Ricey Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Thinking of banging up an asbo....anyone have thoughts/opinion/experience ? Looks like I can pick a 2006 up for 7-7.5k with pretty reasonable miles/spec. Would be better if I could sell mine private but I don't think I can be arsed with the ballache of throwing 60 quid at advertising just for it not to sell. Quote
spursmaddave Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Have a chat with iain10101 he has a lovely asbomobile loads of pics on here Quote
Ricey Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 Thats who it was! I remembered someone had one but couldn't remember who. Think the dawg had one too before the zed. I'll have to give him a bell. 15 cylinders and 7.3 litres in the household if its bagged. Quote
Ricey Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 Come in then iain spill.....what's the low down. Not exactly looking for cheap motoring. it don't want to smash my wallets back doors in either. Quote
Ricey Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 ....also that is EXACTLY how I want it to look like. Quote
benzed350 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 My mates got one. Exhaust, intake, inter cooler, remap, 315 bhp. Mental, if it's raining forget it. No traction. Good fun in the dry. As long as you don't mind spending some on tyres. Quote
Ricey Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 What do you need to know??? Comparatively to the zed is it expensive to run.....I'm kind of banking on the published mpg figs which are 30 on a combined cycle. My research tells me its fairly reliable but are there any zed clicky axle/clunky droplinky type 'every ST will suffer from at some point' jobs. Sat nav/leather worth seeking out or is ST2 good enough. Did it make you do a sex wee when you drove it. Quote
DoogyRev Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 What do you need to know??? Did it make you do a sex wee when you drove it. I think you should just buy my car instead Quote

Comparatively to the zed is it expensive to run.....I'm kind of banking on the published mpg figs which are 30 on a combined cycle. For a pre 07 its i think £200 ish to tax 12 months, fully modded insurance costs me about £700 fully comp protected NCB. And if you drive the car the way it was supposed to be driven you can still get on average 30+mpg and mine is modded over 100BHP from standard! My research tells me its fairly reliable but are there any zed clicky axle/clunky droplinky type 'every ST will suffer from at some point' jobs. To be honest there doesent seem to be many issues with the standard car, I have had none yet apart from a split CV boot last week, not bad in 10 months and modded too. Once modded there is a chance of Liners cracking but there is things you can do to help this not happen. Generally due to bad mapping! Clutch slip in the higher gears is a problem but for £800 notes gets you an RS clutch supplied and fitted.There is a few bits like boost solenoid and maf sensor going faulty etc but are pretty cheap to sort out. Sat nav/leather worth seeking out or is ST2 good enough. Mine is an ST3 full leather, Xenons etc no nav, but i have aftermarket anyway. ST3 = 4 leather seater, ST and ST2 5 cloth seater Did it make you do a sex wee when you drove it. Hell Yeah, you should have seen me after Jamsport remap last weekend. Oh and its sooooooooooooooooooooooo cheap and easy to Mod to good power Quote

Like the Zed, sub 25mpg around town is normal. As is appetite for front tyres if you make use of the power. Quote
Ricey Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 Cheers chaps! I figured the mpg may be a little optimistic. I think I'll give selling the lance a quick crack then if not I'm gonna try a straight swap with a dealer. Quote
