here's the pic of my $1300 fc...wadaya think?

 

reminds me of mine..
but mine was $1200 CDN
so far i've had to do:
Belts- $22
Clutch- $600
Caliper- $125
Motor Mount- $175
little odd and ends- $150

still feels worth it to me for now..

 

damn my stereo cost more than that

 

mmm like the phone dials

 

the phone dials actually look decent like that.

 

yeah i painted them black rattlwe can style. the car runs great now after i tuned it up thanks to your help.... here's a pic of the rear

 

nice, mine was 800 (in My avatar) it's ugly, but it runs decent

 

here's another shot...the rear didn't work.......notice the full body kit

 

i got mine for £600 ( GBP )

Not sure what that is in dollars ??

 

About $1000.


You got a hell of a deal. Did you have to replace anything major on that car? Over here in the States, a S5 TII like that would go for $4000-6500, which I suppose is about 2500-5000 pounds.

Lucky limey.

 

the car is fine - its done 105K miles and had a rebuild by mazda at 65K - 70K and its FSH

only think to replace was the HT leads which were £60 - say about $100

 

Geez grinder that is one clean TII. That is probally the best deal I've seen. If only all TIIs that nice could go for 1k.

 

I actually got my car for $200 US, about 3 years ago. I havn't had to do any major work to it, except the power steering rack, and a good chunk of body work. The people thought the motor was blown, when it was only flooded out and somebody switched the spark plug cables around. Straightened them out, and rolled the car off about 5 times, and I've been driving it ever since. I'll try and post some pics of it soon enough, you would never guess I got it for $200. I've already been offered much more than that for it several times now.

 

Good looking car for 1300.00!!

Take care of it bro.

 

That nice for 1300, but i got mine for FREE

 

cool nice its a GTU tho huh ? cuz thats a gtu front bumper

 

Umm nooooo.
There is no such thing as a GTU bumper.

I have a 88 GTU. It has 5 lugs instead of this one which has the phone dials.

The GTU has 4 piston front brakes and this one (most likely an SE) has single pistons.

Also The GTU has power sunroof/power mirrors and manual windows and TII suspension.

That's an aftermarket bumper. I can't remember who makes them. Maybe Border/or replica

At the bottom there is a pics of my Red SE and Black GTU next to each other.
