damian Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 well as i get bored of cars very quick, I've decided to buy this. found on ebay 5days ago, bidded £393 and won it! for £393 it has alot of kit!elec windows, elec sun roof, mirrors. (they are must haves in my eyes) has mot till december 2008, tax till jan 2009, alot of service history. only problems so far found the clutch makes a odd noise, crunches a few gears, brand new exhaust knocks on something and odd bits of rust, but better than alot of uk eg's around. has the fog lights which is a nice touch and a vti lower splitter! okish alloys (could be worse) by the way its a esi!when driving around isn't it we thought it handles very well, even me mate used to have a vti and said it handles really well for a esi. well i got bored today and me and my mate decided to strip the rear. when going through the boot i found a bag of tools, and a cap with firm written on it.... then koni. me and my mate looked at one another in suprise...... quickly rushed and took a alloy off to find it has koni shocks and springs on it! result. so the koni's are worth ruff what i bought the car for!enjoy comments welcome!i have alot of plans for this car in the next year or so, each bit coming in stages.
