Better than rx8 anyway, didn't you do research on them


Ok 220 like yours
lol! Nah nothings bullet proof. And I did a months research, but there was nowhere to do a compression test,and being 1 of 100 I had to pounce and take the risk. Ill live, had the experience of one and id reccomend an RX8 to anybody who wants a superior handling car. Just buy a broken one and rebuild it lmao!

My budgets £2500 now, originally idve sold my RX8 for 3.5k and had another 1k ontop of it, but the engine failed a few days ago, which is gutting.

When i went to school that was under £700 and the prices are right aswell
You do realise the 16g turbos you see for 100 quid need to have a different cover as well?
If you have to buy this, it will set you back about 60-70 quid including postage.

Not disputing that they are cheap, but something to take into account. I'll be running a 16g on my own bug when it's ready, and for the money they're cracking turbo's IMO.

You'll also need to add a fuel pump and a decat up-pipe into the price, plus definitely 30 or so quid worth of exhaust gaskets on an 11-12 year old car.
