Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) It is my old one. Needs new trans fluid and the plastic heater return pipes at a minimum. If you swap your sedan for it I will drive up to Auckland and punch you... I know where you live It begs the question of why it is being onsold so quickly... I assume it is a private seller who has just picked it up as a trade-in special? Have never touched the brakes, the seller doesn't know what he is on about Edited January 25, 2018 by Young Thrash Driver Edit to add Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been itching to learn how to take off the intake manifold, so I could replace them return pipes (and the whole cooling system...) still sounds like a fun project. 7 hours ago, qube said: buy it, swap the msport parts onto it from the sedan then sell the sedan for 3-4k What is there to even swap here? Bumpers? But then I might lose PDCs. Front bumper on mine has headlight washers (which I've removed the fuse for...) my suspension isn't original, so I can't swap out the Msport bits from there... feels like all that's left are headlights, and sway bar...

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 I'd avoid it unless you're keen on a trans rebuild. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A healthy chat with the wife made it clear I need to sell mine before I replace it with anything... I need to do some work on mine still, then I'll be comfortable posting it at a loss, to buy a more expensive car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
