Hello all,
I've just moved from an RX8 that I loved (and is now unfortunately departed), to an SIII. I had a 2.7 V6 coupe some time ago, so I was keen to get back to the car. :D
The SIII done 60k miles, and has just had the cam belt and clutch done. Being red, the lacquer is peeling off in places, so I'm going to get that done. One of the aux belts squeals on full lock, so I need to tighten that a bit... hopefully that's all it is.
Any tips on the car, or anything to look out for to head off before it becomes (such as areas that rust, bits that fall off etc), please let me know what to look out for.
I wrote a few DIYs for the RX8 club, so if I do anything exciting to this one, I'll be sure to post it up!

Welcome to the club, for the belt squeal make sure you check the alternator belt aswell as the ps belt.
Brake calipers on the coupe are floating type so sliders are prone to seizing up, handbrake cables are also prone to stretching.
