Not a lot.... Its owned by the owner of the garage who seems like a nice guy.

I would want to understand fully what has been done to achieve 550bhp.

Usual inspection required, paintwork, suspension, turbos, rads, rev ranges, gearbox, PCCB.

Good luck, it looks lovely (bar the tints)

I am with Lee on this.
Why anybody would want to up the performance though to 550 on one of these is beyond me.
They are pretty mad performance wise anyway.

Personally though i would prefer standard colour wheels and no daft tints.

Just like any car, after while you get used to it and fancy some more power. I upped mine first to 550bhp, then later to 630bhp. It's only the exponential increases in costs to get more power that stopped me going further.

Perhaps when you have had it a little longer, you may realise..

Car looks very nice, without the tints..

Paul Langley has run the Manor Garage for years and years and has a decent reputation locally (AFAIK), so that's not a bad start. Don't know anything about the car though.

All these pm's floating around, makes it sound as though there's something wrong with it. This seems to be the case with pretty much every GT2 thread on here....are there any straight cars available?

Very few straight cars for sale according to my GT2 register - most people with good clean cars are holding onto them. Lets not forget, there are only 105 from 129 UK cars remaining including those with accident damage.

Wini - I have just sent you an e-mail in regards to most of the cars under £50k.

Evening SuperMono,

Yep, I had your car details on the register.
I will hopefully get the register posted online at some point.
How is the GT2?

Hi Winston,

I serviced the car last; at OPC Swindon - it's a nice straight car from my experience. I had all the arch liners / trays and brakes off and gave the car a thorough inspection for Paul who had just bought the car, no accident damage. The suspension was refreshed at the same time.

After it left me it went to JZM for a set of cup plates in the LSD and a further wheel alignment check was carried out.

The car looks stunning IMHO - good money when compared to the one @ PC Swindon at the moment too.

GT2's excellent thanks but house move is making no time for driving it! Also new driveway has pinch point just a couple of inches wider than the car so a bit stressful getting it through.

Well mine is dead straight, inspections will filter out any that have had panels or damage.
Also if its a low owner car it is easy to ascertain this info.

Just to clarify - I was speaking about the cars currently for sale under £50k.

Phenominal car fella, really enjoying it, demands bloody concentration though and attracts the rozzers!!
Surprisingly good on fuel also for such a fast car, i'm obviously not driving it hard enough!!
