Coastr Posted 14April, 2017 Report Share Posted 14April, 2017 Another red turbo, g50 gearbox, built in 88 so it could feasibly be imported into Ozhttp://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-porsche-911-turbo-5/ I'd have that. Be fun to cop an engine rebuild ! 89 turbo is a special car in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 21April, 2017 Report Share Posted 21April, 2017 What are people's thoughts on an Ultima GTR?https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ultima-GTR-2011/SSE-AD-4676110 probably awesome on track, scary sketchy fast on road to the point of being unusable I'd sayand I'd be suss on build. My Westfield clubman was built as a demo car by the guy who imports lots from U.K. So I assumed properly built unlike some. But I had steering wheel and shaft pull out, disengage and leave me with no steering an hour after I picked it up ?. It was a MG inspired telescopic column held together by friction of a grub screw through outer shaft against inner shaft.then some time later a rose joint in the rear wishbone snapped as I pulled into my driveway after a spirited drive through the trees in Red Hill. I was VERY lucky both times not to have a massive accident. Never again will I buy a Jerry built car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-S Posted 21April, 2017 Report Share Posted 21April, 2017 What are people's thoughts on an Ultima GTR?https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ultima-GTR-2011/SSE-AD-4676110 Saw quite a few of them in trackdays back in the UK and can honestly say, never seen a kit car move so fast. However, I can also say with some high degree of certainty that I've also never seen one complete more than a handful of laps before breaking down. An Ultima also held the record for the fastest breakdown in history at the trackday company owned by my friends, bloke arrived with it on a trailer (never seen one arrive under its own steam), started it up, selected reverse and it broke down halfway off the trailer, never to restart. We renamed them the Ultima-te PoS. Saw a couple catch fire as well. 1600km on the clock of that one, bet it's done 4x that on the back if trailers / breakdown trucks. Still, at least if you bought that one, when it broke down you can at least be comfortable in the knowledge it's like sitting in an oven under all that glass, so you'll keep warm. So warm, you'll probably want it to catch fire.In summary : Kitcars ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car I bought when I was a mere 20 years old, was a 74 TA22 celica.. manual and bone stock. I "ruined" it with a 3TGTE, wheels, 4W discs, Konis.. etc... the kid I sold it to at the time, didn't have a licence, he was only 15.He tracked me down through facebook, and I tried to buy it back! but he won't let it go... turns out he is a lot smarter than I!!I love these old Celicas.

Sadly, never driven ofcourse That really is sad. If the owner is worried about driving it, give them my details and I'll do a swap - they can take my 'driver' and I'll take their garage queen and corrupt it!
