View Full Version : My New 1.8 SRI
Well picked her up yesterday after waiting for the longest morning to pass ever!!! I have driven a few 1.8 SRI's before (51 plate on's) and I gotta say my one, as its newer feels really good. The power is there, which makes driving about my relaxed compared too my old 1.0L 12v.
Here is some pics

As I got it back late afternoon yesterday I did get a chance to do much apart from putting my new eibach's one and my wheels.
Still got my irmy front splitter, irmy sideskirts, irmy exhaust, irmy grill, pioneer dvd HU and to debadge it (so I can scare all the wee boy racers ;)) And of course my leather TT seats.
Here is my old car:

I love driving mine on the motorway, its a right little beast!

They are brilliant!!!! Love it to bits!!! What other car can you get with similar performance with an 1800 engine that is only group 9 insurance!!!!
So you happy with it then
Looks good

Love it mate. Really huge step up from a 1.0L 12V!!! Just want all my irmy gear on it now and get it to how I want it. I love the red calipers peeking through my wheels. Took my rents and girlfriend out in it and they were all shocked at the power.
Got it booked in for a remap next week for a lil bit of extra power then I am looking into some fast road cams for it also. I will probably get the power hungry bug now and sell it in a few years and get something faster, seems to be the way it goes on here anyway!!!
is a really good little engine, was happy with mine all the time I had it
was just time for a change, don't like cars over 3yrs old :lol:
smart car man, wouldn't mind the engine

I know what you mean. I love the engine, its very rev happy when warmed up. The mid range is brilliant. Cant wait to get it remapped next week!!!
Who knows how long I will have it and what my next car will be. All I know is I have the power bug and want to do a few bits and bobs to this one ;)

AMEN to that mr diddon :thumbs:
1.8 would be mad, I'd love to try the cruise control!
How you finding the 1.8 compared to the 1.2 - other than speed is it really just the same car?
AMEN to that mr diddon :thumbs:

Ive neva used the cruise control (lol dnt kno how)
.............help:)

Looks like a hell of alot of fun :thumbs:

Petrol is only about £35 and lasts me about a week and i put my foot down all the time and have cat back zaust and remap, its just crap on motorway if u put ur foot down
Ive neva used the cruise control (lol dnt kno how)
.............help:)
:lol: get on motorway and on the left indicator stalk there should be a little button which is the furthest away from you press that and take ur foot away from the pedals, then i turn mine of by braking or you can do it by pressing the other little button closest to you on the same stalk
Get some more pics up or ur sri when you have fitted ur stuff m8
Well played mate, can't wait til that day comes for me!
Sure did mate. Got a good deal on it too!!!
