The coupe is dead, the new motor

sdbutler10

Well some of you already know, I finished all the body work on the coupe and the next day i got hit pretty much head on.
When it was finished just needed to change bonnet

The body shop quote for mine was £14037
His car

So after a month of arguing with insurance company the value of the car I got the price I wanted so went and brought this

300bhp rwd fun

That's such a shame about the coupe, especially after all the hard work you put into it.

How are you finding the new motor then?

Sjdickso

As Matt said shame about the coupe, at least you are ok. The new motor looks very clean.

MikeS

nice motor

s14a ?

cheap to get decent gains

they are like lampost hunters as the back end always pops out on roundabouts & bends

nearly bought one myself and did loads of research like sound deadening the rear quarters, facelift upgrades

looks like it has already had the HKS treatment

ps if you have any spare parts from your old car give me a shout

Good to see you back on here. How are you now?

I used to work with a chap who had one of those. As Mike said, tail happy as feck! Nice for some future drift action.

😉

Yup the tail is very happy when it's running full boost, just installed blitz boost controler to stop it. So can adjust it to 220 to 300 with a button is amazing lol.
Iv been sound deadening it already lol.
No HKS it's all Apexi on it.
And it's fully set up for drifting just don't have welded diff just LSD.
Totally different compaired to Astra in every way.
And sorry mike iv sold the lot only got engine and gear box left now.

I feel your pain mate. I had mine on the road for 5 months after all the work I had done to it before someone drove into it outside my house and proceeded through my bedroom wall. Im still waiting for the insurance company to sort me out.
