    Welcome.

    Car looks nice, watched the car on e-bay. How much did you get it for? What are your future plans if any?

    Tom.

    yeah, exhaust is a bit "anti-social" but the seller on ebay has offered me the original system. getting the box ripped open and rebuilt this week.

    750 in the end.... which I personally think is a steal, considering the 17s are worth probably 200-300 to someone. Theyll be getting put up for sale just as soon as ive found some half decent 15/16s to replace them with.

    as for plans? ........ nothing out of the ordinary. abarth roof spoiler, 40mm drop and a slight tint on the glass!

    theres no noise going updown through the cogs.... its more of a clattering noise almost like a bearing thats disintergrating in there. what ever it is making the noise. something isnt happy in the box. Managed a 45 mile drive home with it so it cant be THAT BAD.
