I've been getting a knocking noise when going over rough roads. I thought it was the tires just being old, but those just got replaced on the NY trip, so it could be the sway-bar linkage or control arm bushings. I've got a friend with a lift, so in a week or two I'll be able to get it up and have a go at it. Until then, I'm wary of stressing it too much.

Great to hear your going for the upgrade. You won't be sorry. I see good R53S come up in the community paper every other month. Teddy in Cincy just found a R52S with only 4k mi up in Akron.

Wow, 4k? Any thing to look out for in the older ones? I'm going to be looking around $6-7000.

Read through the posts on this thread concerning the first gen cars. It's all current stuff.

Look for an 05 or 06. When you find one and your checking it over, if you see something your not sure about call one of us to double check. If it's up this way I''l try to go with you.
