Ahhh, now I understand Hello and welcome. Please post some pics of the car when you get it. I don't want to worry you but it looks like it's been in a rear end total write off and rolled over and over again in a fatal motorway crash which killed a coach full of nuns and orphan babies. Also it seems to have a one cylinder engine from a dumper truck fitted judging by the 50rpm idle

yep i looked at the back end and thought mmmmmmm and the gauges dont add up but all i can think is somethings duff with the cluster as no car ticksover at 500rpm oil pressure will see! at the end of the day its a basic little 2.0 and easy to fix owner is very friendly and helpfull and says it solid in all the places i asked him to look at so thats the first hurdle i am fed up welding these cars and just want a solid one if such a thing is out there

That oil pressure wouldn't worry me one bit. Especially at that low idle!! Looks a cracking car for the cash Steve. You'l soon have it running well. But how long before the modding fever kicks in and it's sat 3" off the floor with a set of EVO11's on?

That would actually be a good mod. I'm fed up with having one nice toasty hand while the other is numb and frost bitten

Hi and welcome to the forum... Why not take a moment to create a 'signature' with your basic location, you never know, you may be living just around the corner from other members and don't even know it..... If you're unsure what to do, take a look at my signature below, for inspiration.... Sorry, Steve - I just had to do it!! |
