5th gen SIR breaking

Post by newkid » Fri Oct 06, 2017 8:19 am

If ever there was a car to show why undersealing is important this is the one! British weather and salt has killed the car! Rear jacking points have caved in again as the rust spread even further than last time.

Most parts available, some have already sold, skunk 2 catback is about the only mod on the car, is lowered but as you can see from pics there rusty!

Wow that's epic rust.

I need the 2 small carpet trims that sit at the end of the centre console under the dash with clips intact.

These at the bottom.

Ratty I'll check today but gut tells me passenger one has a broken tab. Was removed alot to reset 4ws.

Andy I'll pm you bud.

Nafe I'm sure it's 60mm but wouldn't want to say till it's off.

I'm actually gutted this one's going of the road as it's the most expensive lude I ever bought and I did put some £'s into it. Battery was only bought in August!

It's certainly a huge shame :(

Give me a shout if it turns out to be the 70mm version.

It does look fantastic in white with those wheels I must say.

I'm after a pair of rear upper control arms for my dad's Lude, I take it they're not salvageable either?

Have you got a full set of mats or just the front two?
I'd also be interested in the climate control depending on how hard it is to fit to a UK car?
Is that a carbon trim set as well?

I'd need to try get rear into the air to see. Floor is gone at the jackpoint. Mats are sold front and back. Someone on forum has done climate in a UK. I'll see if I can find the thread in a bit. Yes full carbon, for sale on a separate thread.
