Dilemma

[LORD_ED]

For some unknown reason my mum has said that she will give me £3.5k too buy a car for london so an mr2 turbo is first choice. however she has said i cant modify it . no wheels no zaust not even a BOV so what should i do

ed

[Moffmo]

why cant ya mod it?

[LORD_ED]

condition of her giving me the money but its like buying someone a pint and telling them not to drink it

[Moffmo]

i know but whats your mums reasoning of telling you not to mod it?

[LORD_ED]

i have blown up 4 cars either engines or gearboxes. i even modde dmy first car a 1.9 diesal 309 and blew that up. i have no self control like on my sera (which andrew has now rebuilt) how much nitrous shall i put through 25? 50? no 75bhp thry a 1.5 and guess wot it blew her up twice! Thats one reason i have the supra at the mo the big old 3 litre engine solid lump which u dont have too rev to buggery.

Well, in that case, you can see her point!

Difficult one though, isn't it? I mean, three and a half grand is three and a half grand!

[Moxy]

What you could do is buy all the mods before you get the car and fit them before your Mum sees it. You could just say it came that way! :D

[LORD_ED]

a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasal

[Fizz]

you could get a nice rev 2 for that kinda monies!

[LORD_ED]

Think rash had an already modded turbo a few weeks ago didn't he fizz? black k reg or something? sounds like a good plan though.

buy all the mods before you get the car and fit them before your Mum sees it

Or buy a car pre modded ..

[Moffmo]

just do do any performance mods...you dont need them

Just do styling

like bibbs said buy one premodded. as for wheels etc, u can get away with a nice set of rev4 rims, the chrome look. but either way just tell her the car comes like that stock, lol.

i am now trying to persuade her that am mr2 is a sensible car i managed to presuade her that a mgb was sensible so should be possible
