I can't see this car being around for long tbh, if you don't buy it, it;ll probably be gone pretty quick imo.


Loan/insurance is being sorted tomorrow (and that's just for the spare underwear!)

I do not intend to wait a second longer to own this than I have to!

Pictures in profile shortly.

Can anyone think of a reason I shouldn't buy it?



Because I'll be very jealous!

Sounds like a real good 'un....any pics?


Pic (from autotrader) now in profile.

In my earlier review I forgot to mention the lack of Toyota badge on the front. It is the original bumper, just debaged. You can see a slight ripple where the heat gun was applied.

The seller claims he is not responsible. I'll just draw one on there in biro.

It is for me! He doesn't know it yet but I won't waste much time before I call him.

I'd like to get a ride out in one more 'good-un' to make sure I'm not being wowwed by an example that's actually only pumping 80%. Honestly can't see it though!

May try Japsports tomorrow AM. He still hasn't got his back from the MOT centre as he's been closed a couple of days this week.

There's no doubt in my mind though, I'm buying this car!

Phuck'em, get the red one- then start modifying it!


As you bent my arm...

Insurance now ready bar a couple more quotes, just to make sure this is cheapest (at £620 FC inc mods I doubt they'll be beaten!), loan applied for. I'll arrange collection once the loan arrives.

It feels like Christmas!

Current mods (already on the car):

*2x extra strut braces, 1 front 1 rear
*Aftermarket ECU
*Aftermarket induction kit and airbox/mass meter

Future mods:

We'll see what she needs on the next japchat rolling road!

Bell. I tried a ton of brokers and they're all £900 up to £2k!

Bell is F/C, £350 excess, 1,000 miles of business use!

I had to call them up to check they weren't playing a cruel trick! What a difference a year makes!

Not yet! One final hurdle to cross + delivery.

Gaz/MrF cheers for the mail! You guys are worth more than gold to the used MRT buyer!

YHM again btw, but nothing important.
