...and it's a mixed bag, but mainly good. Car was recently imported and needs a bit of tidying up.

 

It sits very low, put it up on a ramp earlier and it's immaculate under there! Also runs on aftermarket suspension which is adjustable at the rear, nice touch, but I clicked it up a notch as it was too hard!!!!

 

There's also a noise coming from the rear, thought it was suspension related but everything was ship shape at the back. Might be me, unless it's just the noise the shocks make when going over bumps, doesn't do it when bouncing the back of the car.

 

Think there is a heat shield or something loose as it rattles at about 1500 rpm then goes away.

 

The dash squeaks a lot and I have to get this sorted, tried tightening all the screws I could see but no joy. Short of taking it all apart I have no idea how to stop this.

 

Couple of minor bits on the body work need sorting, front bumper and t-bar/windscreen strips

 

Now for the engine, sounds sweet enough, the guy said it just had an oil change and it looks good, he used 5W40, will this be OK? Pressure gauge seems a bit intermitant but read that it's more likely the gauge than anything else.

 

Oh the important bit. It's a 1994 non turbo manual in blue, loving it. Bloke was in the middle of moving so took a lowish offer, I was well pleased.

 

Done 200 miles earlier, fun fun fun

sounds pretty good and welcome to the club....enjoy your mighty zed...
