Very nice, looks well looked after.

I'd love one if I could afford the insurance. Not too keen on the wheels to be honest, but what's the spec.?

[Tubb]

This ones fairly standard - uprated suspension, exhaust, alloys, dump valve and a few other little bits.
I wasnt keen on the wheels to start with but have grown to like them a bit more now.
Insurance isnt too bad, im only 20

[FLD_WILLIS]

I would've thought they'd be a killer for insurance. I'm 23, think it's about time I got a quote for one.

[Tubb]

they're insurance group 20 i think, and being an import doesn't help.
I paid less than 1k though

[grim_d]

Looks great, amazing underrated cars.

I may be a bit biased though, have deposit on one and will be getting it in a few weeks, can't wait.

I'm 23 and managed to get insurance for about £750, I was happy with that!

[RickIV]

Looks really nice that, i had one of these a few years back - ballistic in a straight line but the brakes were terrible so take care. Handling is understeer biased but you can improve things with a stiffer rear ARB.

Chuff me, that's a great deal, however you did that. Mind you, I suppose you have a nice safe postcode too.

Cheeky beggar.

That is good, at 21 i had a 300 BHP Audi TT, all declared, fully comp with a very good Cheshire post code and didnt get change from 3k, so for a Jap import rocket............

That's incredible, who are you insured with?

Love the GTiR by the way, although I'm not keen on the wheels either.

Do you plan on doing any more to the car? If so, please please please upgrade the brakes first. The standard setup is pathetic.

I didnt, and almost didnt live to tell the tale :O

I may do a few mods in the summer but i wont be aiming for silly power.
Ive already replaced the front discs and pads with upgraded items as the originals were metal to metal. Great improvement already.

[grim_d]

What discs are you using? saw them on the OC, I need new brakes all round but not sure what discs to get.

Cheers

Nice car, always had a huge soft spot for them.

Loved your work in Miami Vice btw

[Ecurie Ecosse]

Nice car, and I like the wheels, very stealth!

Thankyou, not sure I understand the Miami Vice comment though?

I ended up going for some brembo solid discs up front with tarox fast road pads and standard items on the rear, will do for now.

They are good fun in the snow tho!
