Beautiful!

They are awesome cars, and that looks in excellent condition.

I'm jealous!

hey, if you dont mind me asking, whats the mileage, and how much did it set you back. Also, where is it coming from.

Thanks, my dad had a 95TT and ive been looking to get one in the next while.

The T.O. guy finally decided to sell it, huh?? That was short lived. Apparently it's quite the catch.
Hope it arrives without too many scratches.

Lates,

yea John did HAVE to sell it... he was unwilling at first...... but when i showed up on his doorstep he had no choice.. HA! btw hes got a monster 600whp GTR anyways..

the car has ONLY 16K miles!!!



all reliability mods have been completed.

mod list:

-AST elimination
-HKS downpipe
-HKS mid pipe
-Racing Beat cat back
-Greddy intake kit
-Walbro 255lph hp fuel pump
-NGK Spark plugs
-Magnacor 10mm plug wires
-Diff and tranny fluids changes to Redline MT-90
-Vacuum line replaced
-Slave cylinder rebuild
-Stainless steel Clutch lines
-Apexi Power FC (Tuned to 13PSI) 290whp
-Volk CE28N'S 17X8.5

the paints in good condition.. just aged in time but not through use..

drove it to the train yard.. initital impressions, other than the smoothness of the roootary, the driver feeling, cockpit style engagement, and interior size is something to get use to. (first REAL sportscar for me!)

set me back $25K, i thought it was high.. but after searching for a clean 7 within the $15K-$20K range for like almost half a year, wasnt happening...

also the clean ones in the states were going for 18K-19K US$ with higher mileage, so after conversion, Fed inspections and PVI it would have come out to 25K anyways.


picked it up from TDOT. 10 mins outside of downtown... one UGLY city..lol!
i felt like i was in the states! love the highways infrastructure though!



PS: there was a 95TT for sale on ebay with only 168miles, but AUTO!

im not going to be tracking it, well not anytime soon..maybe some day, lol.. its on my things to do!

i cant say much about reliability or handling.. since i dont have the car yet in my possession..all i can say is the car feels different from the 8 other than the smoothness of the engines..

but as far as reading from the 7 forums.. most of the mods done to the car are "reliability" mods!

my next mod is a racing radiator and alarm.

if i track then i will have to get a second oil cooler.

awesome car man, but i do think you should go for a 2nd oil cooler anyways, better safe than sorry especially with such low mileage.
