PrinceRupert Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I like it. I expect it is the perfect combination of slow, thirsty and uninspiring to drive. I might be wrong; please correct me if so. I know little about these. Kringle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherStu Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I used to absolutely love me one of those. I ended up buying a Hyundai Coupe F2 (They clearly rotted or something, because it was actually a great - if not bonkers - car). Nice buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I do like the look of these. I almost bought one once, but it had a borked alternator and I found out through some Googling that you basically have to dismantle the entire car to get to the alternator, so I passed.

Essex V6 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 My 1.8 (Spanish) I owned in about 2004. Superb handling. Loved pretty much everything about it. Ended up chopping it in for an absolutely mint WRX garethj and Joey spud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I think the bloke who invented Gran Turismo on the PlayStation had one of these so the one in the game was always a bit quicker than you’d expect. Nicely bought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There ok actually. Remove the o/s driveshaft and bottom arm and with much giggery,pokery the alternator comes out from below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey spud Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 My son has had two of these the first one was really rotten where the chassis rails pass over axle and fuel tank,it was also rotten where sills met the floor. It was that rust that gets into a seam and just expands the metal untill it crumbles away and wasn't worth the time and effort involved to rebuild it. The V6 manual ones go well enough,rev to 8k and they are still cheap to buy,his current rot free one was £1600. Looking on the jdm forums really silly prices are being asked for anything 90's and slightly fast nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timewaster Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I remember for a while around 2000 my parents were living near Sleaford and whenever I visited there were loads of these around, for a rare car they were everywhere. I guess there must have been a specialist garage or importers nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
