Well it might be making it onto my driveway for nearly a fifth of that Bob Yeah cam belt is the main thing I know, I don't think I want the big spoiler, I'd be happy with the one from my MK1 if it wasn't in black! Probably going to be a WIP car with bits appearing as and when they become available. Thanks for your advice boys, seems to be a worthwhile purchase for the price that George has been saying he can get it for, so I think I'm going to go for it. If anyone has any bits for it they fancy getting shot of that might come in handy that'd be great, pretty sure it's Goodwood green (according to Matt) .

Nice one

£550 is a great price

Enjoy it.........

Just one price of constructive criticism and this is why I HATE mine so much the clutch pedals biting point slave mechanism etc are crap and gearchanges sometimes feel like your changing gears on a cheifton tank

Haha I'll bear that in mind, however, do remember that I drove a beaten up 400 diesel for nearly 3 years, with a clutch that had not been changed in about 50,000 miles, so I know the feeling. I was basically kneeing the sunroof with each change :P

Ive driven a few zr's and zs's with the IB5 and can honestly say i thought they drove very well and can only agree with Ritchy.

Hope it wasnt Mr clutch Tim you went to !

And a throttle that went sideways and needed to be pushed into the floor to move. God knows how much you bribed the MOT man each time
