Post by blueorb »

Finally done it !! :clown:

Got myself a rev 2 black gt turbo tin top. 22,000miles 1 owner from new, full Jap service history, grade 4 minter!!!

It came in at just under £4,500 imported, registerd and taxed. Speedo conversion is extra though.

Should be with me in the next 5 weeks or so........huray for me :D :D :D

congrats =D> =D> =D>

Give it a month, or two, then start tinkering with the engine.

As said above, take it easy at first and learn how the car handles.

Have you posted pics in the gallery yet?

Are these cars really that bad to drive? or is it just wet weather?

Just drive like a granny in the wet and you'll be fine.

Obviously take care in the dry too, but:

DRIVE LIKE A GRANNY IN THE WET!!!!

So can I cane it in the dry with good tyres? or are they still dodgy?

Are they ok in strait lines?

Mate, just use your common sense and you'll be fine. The car is only as dangerous as the guy driving it.
