My New Monaro Mk2

[leeds_182]

I mean, I know it looks like all I buy is Volvos and Australian Vauxhalls but I bought another monaro. It’s the big boot version like my old one so no fancy body kit or anything like that.

Ill put up some more details later but here is the obligatory on the way home fill up shot.

Nice purchase!

That pic will look good on the for sale advert too

Its the most fuel it’ll ever have in it that’s for sure.

 

[_Tom]

Looks great on those wheels.

Love a Monaro. Last event I raced the car ahead of me in the running order was a Monaro with a loud exhaust on it, was great fun sitting behind it launching off the line all day.

You've omitted the best bit, you tease

I know! I’ll come clean.

the front bumper and side skirts have got ppf on them.

But it will spend more time there than on your drive!

 

[Stay Puft]

Supercharged 500bhp, decent!

Only 43k miles, nice.

Excellent buy, well done that man!

 

[Cub.]

Looks great and supercharged means even better!

Need noises videos please.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Please don't replace it with another Volvo.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Can confirm it is sweet to drive and makes mad noises. They should have been like this from the factory!

 

[leeds_182]

Please don't replace it with another Volvo.

Certainly not! It will be at least 4 or 5.

 

[leeds_182]

Well, that’s the first tank of fuel gone. Granted, most of it was on the drive back from Scotland.

 

[Darren S]

Yes - excellent purchase!

Reckon this one will see Easter in your ownership??

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Certainly not! It will be at least 4 or 5.

It could be 1,000 and you'd still be mental. This looks like a keeper.

 

[leeds_182]

No, I doubt it but stranger things have happened.

What’s it matter how long he owns it? At least he has owned it it. I’ve never had the balls to buy anything like this.

Just seen the ad for it. Seems an utter bargain for the spec and power! I’m assuming the seller was being a little exaggerative with the MPG they quoted 😆

That's Jim's ad mate

Thanks, it really does upset some people the fact I like to change cars! I just want to try as many as I can before I’m too old and have to start riding a royal Enfield.

Nothing wrong with that, but you just keep trying the same one over and over again

They’re all different in their own unique way.

 

[Cads]

I really hope you don’t care what people think, it doesn’t appear you don’t. F**k em!
You do you.
There’s enough of us who get it and genuinely enjoy your buys.

 

[Stefan.]

It's only light hearted joking around guys....nothing malicious. 🙄

 

[Willo40]

Looks really nice that mate, and i love the try as many cars as i can attitude, i wish i had the balls to do it.

 

[leeds_182]

Had to do a bit of a car swap so the monaro will be chilling in the unit for a couple of days whilst I sort out a couple of mots.

 

[Cookson]

That looks LONG

Stop being a pussy and buy it off him in a few weeks then

I like these more than your endless s**t parade of Volvo's @leeds_182

I get to have something fun again once every bit of cash I have doesn’t have to go towards a wedding. 🙃

Went for some exhaust quotes today.

They are expensive these days.

 

[R3k1355]

How expensive? If you don't mind me asking.

 

[Cads]

How expensive can straight piped side exit 4ins tubes be?? 😉

 

[leeds_182]

Im still in 2004. It’s £600 for a cat back with a single silencer. £700 with a middle silencer.

Can you not just have the centre silencers removed? Or maybe the back boxes removed?

That’s what I went for originally but he just shat on the existing exhaust and said I needed to upgrade the full system. To be fair, it’s looking little crusty but it is complete.

That doesn't seem too bad to me. Last time I was looking at stainless exhausts, a lot of off-the-shelf systems for hot hatches are nearly £1k now. I remember buying a cat-back system for sub-300 back in about 2005

I'm with you on this. My Mx5 2.5" cat-back exhaust was about £300 from a parts shop. I'd imagine the tube diameter is wider, plus there's more of it, plus someone's fabricating it themselves. That's seems very reasonable indeed.

 

[leeds_182]

Needs a clean but I like to keep the thread updated.
