Christened this Muttley for some reason
Had it for 3 years now
As bought : 500 squid ( mustn't grumble ) although it was parked in same spot for two years and sun reflecting off caravan window was probable cause of nasty patch of peeling roof paint laquer.
When purchased needed MOT, since it had only been driven 10 miles since the last one I wasn't too worried ... broke down 50yards from petrol station on way
put in a new set of plugs and it drove ! / passed mot - with advisories on rear shocks, which turned out to be knackered Ohlins with super hard springs, duly swapped for standard shocks and springs.
64k miles, 47k of which is in KM with full service history; sadly it's all Japanese to me.
Base J spec, 'G' model,no PAS ( good! ) no electric folding mirrors, no rear spoiler ( still not sure whether I like spoilerless or not) pretty clean throughout, totally solid with hardly a spec of rust.
Mechanically now almost there apart from dead fuel guage.
Came with Phoenix Power Departure 1 exhaust which fell to bits after a year, now fixed.
harness eyes suggest former weekend gymkhana
Gained stickysticky Yoko AD08s . Needs suspension bush refresh to fully enjoy Welsh twisties.
