Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Vuodesta 2016 omistamani avo seuraavalle harrastajalle. Olen auton kolmas omistaja. Kaksi aiempaa olivat pitkäaikaisia omistajia Saksassa. Ostaessani autolla oli ajettu 145 tkm. Tarkemmat tiedot yhteydenotolla, mutta lyhyesti:
  • Stage 3
  • Isompi FMIC jolle tehty kunnon teline
  • Taliaferron kilut vaihteensiirrossa, shortshift kitit yms.
  • MapTunin poikkituki
  • Alustana BC Racing
  • Jarruletkut peräspunosta, HEL Performance
  • JT Tuning 3" pakoputki yhdellä (taka)vaimentajalla ja Mossemiehen 100 catilla varustetulla 3" downpipella, todella makeat äänet.
+Paljon muuta kivaa. Katto pelaa, auto pelaa, muttei virheetön. Myydään projektiksi asiasta ymmärtävälle, leimahan on voimassa joten ajamalla saa haettua ja muutenkin ajeltua. Vaatisi TECHittelyä (GPS ja CD-vaihtaja offlinessa) ja todnäk uuden tp-ketjusarjan (jakoketjusarja vaihdettu jo kertaalleen Saksassa) kun napsuttaa hetken aikaa käynnistyksen jälkeen (Ääni lakkaa kun käynyt pari minuuttia), kytkin lipsuu ajoittain. Päästöt prinkkalassa, Lambda? Mahdollista ostaa mukaan herkkuja touhailuun lisähinnasta, mm:
  • Ajamaton B207R moottori Wössnerin ajetuilla männillä.
  • MapTun TD04 19t/XT-ahdin, huollettu
  • Teräspunokset ahtimelle
  • Kova kytkin (MapTun)
  • Vaikka ja mitä muuta tekniikan nollaamiseen, iso pumppu, suuttimet, jne.
Yllämainittuja ei myydä erikseen, jollei auto lähde ennen niitä uuteen kotiin. Ilmoituksen hinta ekan kuvan 18" SAAB ALU65:t alla. Omilla vanteilla (minimi 16") voi myös hakea, saadaan vaihdettua helposti alle. Kuvien OZ Racingit voi ostaa mukaan, ne ovat eri jaolla. Vaihdossa käy ainoastaan facelift-kolkki, mieluiten aut+avo. Polttoaineella ei väliä kummalla kulkee, kunhan on siisti ja huoleton peli.
