i have found my starion

it is edge off the forums one.

so its not anywhere near the same as the other two, in terms of being basically one owner brand new spec, but its also cheap enough for me to buy without breaking the bank like the others are.

the following parts were replaced with brand new items:
tc06
head
rods
crank, rings, bearing complete bottom end rebuild
LSD
not sure where he got the stuff from, but hes got receipts for it.


other bits and bobs
it has a reco'd gearbox, with a 12 month warranty from when it was done recently.
new clutch
light flywheel
new tyres
correct offset mags (15")
MPI (running with the original ECU, and a host of new sensors adapted to a Greddy Emanage to run it. probably the only thing i would want to ditch for a standalone)
big front mount
new exhaust. (2.5")
engine rebuilt with new rotating assembly and EVO3 pistons, machined for clearance, and comp ratio of 7.5:1
good stereo
bucket seats. all original interior is there, and in good nick. also white face gauges.
lowered suspension with brand new shocks/dobi springs (not sure hwo good these are bt no doubt better than the original ones.)
JD front lower valance/bar/spoiler/airdam/whatever you call it.

body has been professionaly resprayed blurple and had all imperfections removed.

he has had it for 7 years and been modifiying it slowly the whole time.
the things i dont like are that the front bumper has cut out to fit the I/C, and the triangle cut outs in the front bit above the bumper for more airflow. i will replace this asap.

also he is a qualified mechanic so it has a full service history for the last 7 years, and has had all maintenance done on it, i.e. wheel bearings, and stuff like that has been done as soon as it needed it.

tell em what you think
i pick it up in a month.
