Hi All, (Mods please move to relevant area if this isn't it, not used a forum in years!)

As an introduction my name is Lewis, I'm picking up a 1995 GTiR Saturday from a friend from work, it's been off the road for about 7 years now he's owned it for nearly 10.

I first went out in it when I was a 19 years old and fell in love with it.. I'm now 26 and I've been pestering him to buy it for all of those years, he's finally caved. He took me for a drive in it on Saturday and it brought the memories back.

It's had some minor remedial work done recently but needs a full service/all fluids swapping. It was bit hesitant under full load at peak boost but when it cleared its lungs fk me it flew! It was fine beforehand so probably just wants a good run with new fuel, plugs & fresh filters. It's a very tidy car with only a really small blister of rust on the NSR Arch.

It's had some extensive work done to it also over the years and it's a bit of a weapon to drive, probably nothing compared to some of the 400-500bhp monsters on here but to me it's bang on... Needless to say I'm very excited and feel privileged to own such a car, even if it's going to be a Pain in the Ass/Wallet.

Spec (As much as I can remember, for the sake of me writing it down somewhere!):
Approx 60k miles
FMIC
Full Exhaust System with novelty size backbox (Smaller outlet will be one of my first jobs!)
HKS Mushroom Air Filter
HKS EVC 4 Boost Controller
HKS 264 Cams
Turbo Timer
Silicone Coolant/Boost Hoses
Custom Alloy Rad
Carbon Bonnet
Carbon Spoiler
Strut/Underbody Braces
Whiteline ARB's
Anti-lift Kit
A/C Deleted
Hi-Spec Billet 4's
Rota Slipstreams with Toyo T1R's
HKS Spark Plug Cover
Nismo Wheel
Umbrella :wink:
I'm told it's running 280bhp Low boost / 300 High Boost which sounds about right

Does anyone know any decent specialists in the Midlands? (any googling is coming back empty)

Sorry for the shit pics, They're all I've got at the moment

That would be great seems theres a few owners in Cov like myself and Kenilworth too.. nothing needs doing "yet" touching lots of wood.. just wants fluids dropping and fresh plugs etc as its been stood for so long I'll do all that myself.

The guy that was doing all the work on it before has offered to carry on and he knows what he's doing on them.
