Why we bought it
Two car-mad mates picked this up at auction as a light tidy-up project for fun. Underneath it looked solid and it drove well, so we went for it. It's a post-facelift car wearing a pre-facelift front bumper and headlights either a previous owner's styling choice or an earlier repair. No signs of chassis/crumple-zone issues to our eyes.
Highlights
Engine/gearbox: Starts first time, idles smoothly, pulls well; selects all gears fine. We did compression tests and all cylinders were good.
Tuning bits: Uprated air filter, exhaust and dump valve; likely remapped (feels stronger than stock no printout).
Chassis: Coilovers; sits low with no arch rubbing.
Brakes: Work but would benefit from discs and pads all round soon.
Interior: Factory Recaro half-leather seats in tidy condition.
Rear: Twin-exit exhaust; aftermarket boot/strut brace.
Body: Rust-free shell; age-related scuffs/scratches.
Front end: Not original facelift spec (earlier-style bumper & lights).
The honest bits
Cosmetics show age; budget if you want it mint.
Clutch bite point is a bit high (drives fine).
No proof of remap just how it drives.
Summary
A low-mileage Hot Red VXR that starts, drives and boosts well. A straightforward car. Priced to reflect cosmetics, non-original front, clutch bite point and upcoming brakes.
Viewings welcome.
