Leaving the RS fold

[mestew87]

I have decided to sell up, i do alot of motorway travelling when i am home from offshore and the cup's gearing just doesnt sit right with me when on the motorway. Have to say its been one of the best handling cars i have had

:dapprove:

What is the soarer like then . Manual one is rare ?

The soarer is based on the toyota supra chassis, it has a 1jzgte engine (2.5 twin turbo) factory manuals are very rare.

I did like the coupe, shame the 16vt only had 2 pot calipers up front unlike the 20vt's brembo's. The biggest issue i had with it was there was an electrical problem with the immobiliser, and the fact i blew the head gasket a little bit too much boost :evil:. The upgrade market wasnt the biggest either so cost of parts were alot higher than the likes of parts for the 200sx

Are you planning to do the 2.4 conversion ?

No not yet its just had a stage one remap so far . Next would be a stage 2 with a hybrid turbo (GT28R) and remap good for 300 BHP & 300lb/ft but its fine for now

Just had a quick look, when changing the turbo you should change the manifold to this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fiat-Coupe-ex...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b73321f9, as the standard ones are prone to cracking.

I forgot to mention the clio is advertised up on pistonheads wanting around £3000 or a diesel swap like a golf gttdi etc

Iv got the Plus last of the line coupe with the uprated manifold so should be ok :approve:
