I Ilke it, you can see where the money's gone. I bet it's a hoot to dive, but would I spend that much on it...? Not sure: it's the seats for me, that's a green step to far!

lovely colour, needs black or yellow/tan seats.

also that induction setup is appalling given how much trouble has been taken to transplant the engine.

Agree on the colour of the seats...has anyone been to see it as on the face of it it looks like a well put together thing.....

For such a cheap price it looks amazing.

Good wheels, good engine, good brakes, coupe, manual, what's not to like!

There are no decent manual, standardishncoupes for sale in mint condition.

IMO the car's that will hold and increase in value will be sensible miles FSH and original spec car's,because they do seem harder to find now with so many been mucked about with.......!




But I would say that............ Fingers crossed........!

Well that's me snookered then as the Tardis falls short on two of the three.

Don't be a dick. There are loads that have had more work than that. My old one, as a first example.

Must say that I love this! Great colour, quality engine swap, BBK & coilovers. If I had £9k going spare I'd go for it. I'd just just take it a few steps further with a half cage, decent seats and maybe some aero mods.

Meanwhile, my own Japanese spec (same as Euro spec) 3.0 is coming along. I've added BBS RX's as I didn't like the RK's it came on. Fitted BC coilovers and a Stoptech ST40 front BBK. Left to do is to fit the oil restrictor, poly RTAB's and nicer alcantara clad steering wheel. I've done lots of maintenance with a battery, alternator, carbon canister, service etc. now have some minor leaks to sort out. Longer term I'd love a beefier front ARB, semi slick tyres, bucket seats (some lovely Corbeau track day specific ones with hard backs), quicker steering rack and GT front splitter. Possibly even a carbon airbox one day. Hoping to get the restrictor valve fitted at Christmas and then do some track days! Will post up some pics tomorrow as I'm hoping to take it for a drive.

Maybe a handful, mostly japanese imports. Not very bling so doesn't get much attention.
