Hey!

[Mike]

Hi all! Im mike, 20 yrs old, live in the north west, close to southport if anyones heard of it (:
Own a N reg 1.4 xn 306 in bianca white.
little bit about myself... well im a fully qualified sprayer, and enjoy the car world very much! i love my little pug, shame its a 1.4 but insurance is still steap for anything with abit more grunt
Mods... it is lowered on coilovers, with torsion bar to match, sits on cyclones, and has a big sound system in the back not a chavvy one (as i cant get power i throught id go with sound system for now (: ) it hits 146.4 on a term lab and have won 2 competitions with it in my class. Im big into modding cars and espacially love the Dturbos!! any questions, feel free to ask me and ill try my best to help.

Few pics of the car (taken just before)

Jeez, I didn't even know the Phase 1 cars came with a 1.4! That must be, er, a bit sluggish?

You're gonna get slated for the ride height dude, it's not 40mm lower than standard so get the lube ready.

Paint looks good, especially on the wheels.

Oh and it has the wrong amount of doors :p

Welcome along mate. Car looks sweet for an xn. Its a litte low for my liking. (bit irish spec) and i like lows so thats saying somthing lol

but yeah welcome

[Mike]

Yea very sluggish. If it was any slower it would be stopped and about the ride height, i do like my lowered cars, an seeing as mine couldnt pull skin of a rice puddin, thats why its low, it isnt quick, cant afford to insurance a dturbo or 1.6 or anything really, so ive made it silly low rather then silly quick as i cant do the quick yet, if you understand my point (:
Thanks about the paintwork though! Try to keep her as clean as possible at all times! Shes my pride an joy!

[declantg]

Mate a dturbo will be cheaper to insure surely? mines pennies and I'm 19

[Mike]

Had 2 claims against me an zero no claims so thats why its steap lol

[c.gerrard]

Welcome along,

Car looks F*UCKING sweeeet!!! Are you sure its low enough

[Mike]

Haha thanks! An yea just about mate lol

[WiNgNuTz]

Welcome along to the forum mate. I agree with it being a little low for my liking, but i can understand where your coming from. I also agree with Dec, i was very surprised to see how much cheaper my DT is than my old 1.4 was insurance-wise, so might be worth looking at!

And ignore what c.a.r says about your doors, he's just jealous that youve got the right number. 5drs FTW!

[Mike]

Well my insurance renewel is coming up in the next few months so ive already planned to look into insurance for a dturbo. An yea i agree 5dr = win. Whats the sayin?.. More doors more wh..people (:

Welcome bud car looks good, love the lows, and FYI if your going to have a 1.4 ph1 would be the best as its lighter than the rest lol

[Mike]

Cheers mate! Yea phase 1 is my favourite anyhow, the front just looks awesome with the square fogs (:

[Jonny b]

Yep ph1 ftmfw

[4WayDiablo]

Jeez, I didn't even know the Phase 1 cars came with a 1.4! That must be, er, a bit sluggish?

Really lol? My first car was a bianca white ph1 5dr lol. They're SPI as opposed to the slightly later MPI

Either way the car looks damn fine
And welcome along :-)

[Mike]

Thanks mate!

[lolsteve]

Like the lows not something I'd have as a daily, but something to turn up to shows in
Also phase 1 = winning

[Mike]

Thanks man an yep ph1 is win!
