Default New car
So I bought this yesterday.





Very pleased with it, seems a well sorted car with very little to do but maintain and enjoy. Great to be back in one again. Sorry if the pics are a bit big, it doesn't give you a preview on Tapatalk.....

Thank you. Yes, it appears to have been well looked after. Stacks of receipts and is in very good condition.

Thanks mate.

It used to be black but was resprayed in Ford RS frozen white a few years ago. Saw pictures of the job so know it wasn't because of a crash or anything. It's running an enginetuner 2.1 with an s206 turbo managed by syvecs. Two maps, one at 410 one at 462. Pulls very well as you can imagine. No plans to increase power as it's a very comfortable level for the build so should last.

Interestingly it's a wide track but non dccd. After doing some research it turns out that to beat the wait (possibly save money too) some people had them imported from EU countries via companies like carwow for example, so not classed as an import. In some countries dccd was an optional extra but this evidently wasn't taken up when purchased. Not that bothered, would have been nice but it's not something I was desperately seeking.

Always like a white scoob. I agonised for ages when I ordered mine but was eventually talked out of white.

Regretted it ever since.

Very nice Stu and nice power too.

I'm surprised in the colour change though you know what they say about black

Seriously though, it looks great in white, happy days keeping it clean

I'd always wanted one since I saw a lad on here's at a rolling road day 5 years ago. I was initially after a white blob spec c ra or a white hawk spec c from Japan but this came up and with the spec, decided to go for it.

Haha, cheers. I wasn't going to get another but having looked around at pretty much everything within reason, there was nothing else that ticked boxes (for me) like these do.

That's lovely

Found him on Scoobynet and some old pics of the car when it was black! Think he must have bought it from new? I bought it from Cardiff and they were, as far as I can tell, the second and fourth (they bought it back from the person in Nottingham they sold it to) owners.

Yeah he said that, he didn't mention a name though. I'm really pleased with it, can tell it has been well looked after.
