£350 - 12 months MOT and 6 months TAX.
Stainless Steel Back Box (rest of the exhaust looks standard) Superchipped (not sure what chip thou)
new brakes all round

Bad points on the car - rust on rear arches

Some twat tried to break into the car whilst the previous owner had it, they failed . .

Image

But the previous owner also supplied with the car 2 new doors !!

So i am more than happy with it.

112000 on the clock
was rolling road tuned at 99621 (there is a Bosch dealer plate under the bonnet confirming that)

Mechanicly seems very sound, no nasty noises, handles very well, very slight tappet noise from top end.

Gonna get the cam belt changed out asap as a precaution (always a good idea) and yep get the arches and doors sorted, tbh, she does not look like she needs a full respray, just get the arches done and the paint cut in, bonnet has stone chips on as does the front grill, but i have in my shed a new front grill and a bonnet in mint condition which i will also put on her.


gonna get the airbox changed out for an induction kit, there is no point in having holes drilled in the air box, does nothing for the car except allow access for larger objects to get sucked into it.

Scarbourgh.

I bought a new bottom ball joint from a guy called Clive on EBAY.
Paid him through paypal and he confirmed he had recieved payment and he also added that he had this R19 for sale.
told me some details about it and said i could have it for £350.
so got talking to him, checked it out and done the deal Smile

yeah the de-cat went for mega money and the balljoint also went for silly money. I get brand new ones fromthe factor for 8 quid!

I got the pads incl delivery for £8.50. Rear pads bargain. Ferrodos as well.

Hes a good e-bayer, delivered straight away etc

well tbh, i really dont mind paying what i paid for the balljoint because it led to getting this car.

I noticed when changing out the diff circlip on my phase 1 that the bottom balljoint on that side, the rubber had split and was not looking too healthy.

Price on the balljoint was £13.50
