Are they ok in strait lines?


Up to you really. I guess you could but straightline stuff gets boring pretty quickly. They will be okay in a straightline, but what isn't?

come to elv in september and get some tuition, that ought to help.

Sounds like a good deal! Should be criminal to have a car for over 10 years and only do 22k miles!!

If it does go plop, I'll have to put me scuba gear on and get down there for a bit of treasure hunting! :lol:

There's a sunken ship in the channel somewhere that is full of range rovers. Allegedly, divers routinely go there to pick up spares!

I used Topspec.

http://www.topspec-imports.com/jap_contact_us.htm

They were reccomended by several users off the Toyota o.c site. Also, they were the most reasonable regarding price.

So far they have been great.

congratulations =D> - you will love the acceleration when you 1st get the car but be prepared for the 6 month stage when the car goes and runs away with your wallet for all new shiny bits to make it even quicker 8-[ it seems to have happened to everyone.
As everone has said be carefull in the wet - i wrote my 1st car off in the wet when i swerved having been cut up.....i can testify to the back end happiness - i spun about 3 times before hitting a barrier and i was going slowly. It really is just a case of being carefull and not pilling on the power really quick in the wet. That all said and done i can honestly say that my 1st week of owning the car was without a doubt the best fun i have had in a car to date :D

congrats dude!
but 22k miles, you barly get imported rev4/5s with that milage.

i would take it with a pinch of salt mate, as it does sound stupidly low.
unless of course the car was garaged and never used for 5-8years, lol.


where are the pics?????????

4500 is what i paid for my rev2 gts last march! (57k miles) imported from JDI.
