Also, I've just been told it has a vibration and juddering under acceleration, and that the cv cups need swapping over?

Is this legitimate or an indication of something more serious? Thanks

Given the history and apparently lack of any enthusiastic care, unless you've got a few quid to throw at this, I would walk away.

It just sounds like it hasn't been looked after and inevitably will need a work. If you've got time and money fair enough.

Both arch's could be costly as Silverstone is hard to colour match so you'd need a good bodyshop. Depending on how much work you put into it you might touch it up without noticing it from a distance if not highlighted with lighting.

Legit but shows that it has spent some of its life lowered quiet a bit, its fine as long as it hasn't been already been swapped lol.

Not necessarily - swapped the cups at 90k or so on one of my old S2000's which had never been lowered and it made a huge positive difference despite what was really minimal wear in the cups.

I'll be doing my latest S2000 soon given it's done over 110k and has a slight vibration on acceleration

Hi folks,

Again thanks for the many replies, this is the sign of a helpful community which is priceless.

Went to see the car today, and yep the paintwork is horrendous, rear arch bubbling on one side is very bad, other side is clean.

Front bumper is aftermarket fiberglass but I'd be putting an oem on anyway.

Couple of rips in the seats too, how hard are these to repair?

But mechanically it is sound and has full service history although it's due an mot. Looks like it's had a hard couple of years but was maintenened well before that.

I don't have money to throw at it, but I think apart from the arch I can give everything a go myself with time, I have friends that detail etc so shouldn't be too hard to get it looking good..

But yeah it needs some tickets but nothing serious I could see. I tried to check underneath, the front looks in good condition, even has some research bushes inserted in the front wishbones which would suggest these have been changed and not seized, anyone know anything red aftermarket bushes? The rear underneath was oem untouched and looked a bit rusty but all surface and should clean up nice with some elbow grease.
