i no the car,and no the previouse owner,,hes a mechainc and a fussy fucker...anything he has is always keeped well!!
Trixta's! 5k its pretty sweet! just need a good dogin!:)
Twinkles the one in question is 1500 notes.
In fairness it does seem a very good buy. What would be your plans for the car? If for the road it is worth considering that the VRT will be roughly E1600, and then you have to worry about a NCT etc. But they are a great car. About 200bhp standard if a series 5. But pretty heavy on petrol lolQuote:

FCs are a great car, they can look serious, mine was pretty stock and i gave it a good raging had the essentials for drifitn and probably one of the most fun cars i have had and they sound unreeeeeeeeeeal
Drift only and maybe a few trackdays.Nearly a shame its really clean with only 86,000km's on it.Quote:

Even if the engines are rebuilt, it wouldnt be uncommon for them to just go boom!
What can you do if it goes it goes, same with anything really.Quote:

Yeah there cool as fuck and sound class!
engine shouldn just go boom
if they are rebuilt properly then there are zero problems
I have 3 and a 20b cosmo with no probs, also 13b in the ae86
if the engine blows it would cost 2.5k for a rebulid from us thats without rotors and rotor housings as u dont no if they hav to be replaced until u take it apart
thats for nothing considering i could put out 600hp with the right add ons, show me a piston engine that you can rebuild for that money and capable of that power
What did u pay for it in the end if u dont mind me askin
i have a minter here for sale cheap vrt'd n all Jap
hahah mine was n/a! still had serious fun with it!! :DQuote:

I'm actually hoping to take some new pics with a seriously improved stance next weekend, and I'll take some vids to show the sound too. :cool:Quote:

My 4AGEs actually caused me more problems ha :D
Bang on,2 cars Ive always wanted but am afraid of my shite to buy them,FD and an STi coupe,For years Ive wanted them and just cant chance it!:(Quote:

The same can be said for any engine that's been re built by a numpty !.Quote:

They need to be approached differently than your usual engines so do your research first and you should be fine.
I was skeptical at first but Im now a big fan of rotaries and especially the FC chassis. I believe you could have a seriously competitive FC for a lot less than an S body, especially when you consider Darren's prices on an engine build capable of big power .
Plus it will drown out every other car on the track and sound amazing, win win !
Has your missus had any problems with her fc??Quote:
