Not sure where to start really. Jap or Uk. Manual/Auto. Any recomended dealler. what are the important factors to consider when buying one. Iam mainly concerned with the reliabilty of the cars.

 

how much to replace the turbos if they blow

 

Any views would be Brill.

 

Cheers

Jap or UK - comes mainly down to personal preference & whats available. UK will be cheaper on insurance but theres more imports around. spec wise they can vary slightly UK is more likely to have leather interior.

 

Auto or Manual - really, dont ask this question on here!!! starts wars!! :slap: (but get a manual ;) :D )

 

mine has been very reliable, some have not, it can really just be the luck of the draw on cars of this age. just look out for clean ones with good SH, avoid dogs. its not worth saving £1k on a tatty one thinking you will do it up!

 

turbos - you can get a pair of Hybrids for just over £1k from Smithy + fitting

 

they are top fun tho :hyper:

ive only just bought mine and had it 4 weeks now and is fantasic i asked on here about auto or manual as i dident realy know what to get.

in the end a auto came up for sale and i bought it. ive had a auto before but not a turbo auto.

i love it.i still would love it to be manual but its finding these cars at a right price. i paid 4k for mine and its a jap import with 18" chrome rims and lots of servies history from japan mint body work so i got a bargin

dont let a auto put you of they are very fast and easy to drive in towns or city

There's a few for sale on here and at a decent price, check out the for sale section
