Is that going to be any quicker than a standard GPX? i'd imagine with the mileage it may be a bit painfull ... perhaps buy it and sell me the Turbo kit for it :)

Unique FTO to own. Looks like a nice car on the face off it.

However the big problem as I see it is that it wouldn't be any quicker than a GPX manual - and thats presuming there aren't any issues with this aftermarket turbo (set-up, fueling etc).

Rusty - The GS turbo wouldn't be of any use to you for the Mivec 2litre V6.

Yeh thought as much......
I really need to get my cars front end sorted.... its a piss take at this stage.
Really need someone in the know to look at it.... tell me what to buy and i'll buy it!!

Front left wheel is rubbing badly off the arch liners but something else is wrong which makes the car feel.... welll.... horrible!!!

Any takers on having a look at it and giving your two cents?

Did DTAS not say anything when you had it aligned and setup that last time?

(Maybe a split thread for this?)
