X2. For that budget I wouldn't spend it on an old turbo car unless your son is prepared to fork out for maintenance costs and this money could be saved for his next (turbo) car instead.

i remember actually taking this car for a test drive. admittedly it was a couple of years ago then. looks the same and from memory the same sort of mods. i didnt end up buying it then coz i noticed when i was looking over the car. i walked behind it and felt something spray on my leg. we i checked it out it was a blacky substance. thought that it may have just been condensation. took it for a test drive (and yes i think the 11 1/4 time is probably embelished abit) got back and decided to check for the substance thing again. it was still spitting out. i'm 99% sure it was oil. decided to leave it where it was.

maybe the problem is fixed now. who knows. just letting you know what i experienced with the car back then.

lol tino tuned rotars can last more than 100k's. its dependant on the style of porting u choose. obviously u wouldnt expect a peripheral port to last that long but fuk, its worth it.
