Hi Im looking to itch a scratch I have a list of motors i would like and GTO is on the list.
has anybody got a modified with around 400bhp for sale would love Blue colour but the right car wont stop my colour choice.
Some cars i have had,TVr tamora Miss it but to expensive now,BMW Alpina Roadster also a great car,3 x Honda S2000s still have one and will always I think…couple type R,
Would like a Nissan 300zx but wife says there ugly,Toyota Supra,Porsche but put of because of so many issues…Boxter or 996 anything younger is silly money.
I have read a few bits on here and finding your humour a little like S2k uk which is also a great group.
Hope to get a GTO asap and maybe come along to a meet.
Cheers for now Burnie.

Hi Burnie. Welcome to the nut house. As Craig said I have a Blue Mk1 for sale. I had a guy viewing it today so may be sold but I will keep you posted. Here is a picture. If you have any questions send me a PM and I will let you know if she’s still for sale.

Yuki is so so nice but my slight budget of between £5500 aint enough. love the picture with the jet behind…
It’s probably a bit of a stretch to get a tidy 400bhp car for £5500 as this means 13T turbos and a piggyback or aftermarket ECU is required. You might find one mid 300’s which has just had the boost turned up on the standard 11b turbos with an airflow rate converter unit fitted. That can be done to a standard car for three figures versus £4-5k in parts (factoring in uprated clutch, exhaust, intercooler, etc) and mapping for the 13T upgrade.

Yeh I have never had a turbo petrol before and really fancy a well sorted one ,some one who has done all the work as i would not be able to do this wok myself.
I appreciate the car above. And i know I can’t afford that one…Its a lovely colour car as well.
Why not look for a good condution std tt car they are quite quick and then as you get to know about gto/3000gt,s you can decide the route you want to for mods.
Buying something already modded may be expensive or more important has it been set up expertly, badly done mods can cause a lot of problems.
Your budget should get you a decent car of any age but do check for rust particularly rear nearside inner wing, at the rear behind petrol tank, rear sill and floorpan to bulkhead seams, a superficially good looking car can be very rusty.
Good luck with your quest. Jerry.

Be interested to see what the upgrades are to get 480bhp , over 20k spent but no real list of what’s on there . Have a good read of the buyers guide on here and print it out if you need to

Red car certainly looks good inside and bodywork, l would like to see underneath and how it has been treated but l wonder why he has left the engine bay as is rather than freshened up at least a bit. It takes a lot of cleaning but its worth it. But on the face of it looks like it could be a decent car for the money especially if bargainable on price, maybe a lot of work gone into it but fully restored?
For the black car, good price for the power if the spec adds up, does he have any dyno back up for the 480bhp ir any photos. As Craig says not much detail but it should feel very quick on a test drive with that sort of power. Make sure the basic car is solid, mk 2 as well so mk1 or mk2?
Good luck

Cheers,yes I was thinking it should be quick,but I need to check all of above info. Red one looks great but picture may make it look better, inside looks really nice.
Is there much difference in price between the mk s and have you all noticed an Upwood trend in price.
Have noticed the Supra have taken of but Good and Nissan just have not started yet?
Hi burnie
Welcome along. The car on Gumtree is also on autotrader. Do check the MOT history using the free service. I did it for this car and it had some advisories and lots of history so definitely worth a read.
Cheers

Cheers James…
Went and seen the black rocket yesterday, very nice car had a lot done quite a lot of paper work, but no internal work had racing type clutch quite stiff,wheels were ok there was advisory on new mot stating rust corrosion on jacking points plus the front metal bar behind the front bumper was quite rusty interior was lovely a bit of wear but it 20 odd years old engine bay was quite tatty a few days cleaning and painting would work but he wants too much money. Felt like it’s done the mileage 144k UK spec.
Won’t be a uk spec car , only the 3000gt twin turbo was uk spec , all GTO’s both n/a manual and auto and Twin turbo are jap spec
