I didn\'t want to name names, lol..

I also don\'t want to waste my time traveling around the country just to look at cars, i am trying to get myself in a position where i am financially safe both for the purchase and running costs of the car. (I managed to run up a substantial credit card bill on holiday in the states). I\'ve now cleared that mess so within the next few weeks i will be in a strong position to start looking at cars with a view to buy.

What i don\'t want to be doing is buying a car that cripples me financially as although cars are quite a big part of my life, they aren\'t very important in the eyes of my girlfriend so i need to make sure i can take her on holiday, etc a couple times a year as well.

Thanks for your input so far

If you\'re passing by london you can give my FD a go to get an idea.

It has flat rail recaros in the front and it will give you the proper impression how an FD should be. Minus the body work though, the car needs to go to a body shop but you\'ll definatly be able to see how an FD should be (performance + handling wise)

I\'m not selling mine yet though

I\'m at heathrow tomorrow and wednesday if your around, haha!

[Joeh]

Wednesday is fine

You got fully comp?

[T11MNM]

i wouldn\'t expect to drive it, a look around and a passenger ride would suffice..

Ideally i would of liked to have been making tracks back up north wednesday afternoon. Is tomorrow evening out of the question?

all i can say is it has a veilside bodykit on which is not very desireable.
car will need respraying to return it to standard spec so have allowed for this in the price and is going to an enthusiast where it will be looked after not stuffed into a wall lol.
yes he is getting a bargain but saves me hassle of tyrekickers/joyriders lol

[Joeh]

I\'m sure we can arrange something tomorrow, sure

Shocking really that they expect that amount of money for a car that sounds obviously shagged...
 
Unfortunately I wouldn\'t look at these cars and try to budget...you have to spend the money when you need to spend the money and try not to cut any corners as in the long run...well it\'s pretty obvious.
 
Like it\'s been said, if you can afford it go for a single turbo (the safest bet being an enthusiast owned car)...not for the bonus power figs you get but for the reliability and absence of the RATS NEST :2Confused....
 
Not trying to sell my car here, I just adore RX-7\'s and passing on the advice I got when I bought mine which I can see has saved me in the long run :wave
