a lot of expense if they go wrong as well, hence why they're all being scrapped... Mazda charge £3,500 for a replacement supercharger hahaha... I mean...
YEP still got her, she's been sorn for the past year though as I have four cars (RX8, 350Z, Saab 9-3) and she was sorn. However about to get rid of the RX8 and the Saab so she shall rise again in a month or two
And I think there's 29 letf in the UK now... and certainly none like mine so she could be one of a handful now... and ZERO rust still on her!!!
Yeah and I knew the tyres were right down to minimum as I measured... knowing that I'll replace if it was worth it. No point putting lovely new tyres and there was £1k of remedial work which I wasn'rt prepared to pay so... game on. Will pick up some new tyres over the next week so I know it's 100% safe and now time to correct the paint and give her some love. The only thing we've noticed is the battery is either shot or the alternator isn't charging properly so just testing which one, other than that all is good!
Deffo I get her back tomorrow once I know whether I need a new battery or alternator... but yeah deffo take her for a blast
Is it not showing the originals on the first page?
Ahhh could be me, oriingally when I posted they were on my website, then security things now stop, so I edited the original front page with how I changed her... using imgurl... which is allowed here. Hopefully ones on the front page are now showing, that's how it looks with my two upgrades, wheels and lowering springs.
Especially when you look what it was when I bought it on the factory setup... doesn't even look like the same car lets be honest!Those wheels and the ride height should be factory! that looks insanely good. Wheels fill the arches perfectly and the style really suits the car.
Totally forgot you originally gave £400 for it
Pity you can't find those piccies, would be good to see one.I looked for pictures of mine but seem to have deleted them - same car same colour but mine was a dog.
Valve seals leaked as it was never returned for recall on them -Rocker covers leaked and plug holes filled with oil - Climate panel packed up and it had rust on near side rear door and wing - seems it had a accident and bodge it and scarper did the repairs. - Brakes were rubbish and stood it for two years then renewed discs and pads and they turned out to be best brakes I have ever had on a car.
I did like it though - slightly better than 626 GT V6 I had before.
Look after it Pug and you never know you might get £160k for it like that Audi Quattro that sold yesterday.
I think the only thing missing was the optional electrical pack which gave it heated seats. - You do know the USA version had a solar panel sun roof to power the aircon unit in left rear of boot - you could set it to come on at anytime when you had left it parked.
Nice to see it again.
What caused the engine limp home mode mate if you don't mind me asking? I'm going to be cleaning all the engine bay off this weekend and tidy it/degrease it all as well. Check all the piping as these can be a nightmare for vacuum leaks!
so, got in, here's a couple of 2021 piccies from today in the rain... not all polished because the weather is appalling here so it'll have to wait. Just cleaned the interior properly instead.
