Looks alright...
But what the **** it that blue thing next to it? MR2?
So ive picked this little beast up today from Pitsea in good old Essex, got it for a decent price but im undecided if il keep it and put my touches into it or getting up to scratch and flog it on!!
Its got a few niggles with it ie the injector light is on even after a new Lamnda sensor but i beleive theres an air leak somewhere so il be pulling it apart tomorow to suss it out plus a minor oil leak, maybe the sump gasket as it near the back!
Its also missing a dumpvalve of any note, bunged up either end and a vacumm pipe just tied into a not, also may have something todo with it running a tad rough?
As for spec well, it comes with light weight 17's,lowered,T25 Turbo,R5 Intercooler (not sure why?), cool louvred bad boy bonnet, some sort of kit not sure what make tbh,uprated discs front and rear, silly mirrors (not keen at all), over the top exhaust system with de-cat and letter box trims i think its a modified magnex but il check tomorow,induction kit,in-car boost,tinted lights all round, Sparco buckets and Harnesses which im not a fan so will be looking to take em out and swop em for a GT3 interior plus some cash my way if any ones interested lol. Plus other bits and bobs, just want toget it running right then il move onto to changing bits.
Opinions welcome.........................

With a new front bumper and bonnet it would be very nice. I like the rest of it.
