car you miss/wish you had another crack at
Turbo Mini Forums

thought itd be interesting to see what car in particular youve got rid of you wish you had back...and what car you just wish you had another chance to own to sort it out.
my car i miss is a 1996 honda civic SIR i owned beggining of last year...so well modded, tasteful and only car ive owned that somehow managed to cover performance, relative comfort, relaiblity and economy
cusco coilovers
5 braces in all
uprated ARB
magnesuim rims (3.8kg each) best handling car ive had to date
sweet as a nut B16 engine pushing a healthy 186bhp
dc2 recliners and trimmed to match interior..list of mods ws endless

car id love another crack at is down to 2..a cinq turbo i had before i really knew much about cars , had alot more potential than i realsied at the time, and some questionable mods... id love to have got it back made it look and go ALOT better, and the other is a nova Sr i had when i was 19
was running on bike carbs and i just wish i could go back and rip off all the boyracer shit the owner i bought it from put on it (inc 2...yes 2 four inch exhaust, one either side haha) and just got it a proper subtle drivers car, coz was an absolute riot

Used to have an Audi 80 16V in black. It went like stink and was good in the bends, much more drivable than both my A4's.

i should never have sold my red supra, 3L twin turbo manual 6 speed 1.2 barb boost it was everything my dream car was meant to be

unfortunately there's 2 of only a few pictures i have of it, due to a hard drive failure on my gaming rig not long after selling it

arguably should never tryed to replace it with the silver convertible supra i had either

My 405 Mi16 4x4. Back then I thought it was rubbish as although it had loads of grip my 2wd version of the same car was a lot faster. Knowing what I now know, I'd turbocharge it and make it a real weapon.

My R5 gt turbo without a doubt. I will own another one, one day!

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

i still miss my 2008 focus ST that some fucker nicked - best hot hatch i have had bar far! and i have had my fair share.

those 4wd mi16's must be pretty damn rare these days ? and i can understand the R5 aswell, i really want one of those at some point.
haha GaryOS how many cars do you own ???

I still miss my Metty Turbo.

My Mk2 Cavalier SRi Saloon. It just seemed to tick all the boxes. I still keep an eye on ebay for a good one. Maybe one day

I am the same as Wil (supprise, supprise) I would have all the cars I have owned apart from MkII Fiesta.

If pushed though I would like either my 2CV or my X/19.... hang on include my Elise, oh and my 200sx.... oh bollocks I am going to list them all if I carry on.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

i miss my discovery td5 i sold the other week

half leather, air con, 18 ich alloys ahhhhh the feeling of being above everybody else.

but on the other hand the expense of diesel was killing me

My Dads old Vauxhaull Cavalier GSI 4x4 saloon, not the 4x4, or the hatch, but the GSI 4x4 saloon in metalic Maroon. I had the pleasure of driving it often, only days after I had passed my test

none, only cars iv owned that i enjoyed were the mini and the jag (3.6 manual xjs) still making the mini all the car i want it to be lol every other car i have owned has only been to allow me to have the mini off the road.

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Denis O'Brien.

My Audi 80 2.8 quattro. Really reliable, praticle and effortless acceleration, it was a perfect motorway cruiser. I spent £4000 on it in 2 years including replacing every suspension bush and I took the whole interior out to fit every optional extra I could find. I sold it to buy a TVR Cerbera 4.5 which is fantastic at going fast when it's working but that isn't very often.

i miss my first mini, tax exempt....should have been a turbo but head was n/a so kept blowing head gaskets as comp was to high but knowing what i know now easy fix and would be a demon now and i'd have saved £000's on other minis



and maybe my first rallye...dont ask :/

Id give anything for a splitty!!

Just too expensive!

had every aircooled camper, at the time i hated the steering and brakes so sold it and bought an early bay loved that and kept it for 9 years what i did not do is really appriciate the split i should have overhauled the suspension and steering

Is that the 11 window neil?

yes 11 window canterbery pitt conversion
