They are good cars, they have alot of potential, But believe me they are just a fucking arse ache
I've had everything go wrong on mine, from doors jamming, to water pumps, to every turbo gasket, to windows just randomly shattering..
gearbox is the weakest point of the car, casing especially! along with the selector forks.
14psi, and there fucking rapid, makes about 260 - 290bhp, depending on age of car, and mods
clutches dont last long at all, and are a cunt to change
I just recently see one blow a rad also on the rollers, so an uprated one is a must, as anything over 10psi, and they dont like the heat. Ive done 2 radiatiors in 7 months...
Whats the spec of the car btw?
i have to disagree with you there radders mate
2 of my mates have gtirs, and theyve both been pretty reliable, both done a track day in them too.
one melted a piston but it was running 20psi on standard engine, since its been rebuilt and forged its not been a problem, even with the gt30 the cooling systems been no problem either. The standard box didnt go but he got sa bargain shotpeened one fitted now, so time will tell...
one thing that definitely needs upgrading immediately is the brakes... theyre shocking as standard
