Hi and welcome to the forum.

If the previous owner's address isn't on the logbook, go on to the DVLA site and request a list of previous owners.

 

Greetings and Welcome to our TorqueCars Forum my Friend!
Good to have you along with us

 

thanks for the welcome and Thanks for the reply old-git ,I know most of its time was spent around Edenburgh but would love to find out some more about its history,,, it's a cracking wee car with lots of £££ spent on it and was hoping someone on here had seen it before,, thanks again for the reply buddy think that's the road I'll go down then ,

 

Thanks t9 it's a pleasure to be here

 

Howdo. Only sure way to find out if it's been tuned is to stick it on a rolling road.

Is this your first hot hatch? I'm not meaning to talk down to you but if you've not driven something like the 180, or clio 182, they can feel very fast especially when the vvt kicks in at high revs.

Cheers

 

Cheers yugguy , I was thinkin that buddy, no m8 haven't had the pleasure of driving the 182 as is it seems to be a very quick car, I used to own a Saab 2lt turbo that was fairly quick that had 185 bhp and more than enough torque , but anyway back to the point lol yeah I'm sure there are some things I could do to find out but would be great to find an old owner on a site like this and hear from the horses mouth about any mods / timing belt ect....thanks everyone for the replys
