So picked this up yesterday after seeing it on here for rather cheap, been wanting a runaround for a while and as much as I could bear with the Cup throughout these winter months it would be easier just have a comfier car! Here's a few snaps...
Was a little suspect about it given the price but even if things didnt turn out as good as first thought I could of broke even by just selling the modified bits on it. Luckily it is a pretty good car, there is a few things to do to get it running perfect but i'm rather happy!
Just knocked over 122,000 miles but the engine runs sweet as a nut, pulls surprisingly well given the mileage/in comparison to the Cup and the chap had a Rolling Road printout of the car making 136bhp at the wheels so seems like a healthy engine! Came with 5 months tax and 10 months Mot, also has air-con but atm has the wrong heater motor so the air-con is disconnected (fine for this time of year!).
The car came with a few modifications also, most i'll be taking off to replace for standard bits to make a bit of money back on it. Anyways it has...
BMC CDA filter
Prima Racing cat-back exhaust
Omp strut brace
B&M shortshift
Lowered 40mm on unknown shocks+springs
Phase 2 Megane full black leathers
Sabelt 300mm steering wheel/horn push and boss kit
15" Scenic Steels with brand new Toyo T1-R's instead of the standard wheels
The car sounds pretty nice with the mods but for a daily I just want it as comfy as possible, the leather seats help that no end! Loving driving in comfort instead of bucket seats with head restraints, easy driving!
Got a few things planned for it, mainly standardising it and fixing a few things...
Sell aftermarket exhaust and fit standard exhaust that came with the car
Sell BMC CDA and get a cheap F7R airbox or Ph1 172 airbox and standard filter
Selling the scenic steels/tyres and fit 2118's off the Cup temporarily and find some standard wheels
New alternator belt
Eventually get an air-con heater motor for it
Set of front fogs
Source some interior plastics that are missing
Fit side spat back onto passenger side skirt
Then just a general tidy up of the exterior/interior (desticker/debadge and a decent clean)
Not bad for £450 though
Cheers
