i have to fly out then get a train and drive back 300 miles, 3hr ferry journey so it better be good lol

not sure on the rims though and it needs the front splitter IMO

 

[Roy]

You can always sell the wheels and put towards the next ones

[barty]

from the IOM and flying to Gatwick, the dealer is in Farnborough and if i buy it, back up to heysham for the ferry

yeah,

i test drove one over hear with 30K on the clock and 6nths older but it was £1500 more but without the kit, cup chassis and recaros. It a lot lot slower than my Hawkeye Impreza, but i found it a fun car to drive.

We have no speed limits here and regulary had the scoob 130+, due to a mapper running it lean it holed a piston and £6K for a new engine didnt take my fancy considering the cars are selling for that, so i sold it on.

fly over on the 9th, its the only time i could get off work

 

[jostheboss]

Thurs? You got any concerns about it? I could always go kick the tyres on sat....

 

[barty]

cheers for the offer, its only done 19K, 1 owner and they have assured me its pristine inside and out. The reg is a private one thats being transferred, but that doesnt bother me as it needs to be registered in the IOM.

I said that if i was going to buy one it had to have the cup chassis, Recaro's and be one of three colours red, white or racing blue.

Went after a red one that had everything on it in Chichester but that sold in 2 days, this one was taken in P/X on Saturday i put a deposit on it Monday

They seem to be so rare with the recaros that when they do come up for sale they get snaffled quickly

 

[barty]

wheres the best place to get the front lip from? the stealers want £190+vat for one...is that about right?

 

[jostheboss]

Check with Karl in his section. If you order now you could pick it up next week, he's not far from here!

 

[Mike]

So true

i was going to buy an evo 6 for £6K in Bristol and a member of the MLR went to see it for me and turned out to be a dog

Saved my bacon ... i even got an email from the dealer saying they took it off sale as they didnt know it was that bad and sorry for wasting my time
