gostt Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hey guys. At first I wanted to wait 'till I start to mod it before doing a thread, but oh well, it will be great to share my love for this car, even if it's stock! Soooo for the story, I used to run a Pug 206 as a daily and I sold it to my gf. I was searching for a nice and comfy daily drive, not too old, but enough to be able to work on it. I was rolling and saw this car on a side way, under a huge amount of dust. No inssurance or technical certificate (equivalent for you NCT). I leaved a message on the windshield saying I would buy the car. The owner called me back and we took a rendez vous to see the car. It was in a pretty decent shape, some scratch on the bumpers, but nothing major. Just a bump on the rear quarter panel. The interior is in a mint condition. 275 000kms on clock when I bought it, (now it's 288 000kms).The best thing was I bought it for only 500€ which is approx £390. It only needs 2 new axles and some minor things. Here's the pictures ! So at first, it was supposed to stay as a daily use as I had a Subaru as a weekend drive. Unfortunatly I blew up the engine, and I can't afford a second car now, so I decided to mod the MB. By now, I have a complete VTIS kit (spoiler, lips and sideskirts), 16" wheels, 2 Falken tires and D2 coilovers for EG. The lip kit need a little paint and I need to buy 2 new tires and I'll be able to install everything !Hope I will share many things with you guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gostt Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Haha yeah true. I don't even know why Honda made these. Since I bought some 14" wheels of a friend, nothing special, but for £30, he sold me 4 wheels with 4 tires and 2 were brand new.Here's a picture of the next wheels : Don't mind the Abarth logo on the center caps, I bought them off a guy who was supposed to put them on a Fiat. And yup, for the price I bought it, it's in a pretty decent condition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gostt Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Glad you like them sir!I don't know how they will fit. I tested one on the car without tires and it's hard to get a real idea. And, the seller told be they where 7.5 wide but in real, they're only 6.5. I hope they won't be too much under the fenders. In all case, I will fit 5mm spacers.

gostt Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 That's what she said lol yeah I know, cars are a real trap, I'm worried my MB will finish like yours! I like it so it's not a big deal if it stays! I have a lot of things to do before thinking about changing that.Oh, need to ask if someone know. I would like to change my steering wheel. I have an old TenzoR somewhere. It's not the most beautiful thing we see but it will do the trick. I also have a EG/DC steering boss. Will it fit ? Or do I need an EK steering boss?
