little axle light on ignition should come on and go out, like abs.
Vtec change over should feel smooth. There will be little 'kick' from a healthy type S engine.
If you find a little open tarmac stop. imagine you were in slow traffic and you wanted to change lanes quickly. coast along in first and turn the wheel while giving some power. Try and pull it back right away. If the wheel/car fights you and tries to pile you into what would be the car two lanes over then ATTS is working correctly
It will feel like a really strong 'forcefeedback' steering wheel for an xbox etc.Check the front bushes. these done exist on any other ludes. they attach to the front cross member.
Check for smoke on overrun. really give it a good hard try mate. third gear top of the revs and let it coast down to near stall. then bury the go pedal. If it puff then you have valve stem issues maybe. seems to be an issue with type S engines. both my red one and my cureent white one do this.
rust in the boot. pull up all the carpets and the rubber seal round the boot edge.
look in the side areas where the jack etc are as these collect water if the rear lights are leaking
do all your digi climate controls work? and the folding mirrors? if one mirror not then prob a replacement door with no wiring.
second and third gear crunch. these get hammered in type S so really go through the gears in all revs. If you really beat it in first gear the gearstick will almost get spat out for second. make sure all gears go in while the hammers down.
do a fast start with a little steering lock on. you shouldn't get any major tire scrubbing on one side or other. this is atts.
do a drag start and make sure there are no clunks from the tranny.
It looks like a frikkin dream mate. pop by on your way home if you fancy a breather and a cuppa
