I think im gonna go for it but just wanted to see what your good and bad points were to look out for when i go to look at it.

Thanks again - Dave

Welcome to the forum.

Really just check for service history and if the belts and dephaser etc have been changed at the right times. I paid 700 to get mine done so be careful :s

Then just the usual stuff you'd check on any other car really

Welcome along, I've had 2 of them with a 4 year gap inbetween. I love them. I've driven other variants and had to go back. Some will prefer a 182 with all the goodies etc but I like the way they drive like a old skool hot hatch. In comparison to a type r, I wouldn't say it was a downgrade.

In terms of what to look out for. There's plenty of threads on here. Make sure it's had belts done correctly and all the bits of specific cup trim are intact. Spoiler, splitter, speedline turinis etc etc. oh and if it has a standard exhaust expect to leave it in a hedgerow shortly.

Haha this has got a ktec stealth system i think or somethig that sounds familiar anyways. Tidy tourinis in black and front a rear strut braces. Looks tidy to be honest. Will have to find out about cambelt and dephaser thanks
