Nothing really done to it atm, cd stacker, braided break lines (might need replacing for rego), 3" exhaust (same), jap coilover shocks, dark tint (same, but has papers for the work that it complies as was done in aus to replace way dark original tint) but other than that is stock standard from what I or Ed could tell.
Major things that I can tell are it has had a slight bingle in front passenger side of skirt but just a little scratched and paint damage to it and it's an auto, so will have to find somewhere that can do a conversion at some point in the future.
As for why it was so cheap, I can only go on the guys words that he just had no more use for it any more and it was sitting round doing nothing. From what we could tell on the check it's all fine, engine running almost perfect at 97% efficiency and good CO2, CO and O2 from the pipe with no oil burning so no real mechanical issues, and REVS comes up clean too based on the VIN on it, also has both the blue original plate and the green compliance plate with no weld marks round them, no tar on the underbody to indicate crash repairs.....I'm taking it as just managing to snag a bargain for the body shape I actually want and not looking a gift in the mouth
Aurora, thanks for the advice, will look into it but was going to go for something non-simple, such as widebody and agressive front/rear style, hence looking to Veilside first....might also look to J-Racing and New-Gel to make something custom if I can't find anything else that takes my fancy.
Look forward to meeting up a few people too, I have lots to learn again now as to ECU's, turbo upgrades, etc as well as the handling and driving...haven';t driven a RWD in about 15 years
