would be helpful if i gave you the link!! 

mine is a 93 8v too as seen in my signature

mine is a 93 too, welcome to the early mk 3 club

[boneybradley]

mines only 8 valves too...don't listen to the 16v boys saying there's are so so so much faster. tell them the 8v is a better all round car as you dont need loads of revs!

8v as well TBH its a nice engine loads of low down grunt also i drive a lot on the motor ways very smooth to drive

Only if it was black, 3 door, 16v, later model, and was sub 100k miles, otherwise nahhhhhh
