Faeros Posted 5, November 2015 Report Share Posted 5, November 2015 Good luck with that F1. The interior was pretty toast from the video I saw. How bad is it in the flesh? If a 10 is a mint condition and a 5 is a daily used but cleaned only every few months. This is easily a 2 or even a 1 (I'll go with a 1 since he was a smoker). Nevertheless for the plans I have it was the perfect pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No152 Posted 5, November 2015 Report Share Posted 5, November 2015 I picked up that F1 225 in case anyone wonders what happens to it. Mechanically perfect just needed a clean and by that I mean I'm going to decontaminate it. I'll have a build log up at some stage in the future. Good luck on your search, let us know what you get and post some maaaad pics!!! See you at a drive day sometime maybe. Oh no, I can the Fernando II thread is imminent... Well done, hopefully it will turn out just as you want it to be with some TLC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitmanAU Posted 5, November 2015 Author Report Share Posted 5, November 2015 Grey cup owner messaged me to see if I was still interested, said car had been at mechanics to get a clear bill of health. I asked him if emissions issue was fixed and if clutch sticking halfway down was still an issue, he says it's all been fixed but I'm still not sure it's worth the risk, for only $2000 more I could get a much cleaner car and if I wait I may even get a cup for that money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamstrung Posted 6, November 2015 Report Share Posted 6, November 2015 The red WA one looks ridiculously good value for 65K km, plus an '09 model. If it's as good as it looks, IMO it is worth the cost of freighting it back to the eastern seaboard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's commitment but you can always freight it . The flights to go look are the thing if it's not "the one". The seller will realise the issue and either have to sell locally or come some way to the party on logistics I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitmanAU Posted 11, November 2015 Author Report Share Posted 11, November 2015 Drove the car. It's a phase 2 and has xenon headlights too and 18s. Deposit is paid will pay remainder in Friday when I pick the car up. Has had timing belt done 20000 ago, engine mounts done, bushes done, brakes done, brand new tyres. Drove like new. Sorry I'm being vague, very excited! Car is spotless. It has got one small issue, the battery got replaced and now the Windows (all of them) don't go down in one press, they go down a bit then stop, then you press again and they go a bit more then stop etc etc. same for up and it happens on all 4 Windows. Easy fix? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitmanAU Posted 11, November 2015 Author Report Share Posted 11, November 2015 I agree, you've all really made me feel welcome. The community here seem a great bunch of true enthusiasts. Can't wait to get the Meg, even the wife and kids are excited! Mods will have to wait for now but fire will be freeing up the intake and exhaust.

hamstrung Posted 11, November 2015 Report Share Posted 11, November 2015 (edited) Not sure about the other bits, but I think xenons were standard on ph2 (someone can correct me if I'm wrong?). The other stuff was probably optioned up. You can tell a ph2 Cup from the mirror/wheel colour and cross drilled rotors. Oh, and congrats!

It's always enjoyable following the journey with someone discovering and buying their first RS car. It is a great forum, and some really good folks on here. Now we can watch the mod thread and all the drive day pics, and then the next thread when Hitman gets his first Clio as well... That bit is, of course, mandatory....

Always worth finding a perfect one I think even if takes a while. Look forward to some driving impressions when you have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
