    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 lol

    Just saw that the FC is now sold. Did you go for it in the end man? If so enjoy the sheer rotaryness of it all, and all the fun that comes with

    Drift only and maybe a few trackdays.Nearly a shame its really clean with only 86,000km's on it.

    Ye,picked it up from waterford today.Seems mint.There is a good tight diff in her and it pulls really hard.Only thing is it needs a clutch.Are they handy enough to do on the fc??Looks straightforward.I need to do it before next sundays drift day.

    Sounds the job, they rev real smooth.Almost sound like an n/a.
    Once the engine holds out i will be happy.

    Thats what had me in two minds.I've been looking for a tramper for months and couldn't find anything.
    This is very clean and engine seems sweet.

    Even if the engines are rebuilt, it wouldnt be uncommon for them to just go boom!

    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
