Finally bought one.

Post by Jobes » Wed May 10, 2017 12:15 am

After avidly searching and researching the great advice on here I've finally bought a 3.0 roadster :D
Was really sketchy at speed but I've put a set of rain sports on and had a hunter alignment, totally changed the car.
Just need some wheels now as these need a refurb but as I'm not a fan of the 108 I'll try and find some different ones.

Hi and congratulations, anyone who has followed your threads would probably like to know what range of budget you had to go to following your initial failure to find one that meet your requirements?. The car body work looks very tidy.

Lovely Zed you got there, sounds like a good deal too :thumbsup:

I think the 108's look really good with the car colour. I didn't like my 107's at first but they have really grown on me.

Hi and Welcome!
Much prefer the 108's to 107's... If you can get some 224's. That's where I'd put my money!

Thanks all. Car seems good, it had rfts on front so I put a full set of rainsport 3's on. I also had a full hunter align done which made a big difference.
Our roads here are really bad, been out in the car today local and the ride is terrible on the roads here. Going up the Yorkshire dales in it tommorrow, hopefully it will be better up there or it won't be staying long :(
