When I was looking to buy my FTO, I was so close to buying zuihoujueding's (well now yours :lol: ), inspected it and drove it.
Such a nice car!

Depending on when and where the car was complianced... It (at one stage) was deemed that the indicators had to be moved to that location "for view and safety"

An update on things. Getting an engine swap done currently, using Shane001's MIVEC motor. Hoping to have the car back in my hands tomorrow morning :D Already have a few people interested in the old motor for a Excel MIVEC project, or a MIVEC mirage project.

Aforementioned oil problems? High kms?

I know I'm looking at getting a low km one because it'd be about the same cost as a major service, haha. But you get a spare engine too.
