Ahh i see, bit more modern than the 8v...
That's fine just didn't want to take it all apart if i didn't have to.
ICV always a problem on these, had trouble a few times on the vtr, you'd turn it on and it'd rev its nuts off, without touching it!
it's done 95k, the guy i bought it off bought it as a project but just left it on the drive.
the owner before that was female, its had fair amount of cosmetic work done but the engine and mechanicals have clearly been neglected.
i think the best course of action would be to just clean it all up like you say - i can get a good look inside and see exactly what's what. Better to take my time and investigate rather than just throw money at additives etc. I'm not really in any rush to get it on the road, my deadline will be like april next year hopefully get it out for the summer.
Decent amount of time to strip it down and build it back up.
new gaskets, give the head a good clean to get everything back in tolerance, and it should be a nice little bargain!
Came with a lovely plate, got the certificate and everything - CS02 VTS
and the car was originally an 02 plate!
The shell is cleaner than my vtr, solid strut towers, but its a bit rotten underneath.
no actual rust holes as on the vtr though, so should be ok with a good wire scrub and some rust proofing.
Thanks again Gandi - always on hand, top man
