Thanks for that mate, its a 6 speed sport and it is having a 85k service tomorrow with 4 new rubbers and brakes replaced all round. he has had problems with shockes on the rear though, but presume they will bring that up on the service. he only wants 4.5k for it (he is a mate)....see i do have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D8MOA Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 is he using lexus parts? only we have had problems with pattern brakes and filters before. 4.5k is a very good price for a sport. if it is slow for you and you dont mind spending £1800 then a TTE supercharger kit would be the way forward. if you want to drive one my friend has a supercharged one.
