60k is minimum really, ones thats been treated well (regular oil checks n changes, and not driven too much like a pussy, as thats bad for em) can last 80k+ no probs.

Rebuilds on them are cheap tho, 2.5k or so, about half what most other nice jap cars are.

The standard twin turbo setup is over-complicated tho, and can cause grief, TBH id only want one with a single turbo conversion.

Awesome cars, look like a mega expensive car inside n out, look lovely, sound lovely, handle lovely, brake lovely, and can be modded to go silly fast.

Wouldnt have one as a daily driver tho


Sorry mate, as said, I'm in a daft mood today lol.

Mine would have to be a daily driver but I guess it's each to their own in that respect. What would I look for to tell me that a rebuild is not yet necessary then? Wouldn't want the engine to let go on me, but as I only do around 10k a year then in theory it sounds as tho a well looked after car could serve me for two years before being rebuilt, which at 2.5k wouldn't be so bad.

I doubt I could be arsed with a single turbo conversion. Wouldn't it become much more laggy etc?

I thought with TT one runs at low revs and the other at high, or am I getting confused with bi-turbo?
