Not in all of them no. The import for example has the B20a which is down on power in comparison. The B20a7 has a 10.5:1 compression and puts out a respectable 150 brake 8) . It's a light car, so it goes! ;-)

Lisa and I see this one drive past us regularly in the mornings on the way to the train station.
It's pre-facelift, so I don't know why he's saying otherwise, as he obviously does know a fair bit about the car.

:? I have to say in the metal on the drive by, the body doesn't doesn't look in as good condition as the description makes out??? I do only see it moving though so perhaps moving ludes are deceptive :lol: (it does look SERIOUSLY damn cool cruising by, btw).

If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll go and see it when it's stood still.

:think: In fact, sod it, if I get a chance one evening, I may go and see it anyway just to satisfy my curiosity! :lol:

Hmmm 3.5K?

Front bumper has got a scrape, the exhaust does not look like a great install, on the first pick its touching the tarmac, the gearknob which should be burned, the steering wheel looks far too much Carmagedon.

I think 3.5 is a bit much given the above, certainly 2K would be a reasonable amount to ask for it given the mileage and the overall condition.

Aside from the price (way way out of my league) and the lack of space... The 1.5 3rd gens I have more than fill the 3rd gen hole in my life!!!

So £1.5k discount is justified by having to get the bumper touched up, adjusting the exhaust yourself and swapping a gearknob and steering wheel?

That one is much nicer, especially if you like your I.C.E. in place of rear seats, it's been on e-bay at least once before.
