Any hole's a goal!
Compliance factor meanwhile.

When I was looking to buy my FTO, I was so close to buying zuihoujueding's (well now yours
), 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"

A couple more photos to add
Not much has changed to the car since, just haven't had much time or money
to get around to do anything, hoping to fix my oil problems before the dyno day in September.

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
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.

Oh god
If it's 500 posts for a set of wheels, imagine what an engine swap will entail...
