His advice was quite detailed but yours is through! Thanks again.This brings me to a unit I have seen recently and perhaps keen to buy pending approval of my loan and I have decided to bring the car to Ah kits place to have it checked out.On what I have learned so far and my experience testing this car physically and visually here are my results.Exterior:one problem, both side fenders have been open up b4. through check from the front and also the beam that supports the radiator does not show any accident. no rust visible ori paint still there intercooler fins bent a little but no dents.My query to why the there are gaps between chasis and the fender where the screws sits is coz the had to remove the or loosen the fenders so they can change the lights to e8 ones. Altough one light has a broken kaki whihc they glued back. rest of the car body seems fine. Mind you im no expert like you and perhaps you have a better eye that myself when it comes to detecting damage on a car's body. opened the doors and checked the spot welds all ok. opened the trunk and yes that bladdy white colour glue, is there.my concern it the front two fenders. got gap!:confused_smile: how arr?engine bay:car idle's fine. just tat gt lil vibration. I had posted abt it. but the thread gt lost due to system reload 7/3/07. its now gone. Lemme explain again.visible tat engine doesnt sit in one place. very minimal vib's if u see carefully can notice wan. wat i did was tap the throttle from 850rpm to 1250 rpm, the vibs get more. u can feel when sitting in the car. if tekan to approx 3-4k rpm dun have. temp is ok aircond is fine. oh yeah i think gt one pulley makin noise dunnow which one. besides tat engine neat. no messy stuff in there.interior: not too bad if i should say so. not perfect tough. BLaddy ori steering not there. gt sum stupid giant 'wan tan mee bowl' like omp steering. its a quick release one. so the srs light will be lit cos 1 air bag dun haf.test drive:not too bad. im not used to an evo but leslie told me to do some stuff. i didnt try to the extent he said laaaa......scared. but cornering was a nice experience. car handle nicely. no funny sound but perhaps the powersteering maybe gonna kong. so some noise when i do u-turn, turn the steering to da max.!:angel_smile: no drive shaft noises. 3 light u spoke abt lit up when turn the ignition and goes off with just tarmac still on..............what else ah...? aiyoh fingers paining leh!.....this shld be abt it.My main concern is the two fenders and the engine moving a little.DD perhap with this info you can shed a little more advice. appreciate your/others commentscheers kind regardsbtw car loc: autocity cheras white colour e7.</blockquote>
