That would explain why it wasnt there when I clocked the link reading through. Id go for the red gt0 at the top, same price as I could get selling the C2 privately as well, wouldnt like to think what the insurance would be like though haha

Ive had a 3000GTO before - not long enough to develop a good opinion on it - parts were too expensive, and it wasnt well put together.

Also I hear its like driving a Cathedral, the mr2 fortunately is not 8)

I have never understood the appeal of the GTO 3000GT or whatever, bloody huge heavy beasts :)

Got it.

In pretty good nick - rear tyres getting replaced tomorrow.

One problem only - I think the diff is a bit noisy - it is a limited slip diff though so Im hoping its behaving the same as one on lorries - where it sounds like its dragging the wheels a little on a SLOW speed turn (as in under 5 mph)

Ill get pix up tomorrow.

Several changes to make:

(i)  Bigger seats! Bucket seats in it and theyre too wee.

(ii) New tyres - tomorrow

(iii) Change front bumper to standard

(iv) adjust suspension - its so hard i think ive lost my filling - it has fully adjustables

(v) get sun visor!!

Man the thing goes like a train now with the new conti sport contacts on the back and bridgestone potenzas on the front. The diff still sounds like a bag of nails, but seeing as how its an LSD thats (I hope) normal.

The diff on my sunbeam is louder.

Pix to come this evening/tomorrow morning!
