Hi everyone, thinking of buying a furio (due to my age and insurance prices) so what do you all think of them?? Theres one on ebay but apparently need some rust welding which is ok as i can get welding done at college.

Could be the cause of the clunking from the front. Especially as its said to be clunking sometimes when steering.

Hahaha The car would definitely be worth a look. Then you can see exactly what is causing the clunking

I'll have to fit remote if it doesnt have it, I fitted it on my corsa and its worth it for how cheap you can get a kit.
