    n16 1.8 to n15 gti

    With gti's being so cheap these days (and surely they're never going to depreciate either, this is the bottom rung!) I'm seriously considering one. I can still get 1800 quid or so for my n16, more with a bit of luck, and I can't imagine a gti's running costs are any more - mpg, tax, service...

    My new motor

    I've always liked the big air-scoop thingy, I think it misses it. Lovely car though.

    Thinking of getting a 1.4

    Those racing pumas look the absolute balls though, why don't other companies have the guts to do that!

    Wraith's N16 Almera Sport

    Looks pretty damn nice, still not sure if I'm a fan of those wheels though. Last pic looks awesome!

    Thinking of getting a 1.4

    I always enjoyed my 1.4 almeras, not quick, but quite usable. If it was a toss up, I'd be realy tempted by the fiesta. I learned to drive in one, the handling was lovely; small steering wheel, felt nimble. On the other hand it had a horrible gearbox. The almera was a bit more refined. Both were...

    Eeermm... hello

    Aeh oop, price seems annoyingly low, meaning I'll probably never sell mine now! Best bit about these cars is you pretty much don't have to maintain them, short of proper servicing and rust. I've noticed a whole lot of n16s around edinburgh (including mine) which have rusting front right...

    I've got some rainbow coax's , the sl165s(?) i think - couldn't be bothered fitting seperate tweeters. I'd say they're pretty ordinary, miles better than the stock speakers, but nothing special. I reckon if I got a sub they'd be freed up a lot; a 6.5¨ speaker struggles to play bass and high...

    Alloy choice

    Grids definately, but keep them small. 16¨ with huge tyres, lowered right down will look great I reckon

    N16 SR20DET conversion

    Gutted for you mate, what a shit. I can't understand what's happened, it just seems crazy. Bunch of fucks... I notice the 'almera with gti-r engine' is listed on their website as one of the conversions they've done, aye right.

    N16 Hatch suspension solutions...

    As are tie-wraps. Half arsed upkeep, the Scottish way!

    My N15 GTi vs Glanza V

    Is this true? I remember all this stuff from when I used to rollerblade(!) back in primary 7! Surely if you get a bigger wheel you fit it with a lower profile tyre to keep the rolling circumference the same no?

    Vtec kicked in y0!

    For some reason I still want one really really badly, even though there are so many faster cars I could get for the money... Fuck it, I've wanted an ek9 since I was 16, I will own one soon! Looks lovely mate, completely jealous.

    Fair Quote on Bodywork Required??

    I once had a bill for £220 for a re-paint of the rear bumper and a dent on the corner below the rear light. Basing it on my price this looks pretty good, but I think I was using an expensive place (someone elses insurance was paying). If you're getting the whole door re-sprayed then i'd say...

    Speaker Replacement

    I think the door panels around the front speakers just 'slide' off. It might be more of a hit it really hard slide, but I think it was fairly simple. I'm trying to remember, but it was all of 9 months ago...!

    Upgrading my door speakers?

    I've got a couple of Rainbows in the front, I'm not crazy about them. I'm not running them off a seperate amp though, which probably isn't helping matters. I found the speakers/headunit combo, whatever was OEM in my 98 si to be the best sounding speakers I've ever heard in a car...
