Would have look a lot better if the engine bay (inner body shell) had been sprayed white as well. I personally think that if the engine bay is the original colour it kind of spoils the whole new paint job and corners have been cut. Maybe it\'s just me!

It\'s not only you if that makes a difference.

i totally agree....i sprayed my engine bay black cos it looked shockingly bad in red!

Doubt I\'ll get back from Worthing until early evening I\'m afraid, so no Bubble for me this month.

Agree to an extent on the engine bay (and the rear interior) being red, but ultimately I ain\'t that bothered! ;)

\'Tis not being sold by the garage, the guy just works there. Good point though and I bet there are a few dodgy traders who try to get out of that one!

All you can do at the end of the day is go and look at it, use your best judgment take all the precautions you can and hope for the best.

I went to view this car about 3yrs ago and its quite decent and looked a decent set up, lad who has it is ok too had a good chat with him and he has spared not expense on the car, whenever anything needed doing he had it done.

Hope its still as good, i did not buy due to the graphics tbh, bit too loud for me :Giggle

There was a Car that looked very much like that around the Manchester Area some time back, It went to the Mascrat Meet a few times but the last time i saw the guy who owned it he said he had Blown it up and it was at Pips??

If so it would be good as it will have a Pip built engine (posably) may be worth Ringing WGT and seeing if they have any Record?

Well there is that too :o

Just been looking at a red FD to buy and of course one of the first things needing to be done is re-spray in Purple me thinks !!!!

Also this car is not the same as the one that visits mascrat meet, thats a different car with similar graphics :D

:( :Hammer

Guys, I bottled it. I woke up on Saturday thinking of all the negative points of buying/owning this car and spent the day mulling it over. Then I did what I absolutely hate - I pulled out of going to see Tom (the seller) the morning I was due to drive down (it is nearly three and a half hours from here!) :2Rolleyes

The bottom line was not whether I could afford it or even whether I can handle it, but actually how much I\'d use it. At 10mpg (at best I imagine with that spec), I wouldn\'t do any long journies. Moreover, it\'s not like my everyday car is a Mondeo or something (no offence), as I drive a DC5 Integra Type-R with some decent mods. I don\'t even drive that too much any more as I recently changed job and now commute on public transport, when I used to drive and go to a fair amount of meetings around the country.

So, I came to realise I wouldn\'t use the Rex much at all and it would be a very pretty but very expensive driveway ornament most of the time. I\'m gutted in a way, but relieved as well cos I won\'t be beating myself up about the money I\'ve "wasted".

Tom offered to drop the price to £6500 - for a single turbo with fresh rebuild from RE:Worx! Gotta be a bargain for someone.

I still really want one, but I\'m gonna have to have money to burn first I think. Then I can become a car collector... ;)
