Guest spanky333 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Hi, Been registered on the forum a while taking notes and gaining knowledge before I bought one. Today I finally bought one, needs a little TLC but for the price I paid for a 6 speed Twin Turbo with low mileage I think I have done well. I have no pics but this was the advert: http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/697496.htm Main issue with the car are the nearside rear shock is leaking (according to seller) so the rear near side wheel over any moderate bump in the road hits the wheel arch. The other one is the drivers seat. The electric slide control does not work properly one rail moves backwards and forwards but the other seems jammed. Any way Hello and i hope to pick your brains.

Thorin Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Well it's lowered and with the wrong tyre size profile on for 19's, that won't help with wheel arch clearance either. Sounds like a good deal though. Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 You can pick the seats for very little money if they are just normal cloth ones. People dont seem to be able to give them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spanky333 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Thanks for the Comments. Looks like the rear tyre size should be 265/30/19 dont understand why its only one wheel rubbing though but will investigate over the weekend. The seat I will remove also have a look whats going wrong. Sounds a pig of a job though. But the car is pretty tidy for its age and pulls like nothing I have had or been in before. I had a smile all the way home and to be honest still have a smile now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrikbrunt Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 removing a seat is an easy job mate, just 5 bolts to undo and a couple of electrical connectors unless you meant getting the seat fixed to be a pig... in which case...yes it may be!! welcome anyway. 6 speeds getting so cheap now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spanky333 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Rears are 275/35/19 from the bit of searching I've seen that it should be 265/30/19. Would be intrested to see if it is just a tyre issue and not a faulty shock. The car did feel really good on the way home and was not all over the place even driving it home over the pennines in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
