Bluebear Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Contray to popular belief, Advances do not all have LSDs. They were optional extras. Easiest way to check to see if it has it is to jack the front of the car up, and turn a wheel by hand. If the other wheel spins the same way at the same time, then you have an LSD.Looks like a clean example, I have to say, although it's not good news about the CV's and bearings EDIT: Edited info about LSD after seeing Sparkys post >.> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Nice, i would think its an Advance if it rolled off the production line like that? All advances were two tone i believe.Either way, i like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bildo Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 it is an advance.. but not on the papersyeh al.. really likeing it gettin some money together for sum goodies cheersben.Don't you think that the car actually BEING a turbo is a bit more of a giveaway than a few vinyls?You do realise that if you crash, insurance will take one look at your car and void your insurance? Right now your car is technically uninsured.Do the right thing and insure it properly, if you can't afford it, don't have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hursty Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 i will but.. its not my fault it was already registered like that.. i will change it..ben. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bildo Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 i will but.. its not my fault it was already registered like that.. i will change it..ben.If you got pulled over or worst case scenario, crashed and then said to the police/your insurers "oh, it's not my fault, it came like that." You wouldn't have a leg to stand on.On the log book mine isn't a Turbo, which I'm currently in the process of trying to get changed, I do however have it declared as a Turbo with the insurers and every single mod no matter how small declared.I bend over backwards paying for it, but it's one of those things.I'm only saying how it is mate, anyone could crash at any time, if you crash into someone and you're uninsured you might aswell say goodbye to driving for a while.

Hursty Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 i understand what your saying mate and i am going to insure it as a turbo.. i have been pulled over a few times an i have been shitting myself every time .. but as of yet they dont even know what it is.. but yes that isnt the point.. i do understand the risk i will admit i have never driven a car so carefull since i have been driving.. but yes i do agree with you and i will change itcheersben.
