Yep but he put his last RWD backwards into a tree (just guessing), presumably while "having fun".

They are two completley diffrent cars....i would personally get an RST, i will probably get slated for that lol, but i have good reason!!

If you have the same amount of money to spend on each car, then you will get a much nicer RST for say 3k than you would get a saph for 3k..i would just look at it logically. And buy the best with the money i had, rather than buying a worse condition cossie just because it's a "cossie"!! if you get me lol!!

If money is not an issue then i would buy a nice saph

i forgot the cry smily for the colour

but i do think MO's are a no no,,,,,,,,, no stu i let you off though as you got the big brakes to match, 18 MO's with standard brakes look worse than this !!!






or even this ( yes its my car too, but ive got a plan )







but it should look like this ( not the rust but brom dont use his car )


if ya get MO's then this is what ya brakes need to look like !!!!!

yep the last saff was writen off due to having fun , it hit a curb the went through a fence .
rwd is fun , should settle down but there is no fun in that .
yep i understand i will get a nicer rs turbo for 3k than a cossie for 3k !!!
i had good amounts of fun in my turbo and if it goes wrong it is cheaper to fix as well .
but i think a nice cossie on momo's would be great don't you stu
you can get a turbo going quite fast as well ( cant you stu wink wink )
looks like i will just have to look at boath vehicles and see whitch one floats my boat more .
it would be my 4th cossie if i got one , but i have only had 1 other turbo who no's
