'2'First the pics, then I shall list the good and bad bits.
I will not pretend the car is a show winner
(great opening eh?) as it's been used regularly by myself most days.However, I have done my best to look after it mechanically and have always had the oil and filter changed every 3000 miles religiously.
I always allow the car to warm up/cool down etc.
There are no dents in the bodywork that I can see.
The Good:
Most things really, the car has always been reliable, still pulls strong and embaresses other more expensive marques!
Comes with 17" magline wheels which are forged and supposed to be really strong, yet light.
I can confirm they are light as they weigh no more than the stock 15" wheels (yes I weighed them lol)Boost is set to 1 bar via a grainger valve.
Helping this along is a 3" aussie downpipe (with the support bracket) and a full stainless mongoose exhaust.I also have a full stock exhaust system and the cat.
I will give these away with the car if required.In the last few years it has had a new fuel filter, new radiator and all 4 calipers have been replaced too
(so no sticking!) As well as anything else it has needed. I have loads of reciepts for these things.Interior is fairly standard with nothing hanging off, no ripped seats or anything like that.
Uprated things include an Autometer 3301 boost guage
(matches the stock clocks I feel) on a single pillar pod. Also there are uprated Infinity component speakers in the front and back.The Bad:
There's a bit of rust at the bottom of the drivers door
(this could be touched up I imagine)The aircon radiator does not work any more as it has crumbled basically, although the pump still works fine.
I did mean to get around to fixing this but it was a lower priority, due to this being the uk and all...Finally, I must make you aware of one issue that I do not have the time to look into anymore:
When the car is pulling off under load or coming to a halt, sometimes there is a slight metalic creak.
I was told by a garage that this was free play in the diff, so I had the gearbox replaced. It wasn't this.They suggested it was free play on the carrier bearing on the drivers side driveshaft, so these were both swapped.
It wasn't this either.I'm sure someone on here will be able to fix this in no time and have themselves a great car.
But I just don't have the time to look into it anymore.The car will be back with me sometime next week if anyone is still interested!
I'm aware that admitting these few niggles will put some people off, but I could not in good faith sell it without saying so.
Mot'd until early October, taxed until end of November.
I am advertising it for
£2,200 onoAfter looking at other ones for sale, price and condition etc, this seems a fair price for a 1996 model.
Why am I selling?
Due to work constraints I no longer have the time to keep on top of little things, so I would prefer the car goes to an enthusiast than get run into the ground.
Please PM me if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking
