acf8181 0 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 it wont break more modder freindly hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!yep, it will break and cost a fortune to fix!maybe mod friendly, but the mods will require a mortgage.sorry, just being honest. it also needs winding up to get real performance out of it, so they're often dissappointing to drive at first. keep it above 4k rpm's.but i'll be nice now...the sound is amazing, and theres nothing as nice for the money. make sure you geta low mileage one, or that you have hard proof that the timing chains have been replaced at 100k-120k. its a gearbox out job, and costs big bucks. people (well, traders) may say to you that the chains don't ever need doing, and although this is relatively true, the tensioners do need changing and these still require the 'box to come out. other weakspots are shocks and suspension bushes. and also every eleccy item inside. if you can find one that seems perfect, and has had the chains/bushes/suspension changed then it should be pretty cost effective. best thing to do is try and get an expert to look over it, and get a diagnostics check. also, read through the service history carefully. make sure its been well looked after.
