Just been looking at cheap turbo barges... The above has a 2.3 turbo with 230 brake for a grand!

I bought a 9000 with a 2.3 aero engine, ebay gt30, bigger injectors, fuel pump blah blah blah with 360bhp for £1200. A standard aero is a bargain for what you get.

How do they drive? Not asking it to be a track.animal but can u have some fun on the back lanes or is it a heavy lump

I was surprised to find gt isn't that bad round country roads! Was expecting it to be a straight line car but I have no trouble hustling along twisty roads. Ok it's not a Caterham but it's not a wallowy hippo either.

I'd have the 900 for nostalgia, but 9k for the 2.3!

Just gets better!

Have had a 900 Turbo, 180 brake and was a fast motor! prefer the looks but tidy ones getting rare/pricey now!

52 plate 9-5 Aero Estate (250hp) doesn't do too bad against a 1000 suzuki ridden by someone who can't ride lol, it needs a bigger intercooler, watch the IATs go up!

Does your temp guage not work or did you nail that from cold?

Has an aftermarket temp gauge on the A pillar, and it's not me...
