and am really liking the look of it, has the right bits fitted too - was hoping someone on here knew a bit about it, would like to know more before making the 300+ mile round trip to see it :Giggle

No idea mate - its in Wales at the moment, is that where gman is based?

[Jit]

no idea...i just remmebr that car and those wheels... if it is the same car, i suspect it might be on its last legs if gman thinks its got 10k left in 2005! unless its been rebuilt!

[grinder]

no idea - the reg sounds familiar - but after tracking Gmans threads - i cant find many pics of his cars

[Jit]

cmon grinder...cant be many yellow FDs with ms02s (and i remember them seats as well) now can there? I do remember it having an aftermakret front bumper... actually i can remember quite a lot... compression results when it was up last over a year ago were mid 6s.

he had a yellow one , then went to a FC and then went to a silver one .. humm more digging needed then !! LOL

I\'ve managed to find a couple of pics of gmans car - they definitely look one and the same - those wheels don\'t crop up everyday, the fact its been despoilered and has the same bumper means its more than likely the same car.
 
Its had a reg-plate change though since he\'s sold it lol
 
Its got bride seats and an apexi boost gauge if that jogs anyone\'s memory? The seller\'s got the mileage down as 50000 which is odd if thats what it had when gman sold it!
How much would a compression test cost me, and is there anyone in Wales that can do it?
 
If the last test showed 6.5 then that would explain why the guy has priced it so low

[grinder]

yeah the wheels look the same !

looks like he got it offered back to him for £4K at one point

My friend Paul bought that car from Gman a while ago. He had the front bumper painted and the clutch changed while he had it.
It drove well when he had it, the clutch was a bit snatchy though. The map which was on the PFC when Paul bought it was awful (awful is not a bad enough word but there\'s a swear filter on here) so it was remapped at re:worx.
The car was originally red and the engine bay\'s still red unless the guy\'s sorted it out.

edit: just remembered, mate bought it from the owner after Gman, not Gman

[Alex T]

how many owners has it had?!

[Gman]

Just caught this thread, it was purchased from me by a mate who got a personalised plate for it.  I think its now had 4/5 owners since it was imported but the first two (me and my mate) oly owned it for a year each.

Funny the map was awful as it was mapped fully by Geoff at Reworx when i had it unless it was played with after it left Essex.
