Gear Linkage went at 65,000 - not expensive to fix £200.
Tends to wonder on uneven roads - probably the wide wheels though!
Japanese import and so the speedo only reads to 100mph* which isn't very useful.
*on a private test track of course :)
Being only 23 years old and owning more or less a super car which has cost £4,000 to buy and £900 to insure fully comp must be the cheapest and most affordable speed under £5,000. It frequently anialates so called German sports cars and is a pretty good street sleeper/q car. Before owning it I had piled money into a hot hatch with total engine swap and modification - what a waste of money! get an MR2 Turbo and feel real cheap power that flings a huge V at anything else on the road!
I was just wondering what insurance company the 23 year old used? Is there a was to reach him? simonbell79@yahoo.co.uk.
Most UK insurers will not insure anyone under 25 on any car of this nature for any money.
Quite a number are now refusing to insure anyone under 21 to drive anything, mainly because 85% of newly qualified drivers write off a car within 6 months of passing their test.
Some companies will, I'm 20 and I got a quote for the MR2 turbo for £1000, not bad at all I thought! And that with 3 points for speeding!

I wrote the mega long thread about the SW20, MR2 Turbo.
I'm now 26 and only pay £568 a year, this is with Noel Dazely.
I'm after a RX7 next :D.
The tubby has been great and I have been using it to whizz up and down the M1 on a regular basis.
Just remember to get some good rubber, I'm running T1-R's and the performance differs a great deal. More stable at 90mph +
