Hey guys,

Lately i've been frustrated about my car, mostly because of the lack of grip this time a year and the stopping power. I was already searching for ways to deal with this. Wider rims/tyres, LSD and BigBrake kit.

But this wouldn't get me anywhere if a break the 300bhp barrier. I took my ride for a spin the other day(very wet) and couldn't keep traction untill 4th gear.

Since a week or 2 there's a completly bonestock red '96 ST205 for sale here with leather interior, ABS, Airco, double airbags etc. With my car sold it wouldn't be much more to buy it. Would be fabulous to drive around corners and grip wouldn't be an issue.

What would you guys do?

Deal is off, didn't even go to the garage to see the four. They clearly stated in the ads the asking price couldn't be lowered. But I could already tell from the pictures the radiator was bad (very light brown/yellow). It had done 110.000 km so the SS supension would be going out any time soon and that would be a minimal of 1500 euro in parts.

So I told them I only want to see/drive the car if the price could be lowered, and they said no. So this saved me a 200 mile trip. Who knows what else could be wrong with the car. The car was imported on 3rd of januari and already on local ebay 6 days after. Its a pure import-rare-car-and-sell-it-for-big-bucks thing.
