Photobucket album

Before the pics... a list of things that have broken / I need to keep an eye on for now though :P lol

- Rear driver side caliper is grabbing a little, not enough to cause concern but just need to keep an eye on it
- Speedo is broke (fixed)
- Gay blue lights in the dash from previous owner. They really are massively homo. (fixed)
- Shredded dust boots on the front shocks
- Radio wiring is er, interesting (fixed)
- Front lip has got friendly with some kerbs
- Exceptionally dirty air filter needs a bit of a clean
- Brakes are a bit stodgy. Bled the front ones as the drivers side banjo washers were fubar but the pedal remains very soft, might be something to do with the rear caliper possibly

Other than that... iz nice.

Picturios!

Should your handbrake sit that high? :? looks like a super fat sumo before pulled it up too high.

It's not a turbo so it doesn't have a boost gauge, they have battery gauges instead :P

Handbrake is a bit dodgy, possibly due to aforementioned rear caliper issue. I'm not fussed atm as it holds it, I'll look into it later on.

As for how I paid for it... it only cost £1650 ;)

It had a few niggles, although the asking price was still only 2k, the guy wanted a quick sale and it's taken me a few days to sort the problems out. Got a few things to keep an eye on but otherwise it's just awesomely fun motoring.

I don't know what people are moaning about in the wet though... only spun it up once in 1st and I had my foot down turning a sharp corner. Other than that it's been absolutely fine.

Not really got any plans yet, although the driver's side bolster nearest the door is worn thin so I'm thinking I'll save for some red recaro's to stuff in it some time in the year when I start my job. It'll look proper motorsport with those in lol

I've got wheel plans also, but they're gonna have to wait cos they're pricey mofos...

SSR MS1Rs, 16x8 ET26 up front, 16x9 ET26 out back. Dishu and wideness :thumb: I'm thinking gold on black will look the tits
