GTO - good choice :p To be honest though I don't think the 80's was a good decade cars. 60's 70's and 90's all produced great cars. Sadly I don't think we are going to see times like that again as now companies are just producing generic cars that have to meet too many...

0 accidents (crashes with me driving) was involved in 1 where I was passenger I have bumped a wall with the towbar a couple of times (going about 0.2 mph so no damage/marks etc) So not done too bad (Touch Wood :p)

I get asked all the time "Why have that car when you could get a little car that's cheaper to run?"

hmm...surely this is easily tracked though isn't it? I'm guessing he makes a new fake paypal account so that isn't traceable, but surely the bank account attached to the paypal is in somebody's name? this plus the messages that you have saved making the arrangements..... but then again after all...

Good Car choice :p

Going to sound stupid here but I can't see where the OBVIOUS scam is...obviously when the guy offers to pay full price straight away then that would make me wonder but am I not seeing something obvious?

I don't know mine at the minute as I haven't had it checked yet...I think standard it had 285BHP, it's had minor mods like exhaust and air intake system so I'd like to think it's sitting at around 300BHP but as it's 23 years old it's probably lost a few. but I haven't started on the upgrades yet :p

Yeah I'm learning a bit from owning this car...at first I didn't even want to touch the engine but I'm getting more comfortable with having a little mess with things and trying do a few things myself. Also these forums are helpful and good for getting advice

I would like to be able to do all the work myself but I'm no mechanic so unfortunately I have to fork out for others to do most of it

Gtr

It all depends on whether you enjoy driving the car enough to justify the money spent. If I didn't spend my money on my car then I would probably waste it on other things....at least with a nice car you have something to show for your money

Cat B - 1st Time Cat 1 - 2nd Time (maybe even 3rd time, can't remember) Cat C+E - 1st Time Cat H - 1st Time

Some good photography there...and very nice cars. Although I have to say the VW does intrude on the pics a little bit :p

Nice car...can you provide some info? How long you had it? What's been done to it and any plans?

must be the case with all Mitsubishi cars

yes they are....but they are a nightmare to own...especially if you're not a mechanic :p

Hugo you missed out GTO's :p

was looking at different cars online and came across the RX8's being advertised for really low money...It seems that you can pick up a good condition, leather interior with different added extras for under £4000 and they are only a few years old Now I'm a fan of the RX7 but don't think much...

Mustang Fastback by far then followed by the GT40

Did anybody else think the Pagani was just a Zonda made more ugly? :p The wing mirrors looked like leaves on branches...really didn't like it But I did like the P45 :p

I think from memory mine are 235/35 front and 265/35 rear

Welcome. The main thing to think about with the GTOis cost. They are cheaper to buy than supras, skylines and some rx7's. But I think they cost more to run and maintain. The main thing to look at before purchasing one is to make sure the car has been well looked after. I didn't do this and I'm...

that's not good. I think older cars have much more character. Too many modern cars have the same generic look and have to meet today's regulations and standards. I think the 60's produced the best cars

No mate...the convertible was just my daily drive and a nice car for the summer, I made no mods. I couldn't be bothered to advertise it anywhere. There were just a few friends and people i met who were interested in taking it but I wasn't to enthusiastic about getting rid. But now it's come to...

Most people say that before you add power...upgrade the brakes, especially with the GTO as they are so big and heavy :p I keep hearing that the best things to do to get you started are induction kits, Downpipe and Cat back exhausts. Apparently the original ECU's in GTO's are not Re-mappable...

The hood is rotten so I've had a new one imported last year but never got it fitted as there's a knock on the engine that I wanted to get sorted but never got round to. they both just sat on the drive for 2 years and I need to get rid so they are going to the scrap yard I think. Well the red one...

This all looks very impressive...and I'm very jealous! About the looks...I like it, the only thing I can pick at is that from back to front 90% of the car looks like a sleek sports car, but the very front of the car has a hint of muscle car in it I think. Don't get me wrong I like the car, just...

Thanks. I like Celica's too, just got rid of one of mine and got to get rid of my other in the next few weeks

aha...thanks for that

I'll test it here then

OK so I've uploaded my first few random pics of the GTO. Most of them are before any work has been done and aren't very good pictures but gives you an idea of what the car is like. I don't know yet how to post pics in the forums so they have been uploaded to my profile/gallery. are they...

When was the first project finished? I would like to see the results if you have pics

I don't know how many people will agree with my advice here but I think that you shouldn't go mad on this car...if you are young and this is your first car then I'm sure the insurance isn't great and there is a good chance that you wont want to stick with this car in the long run. just enjoy...

Very nice engine bay

I left my 2 celicas for a long time sat on driveway. Now I've had to send one away to the Scrapman. I don't want to send the other but I fear i may have to :(

Welcome to TC...always good to have more GTO owners :p

Depends if you plan on tuning it really. The ECU will need replacing with one that you can get re-mapped as I've read that the original ECU can't be re-mapped

So I started the Insurance shopping today and was looking into different ways of lowering premiums. I am getting a Cobra security system installed soon and was also considering putting a tracker on too. But adding a tracker to the insurance quote didn't seem to lower the premium much at all...

Hi. I Purchased a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo this year. Mine is a a Mk 1 1991 because I think they look better and I wanted to put it on classic car insurance. I think the best advice I can give you is to check as much as you can before you buy it. I was won over by the custom leather interior...
