I had a look at them, when I was after a turbo jap car.

Not sure what put me off, but I wasn't won over and I also read about gearbox issues.

there are good things about this car but very very weak box. once u up the box u'l be going through gear box's i had 2 of my friends that had one n they couldnt do much apart from leave it near standard.

Well I like the fact that the LSD is standard.. if it had a good strong box I would be quite intrigued to actually buy one and see what's what.. but I've had enough of cars with box problems to last me a lifetime and I'm sure it's only the beginning for me and my project lol.

looked at a few of these before buying a gtir, interior was just like the 1.6 turbo so just looked like an early 80s car.the 1.6 had 1 major flaw in that it was a bit unstable cornering at speed this was fixed to a certain extent in the 1.8 version but it was still there.
