Yeah I know that's an option. I'd just prefer a car with some UK providence and the basic things already done.
If it helps mine was a fresh grade 4 import. Lad i got it from only had it a few months, then bought a MK2 FRS. Soon as it landed he fitted new discs, pads and Goodridge hoses. Gates kevlar timing belt, new rollers and tensioner, Whiteline f+r roll bars, Ultra Racing strut braces with set up.Then had Prodrive sports cat, stainless mid section and Bob Rawle remap.
He spent all that money then wanted a change. It has all the mods done to it that i would have done to a new import, i just saved quite a bit by buying it already done
And here it sits all week first world problem having multiple vehicles !

Well I can solve that 1st world problem if it ever becomes too much
thanks for the offer, but for the little amount I use it, I'm not sure if I'd ever sell. don't think I'd find another one as nice as this. if it wasn't this sat in the garage, it would only be something else ! bonesX said:

How do find the rotational balance with that bar combo? (over/understeer)
I run a 24 rear on middle setting and 99% of the time is fine with a slight balance towards provokeable oversteer. Was considering beefing up the front bar
Truthfully ? Couldn't say. I have not driven it in anger yet. Done less than 1k miles in it this year, including 200 mile trip home when i collected it ! Straight line speed shows over 160mph on the clocks. Handling is quite firm. The only other time i have been out in it, i've had the wife or daughter in it and they dont like fast driving waiting for some good weather and a weekend alone
Going to have the wheels refurbed slightly darker than standard and maybe swap the PF pads that are on as they dont feel right. Maybe need more heat in them to bring the best out of them because initial bite isn't that great.

Bones - you'll find if you beef up the front, the car will tend towards neutral/understeer depending on how beefy you're talking? If you like how it is now, I'd suggest, with an uprated front bar for the 'soft' setting up front, and going for the tight setting in the back, keeping the balance somewhere rear of centre. Your mileage, naturally may vary.
I too will be in the wheel refurb business soon - I'm a bit bored of looking at black black BLAAAAAAACK all the time, so quite fancy going for 'shadow chrome' on the wheels
Something like this, or slightly darker would be perfect. Reckon it would work on the white as well.

Yes, he put a slightly different shade of 'silver' on - had more flecks in to catch the sun)

Picking it up on Friday. Excited. No doubt I will be plaguing you fellas for advice. Car was imported two years ago by a 62 year old guy who has done about 3000 miles in it since but serviced it three times anyway. Bodes well I hope. Wish me luck.
