Wotcha!
« on: February 17, 2008, 12:32:12 pm »
New UK member, here is my car:



Here is the ad I saw it in:

• 65,000 miles
• Manual
• Red
• Petrol
• Hatchback
• 1998 cc
Full Description:
Glossary of Terms
Manual, 65,000 miles, 1995 JDM ST-205, I'm the first owner since import, this is an excellent example of a very rare car, it has been owned by a GT4OC member, and is maintained to the highest standards. The car has had all of the usual import niggles dealt with, new cam belt, superstrut suspension components replaced (VERY costly job!) new diff mount, radiator etc etc, it is now in A1 cndition, ready to be used. The car benefits from :- T&T ready to drive away Toad Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser full tanabe exhaust system Lowered four way adjustable suspension HKS air filter and polished elbow blitz dump valve Pro comp ultra-lite boost gauge (imported from the U.S) 'custom' fitted boost gauge pod 17" lightweight alloys electric windows & mirrors climate control/air con momo gear knob WRC spoiler blocks Rare hypersports mats and probably more that I've forgotten. Within the last 1000 miles this car has had the following work carried out on it - New Figure 8's and lower arms fitted (VERY expensive!), new radiator, new front discs and pads, new front anti-roll bar bushes, new spark plugs, HT leads, dizzy arm and cap, and Goodyear eagle f1 tyres, which suit the car very well! No timewasters please. No tyre kickers or test pilots.This is a very fast car and is not here for taxi rides. £5,250. ono

Anywho, he seems like a genuine bloke (I'm still in contact through another forum). Selling due to emigration to Canada. I got it for £4,900 cash.

I got to see the discarded figure of 8's, which was reassuring, but it's one hell of a car for the money.

I've taken off the spoiler blocks...I'm 40 and want to disguise my mid life crisis as much as possible!

I love it....took my girlfriend's 86 year old dad out for a spin yesterday. Took it up to 120. He loved it, too.


Anyway, enjoying browsing here in Maidenhead, Berks, UK. Hi to all.

Nice colour, nice car... I know what you mean about the raiser blocks... I'm going through that process just now.

Thanks all for the welcome....

The other thing about removing the blocks is that it makes for an even bigger surprise at the lights when a Beemer or similar draws up.

Hehehe

Thank you all for the welcome.

I'll keep those raiser blocks to hand in case I change my mind.

Had a little race with my bro's new Boxster last night. Hehehe. Too easy.

Glad your enjoying ownership :)
