Morning all,
Bought myself a project 4200 for not a lot - eBay non reserve
RX53UUA or previous M444SRA.
Does anyone know the car?
I seem to sort of recognise the previous private plate.
anyway bought as a non runner as wouldn’t start with gearbox light on.
After a bit of diagnostics (no scanner just using logic!) and a used clutch release bearing with f1 sensor I got the fault cleared and started the car.
Then went onto fit the used f1 / clutch sensor through a hole in the bellhousing so wasn’t actually that bad apart from dropping the exhaust out the way.
Plan to improve it as interior is a sticky mess, heater matrix (again) and oil leaks (front cover maybe or just overfilled will oil)
Service it and check brakes as inside discs are rusty so probably pads seized in calipers
Then join some mates on track with their lotus exige (yes I know this is pretty far removed from a track weapon but will fun)
Few pics
