Re: tempting to bid/buy on this........ (yhooo jap via jdm garage)

Yes even asked them for cost (tax,insurance of shiping,shippping and so on) works out under 3.5k for the mk2 if I remember right So you think that a Rev1/2 turbo sells in bits for more than 3500? A hell of a lot of time and effort for a small profit, if any... sorry it works out at £2771.9 plus cos...
