I actually prefer the sportcross but this was local, cheap ans in the best colour in my opinion, so it was a must buy! Lol Yeah there's a good few bits for these, what's the fog light mod?? You can run all 4 rear lights as brake lights like a skyline. Does look really nice. The kits are dirt cheap as well. If you just straight cut the back box off as well they make a great noise. Oh cool! Yeah I had a straight piped one before, sounded cool Haha |

The Is200 doesn't have enough power to warrant a rowdy exhaust. I had manual for a few years, 170 ish bhp I think. Nice gear change though.

The noise may or may not annoy you, but not using it for fear of curse word your neighbours off will. I have it with my Astra, it has a curfew before I get my door knocked.

I've only one neighbour thankfully! Also, in the current circumstances, I'm leaving my house at 7.30am and home at 16.30 pm, so curse word em lol. In all seriousness, I can coast down my road to my house, so no biggie when things return to normal. |

These are a car which most people appear to have forgotten about! It's questionable as to whether they are retro, but I've certainly not seen one on the road for quite some time; You forget how modern and ahead of the time they looked! The instrument cluster is what I remember from these! It's funny as the Capri when it was 20 years old was definitely considered a classic, as a friend reminded me. He had a 1981 Capri 3.0 S in 2000, and back then, they were in the usual magazines . They've followed the same path however as its Japanese Brethren before it including the : -S12/13/14 and dare I say S15 (they have not suffered quite the same fate) That is: -They were deemed a little expensive to run for what they were ; I know my mate loved his but he could not get over the fuel bill -They gave the German cars a good run for their money when new -Like all Japanese cars, they loved to rot, despite good mechanical parts -Due the above, they became cheap and unknown -As a result, Drifters started buying them up, and one-by-one, they slowly started drying up. Some no doubt were boughts as parts cars to keep others going; after all, why spend a fortune when you are on a budget? It's interesting to see what direction this takes. |
