Cambelt immediately springs to mind...make sure you have proof it has been done recently or are prepared to shell out for it yourself when yoou buy one!

Try to get one with Q2... If it doesn't have it, budget £1,500 to have it fitted when the standard diff breaks.

There are two disc sizes, early cars have 305mm later cars have 330mm. The smaller ones are prone to warp, although mine haven't but I am careful with them and with uprated pads they are more than adiquate.

The front wings are prone to rust so check them carefully.

Lovely things GTA's, fantastic engine, sublime styling, gorgeous interior, oodles of grip, not enough suspension travel though. Have a look for the HBE suspension it's supposed to sort it out.

They are beautiful and brilliant if you find a good example, I had one of the best and so wish I hadn't sold it.
