Renault 5 turbo center exit exhaust 14" saxo alloys And stripped back seats out to make way for 2 x 12" subs 2 amps and 4 6x9s lol It literally struggled to move lol Pic for refrence not my actual car
February 21, 20178 yr Mk 1 Astra 1.2 in baby poo beige - resprayed it black, was years ahead of its time as the engine used to cut out when leaving the motor way or approaching lights, never did find out why but did go through x2 starter motors
February 21, 20178 yr Astra mk2 1.4 starmist gte bumpers , gte seats , 12" sub and mini disk head unit
February 21, 20178 yr This thread is making me laugh at all your modern cars as your firsts. My first car was a red 1979 cortina 1.6L. But we all had to start somewhere.
February 21, 20178 yr Vauxhall Corsa B 1.2 vegas. As far as I can tell the vegas meant a rev counter and different cloth trim! Happy days walking in to the local garage and asking what can I do to make it go faster... the mechanics face said it all.
February 21, 20178 yr Technically a 1997 impreza sport 2.0- got it aged 14 for just under £500, mainly to tinker with and learn about cars! Was lucky enough to buy a few days provisional insurance on this (hence L plates) but was too expensive to insure when I passed... The first car I drove on the road on my own answer is very boring: a 1.0 corsa (awful thing) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 21, 20178 yr First car was a 4 door canary yellow ford escort mk11. It started life as a 1100 L but ended up with a 1600 in there very easy conversion in those days ha ha.
February 22, 20178 yr Vauxhall nova 1.2 merit saloon in white and rust two-tone haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 22, 20178 yr H.reg fiat uno 1.0 in a horrible dark green colour, thought i was the mutz nutz driving around with the choons up full blast haha 😂😂😂, it died when the brake pipe burst and i ended up through a wall and parked up against an old pensioners house, ooops
February 22, 20178 yr Mine was a mk1 2 door escort 1300e with 1760cc burtons built x flow engine twin webber and a branch manifold [emoji41] Spun the rear wheels in 3rd in the dry and ate gearboxes like a fat bird at a cake fair [emoji23] Wish I still had it [emoji53]

March 12, 20178 yr First car was a B reg ford Fiesta. It was a 0.9 litre engine and had done 100k. This was when I passed my test at 17. It was all I could afford and was more rust than car. It fell to pieces about 6 months after I bought it and was replaced with an Austin Metro 1.3. I crashed this about 3 times much to the annoyance of my Dad. I saw one on eBay the other day and someone wanted 6k for it ! Had loads of cars since, even had an Evo at one point :0) ....
March 12, 20178 yr first car was a t reg mk1 fiesta 950cc pop dirty gold colour.remember when i got it in owners manual it said top speed was something like 80mph ,fitted a weber carb and a janspeed exhaust and got it to 110 screamin for its life on stocksbridge bypass was a great little car never once broke down on me.
