MartinT 514 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 Hello and welcome. I came from BMWs and I too found them dull to drive except on straight-line speed. A boosted 86/BRZ is a different prospect. Future congrats on being a dad! 1 MLC22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLC22 4 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks appreciate the welcome guys. I came from 3 civic ep3s before I had my 1 series, still got my recent civic though, and still enjoy driving that some times. Bmw is boring tbf, IMO anyway! Hopefully I will get a boosted one soon!

BRZ-123 174 Report post Posted August 8, 2020 Welcome.There is Charlie's and Ian,s car for sale at the minute, so you have choice.Fensport have a site called boostmy86. Have a look at it to see what boosted options can be , are and how much the cost approximately. Also there is tuning developments who have their own turbo kit. You might decide to buy a stock one and get it turbo'ed , if you don't find the right one.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 8, 2020 Welcome aboard. As has been said there are a few turbo or supercharged cars for sale. Ian't turbo is a nice one. He never drives it hard either and that car has been very well looked after. You'd have to like ginger though. 1 MLC22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLC22 4 Report post Posted August 8, 2020 Thanks for the welcome guys. Yeah I saw them two orange ones for sale, at the minute if everything goes okay I will be viewing Adams tomorrow some time! Nice to hear that he looks after it which is a winner. I did look at buying a stock one and going down the turbo route myself but I’m a big kid and can’t wait so I want to buy one with it installed already Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any teething issues in babies has long gone and the kid has grown up. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk 1 MLC22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLC22 4 Report post Posted August 14, 2020 Hello again guys. Just to let you know I went and viewed Ian's car last Sunday, ended up buying it and picked it up Wednesday just gone. Hopefully when COVID is over I can attend some meets once I have put my own stamp on the car. thanks for the welcome again. MLC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
