Just sold one of these and now I've picked up another
Nearly went down the turbo route but decided against it in the end, picked up this cracking rev 5 a couple of weeks ago. Very low mileage, fsh, bodywork is perfect and drives great.
No plans for it other than keeping it as close to standard as possible, keeping my eyes out for some 16's but quite like the wheels that are on it, may get them powder coated a different colour but silver probably goes best with blue?

Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
So you sold a Cosmos Blue rev5 N/A T bar and bought a Cosmos Blue rev5 N/A T bar?
Couldn't you have just cut out the middle man, and not sold yours?
Thought the whole reason for selling yours was to buy a turbo?
Looks nice though, much like the one you've just sold

Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
Yea best colour
Same as my old one but it was too clean to turn down, best one I've owned by a long way.
The seats are standard leathers..

Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
The photo makes them look cream coloured on my laptop, weird. Oh well, nice buy, PS I've got a sweet induction kit if you want it
Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
So why'd you turn down a turbo?
Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
The running costs combined with how many times I'd actually use the power on the road, I have a ducati as my main toy and usually take that if I'm going for a blast on the B roads
The n/a is quick enough for what I need and very reliable normally!
What colour wheels do you reckon, gold/dark bronze or would that look tacky?

Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
Have you ever owned a car without smoked indictators?
Got plans to mod again??

Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
I like the mr2 with smoked indicators, personal preference
No plans to modify, will swap the side repeaters over and keep my eyes out for 16's but that will be it, and even then i quite like the wheels that are on it so it will need to be something very good for me to swap..
How is yours going?

Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
Are they rx8 alloys? Hard to see on phone. Yeah mines going well, supra brakes inbound, as well as lots of other wastes of money...
Re: Rev 5 Cosmos Blue
No they are Alessio F1 wheels, similar to the rx8 style though.
Good stuff, they will keep you busy over the winter!
