What are your thoughts on the upgrades as i'd be moving from a Rev 4 Mk2 to this, I literally have no idea what it's worth??
Was advertised at 4.5k "buy it now" with a 4k reserve, but highest bid was 2.3k.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated...

Did you start the engine and do a drive? Any smoke?
Have the precats been left in?
Pertinent questions - oh and I think £4K is a bit rich with no hardtop.

No smoke and the car drives well, he said there are no pre cats because of the new manifold etc which has been fitted?

well that's good, but price is still a little rich for age/mileage and spec I think.

I suppose if you have a choice I would avoid an MRS because the jap engine codes cannot be easily read. In general the cars are the same but if you get any engine errors its realy handy to be able to read and clear them.

Its the bracing that makes it like that, I see you have plenty.
Is mobil 1 gearbox oil? or does it come in variations? I used mt90 I think.
Looks to have been well cared for and lavished upon, a good buy from an enthusiast.
Nice one.
