YAY!!!
Is teh Celica history? Or still with you?

220Turbo · Post by **220Turbo** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 6:21 pm

Thanks Bjorn

I'm glad you and Lisa are happy.

I was gutted when you drove away in it, but glad it's gone to a good home

And being the new owner of the 216 GTi i'm still with Rover

Bjorn · Post by **Bjorn** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 6:33 pm

Thanks guys!

Ian > short term not really mate - its all been done thanks to Miles!

Long term, bigger turbo and fmic I think

Grant, the Celica is still with us mate - getting it into the bodyshop on the 17th and then onto the market.

Miles, the car is a great example, and all credit it to you - be sure to know that it will be very well looked after!!

Blimey Miles didnt know you were selling her??? At least its gone to a good home. I am sure Bjorn and Lisa will look after it well.

At least it's gone to a good home, sure it'll be looked after just as well

I did all the mods actually.

I am glad though that it has gone to a good home and i know it will be cleaned religiously.

Me and miles were planning the same mods as you and infact have got a sunny IC in the garage modded ready to go. Was gonna start looking at getting it fitted, i think it will even with the air con.

So sad he had to get rid though, i tried to find the money but couldnt. :cry:

At least will see it soon at the coombe action day i hope.

Don't worry mate I made sure Bjorn and Lisa knew how much of a big part you had in the cars current spec

Was a hard decision deciding whether to sell or not (Neill - thanks for putting up with my whining of whether to sell or not

). Circumstances meant it wasn't practical (practical......god I must be getting old!!!)

I was really suprised at how well it goes and the induction kit sounds great

Bjorn · Post by **Bjorn** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 12:29 am

gotta love them honda's - to me the 216 is quicker than Lisa's SS2 Celica

btw Miles - its got a cat mate (but its a 1991 - so you can dump it!!

), if you here a vibrating - that will be the cat heat shield!!

Looks mint, heard alot about this car from neill. Take it you PX it

I am sure Lisa loves it

Shame the aircon is going to be ditched for FMIC really....

I think that the Aircon will make it a little more difficult but with the OE intercooler out of the way i think that a FMIC is still possible, I had been thinking about it a fair bit on how to do it. A spare bumper would be handy Bjorn.

Mabz, that may be the case now thinking about it.
