After selling my 1.9D pickup last year, I still had a niggle that I wanted a another Felica, but a 5dr and although I needed cheap cost/mile, I wanted a petrol (so a 1.3 was on the list).

(my old pickup)

 

So when one of my mates put his recently acquired Feli up for sale, it was too good a deal to turn down. A previous owner has done all the work on it (some not to the best standard), but it makes me smile every time I see it or head out in it.

 

Basic spec, its a V plate 1.3 LXi and the only factory 'luxuries' seem to be PAS, central looking and a drivers airbag (not that that is a bad thing, less to go wrong :P) and it came with FSH too

 

in recent years its had a set of coilovers fitted (not sure on the make or what they were originally intended for), a set of 13x7 Mamba alloys (with some crudely rolled arches) and a strange front exit exhaust (exits through the bumper in front of the passenger wheel). But for something as low as it is, the ride isn't bad and it has a surprising amount of ground clearance.

 

Plans are limited at the mo. I'd like to change the exhaust, it came with a set of jap style arches (which actually work surprisingly well on it and would enable me to get a bit more clearance on the rear and tidy up the arches no end) and possibly change the wheels (but not sure to what). But to start with I shall start chucking the miles on and see what needs doing.

 

 

 

 

 

That is low. I like it

Looks good dude, and were the pics taken over at Keevil by any chance?

They were indeed, only a few miles from my home and I always thought it would be a good spot to take a pic

Its a few miles from me as I'm in Chippenham but always wanted the building make a fab little garage if you lived in the village.

I was amazed it was still there and hadn't been built on. But ity would make a great garage for tinkering in if you could find out who owned it.

Have you got a build thread for yours?

 

1st Q I have, is the green section on the revcounter for the powerband or best MPG (as my 1.9D had a clock instead :P)?

The thought of a powerband from a standard 1.3 is a little amusing, i'm pretty sure it's there to indicate the eco range
