  1. What suspension do you currently have on the car ? I am thinking twice about fitting my TEINs now I will have standard shocks and springs from my N/A coming out if i do fit my TEINS so could maybe do you a deal on them. Let me know if your interested Michael
  2. If you are speaking about having to change the whole upper dash mate, then i think you will find it is a lot more hassle than it is worth. For the sake of saving only £700-1200, i wouldnt even bother. I would hold on until a nicer one comes along eventually. There is always a temptation for people who are looking to buy a particular car, that they will "impulse buy" the first one they see because of the fact they want that type of car so much. I know a lot of people who have done this and regretted it. This car to me, personally, cries out that it has not been looked after. The problems that you know of and can see, could only be the beginning of it mate, you could end up with a complete dog of a car in a few months when mechanical expensive things start to go wrong. And the chances are if the car hasnt had time and TLC spent on it, then its not going to have seen much money thrown at it maintenance wise either. The dash needs replacing, the sunroof sounds like it has had some sort of VERY strange damage, the brakes sound dodgy, and the bumper will cost a few hundred to fix too. If you are also contemplating replacing the airbag / steering wheel, then that could well cost the £1200+ alone alongside the rest of it ! I still think you should walk away. Just because its your favourite colour and has 19" wheels doesnt mean you should overlook the fact that its not a good example. Hope this helps mate Michael
  3. Probably cos theres no worse pain than someone pulling at one of your chompers with a huge pair of pliers and a lever lol
  4. Gee Whizz Scooter keep that up and newbies will be too afraid to join and ask questions for fear of getting slaughtered by you ! Take a valium or something
  5. I have had an Evo 5 GSR and an Evo 6 GSR, both of which were absolutely fantastic phenomenal cars. The pickup on them between changes is blistering, no turbo lag whatsoever and they pull and pull. I would have another Evo 6 in a shot if i wanted to go that route again. Anything before an Evo 4 is far too dated and not worth getting in my opinion. Awesome cars after the 4 though. Michael
  6. About 700-800 i think, but dont quote me on that Forget Ronnie............the one you want to watch out for this year is me old mate Keith Cowie in his R32...............big big BIG power increases and modifications over last time........... Michael
  7. I dont know enough technical wise, but i would say walk away mate. Obviously wear on the pedals and gearknob etc is normal, and the dash may be slightly dry and cracked with the heat in spain maybe ?! Seen this a lot on cars in Cyprus etc..........BUT there are a lot more examples out there that will be better condition and cleaner. I would hold out for the one that makes you say "Yeah this is the one for me!" Michael
  8. Sorry i missed this one, will hopefully meet up with some of you guys at the next one. Looks like a not bad turnout !
  9. Lookin good ! Sonax clean !! Terminator - Of course its the shampoo, i am a man of my word lol !
  10. 19"s on mine and no problems, cant imagine fitting any 17" wheel to a Soop would be a problem !??
  11. Holy fook ! That is such a bad accident it had me looking again and again ! Cant believe anyone could walk away from that. Hope hes ok now.
  12. Is it just me or does that look photoshopped to anyone ? Look closely, the rear spoiler is facing the wrong direction and is where the FRONT windscreen should be, and the front windscreen is where the rear windscreen should be and facing also the wrong direction. Also the pillars on the front windscreen edge seem to just "chop" all of a sudden The roof is completely back to front and looks to be in two pieces that dont join properly (part on left is lower than part on right and why is the rear tailgate sitting on the bonnet/dash area) ?? Either that or its one hell of a "cut out whole roof off" job !? Ouch.
  13. Very nice ! Hate to think what a 315 tyre is gonna set you back ! lol I am bad enough with a 275/35/19 !! Very nice indeed.
  14. LOL nah the zebra is well trained.............folk are more concerned with the Dobermann on the passenger seat !
  15. Whats wrong with red like ? I love my red soop !
  16. Would love to see the socket he uses to remove these supposed "oval" bolts pmsl !!
