Title: Time for change (Again!!)
Post by: chrisr103 on 03 April 2013, 15:00
Had a few of these over the years & love the sound, Spotted this one on Ebay & that the winning bidder had no feed back so I emailed him & said I would be interested in it.

Went to see the car, At first I walked away from it because he wouldn't adjust any on the price to accommodate for the tax running out.

Anyway a couple of hours later he emailed me & told me if I wanted it for the price I had earlier told him then I could have it. The main factors for him changing his mind were the tax expired & he had already changed his insurance over to the new car.

Pics how it stood this morning

Got these off Jake

Really easy to fit & makes a big difference

Next it was time for a quick wash

Looks a lot better now

The car is totally standard, Even on OEM backbox, Engine has been left standard

One thing that was annoying me was the stupid Aeriel for the phone kit & the daft sticker that was under it

(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c339/chris246/2076F0E2-52F6-44A5-91C3-F93207803AEE-2120-0000006AF44A926F_zps6a8e86f5.jpg)

Quick go with a blade soon saw the end to that

The remote locking on the alarm wasn't working & neither was the interior clock,

Found out how to re-sync the remote off Cobra web site & got a replacement clock off Jake so im happy again  :D

Gave it a little clean earlier

Think they are about 214 standard, Got potential for big power gains though
