blue piping around the seats and insulation. Once it passes the MOT with no horror storiea. Think of it as a Masarati celica
