CH!P's 1990 Eunos Roadster
After you've all finished with your hairdresser/gay jokes (  ) i've sold the 172 and bought this little beauty 
It's slower than the Clio and in comparison the brakes are shocking but i literally don't care. I had more of a smile on my face driving home in this than i have in 18 month's of owning the Clio!! It's awesome 
Anyway, i hadn't owned it an hour and i'd started the modding. New steering wheel already fitted haha. Monday i'm ordering coilovers and wheels too so she'll soon be on the floor!

Cost saving exercise? They look ok, for £500 or whatever but not a patch on the 172 imo.
Im sure you'll make it look better...

Haha, undecided on the exhaust yet. The important bit atm is get it low lol. That and give it a service.
It is tidy though, it's had a full respray. All the wings have been done and new sills etc. No pudding either, all metal

Nope. I bought it purely because i've wanted one for ages. I kept saying no because they're old etc. Then thought "fuck it, i want one, i'm having one".
It isn't a patch on the Clio regards speed, comfort, luxuries etc. But that really doesn't matter to me. And if i want speed i've got the bike. Not many car's will come anywhere near that.

Lol... It makes sense to me. I think.
Actually, tbf when the Saxo was driven away from me i felt like i needed to throw up. The Clio wasn't anywhere near like that. I'll miss it, not like the Saxo though. Saxo had a lot more character. The Mazda seems to have plenty also

No dude. It was an awesome car. As an all round package it's a brilliant car - comfy, quick, better built than the Saxo and Mazda etc. Just didn't give me that 'special' feeling the Saxo did

Lulz, i haven't looked at yours in so long i didn't realise you had Grid V's
Same colour as i'm going for too 
You on 8s? I'm going for 7s... I like stance and that but i want it to be practical and i don't want to be rubbing like mad etc. So the 7s will do me fine
