Beefyblx Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 The thing is ive only got 6 grand saved up and really want a facelift late 97 rz!! hence it mite be better for me to buy a n/a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboBrett Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 yeah these are things you have to weigh up... if you want a facelift model for its newness and low milage then your going to put an older age wise and milage wise engine in it. have you had a rwd before? an na would be a great start as there not slow, just not as quick as they could be:d if a tight budget and the need for a facelift model i would do as you suggest and get an n/a first then if you want n/a-tt its always on the cards:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefyblx Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Ive never drove a rwd before, so i think n/a would be a wise choice cuz i do have a heavy foot!! but..... its all about the sound of a turbo!! lol, cheers for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboBrett Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 the warehouse manager at my work has a modded seat Ibiza (old shape) and he wants one of these, i have tryed to get him one but there not cheap you know lol:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Just get a TT mate, honestly, its not worth the hassle converting your n/a to a single Turbo. However, members have converted their n/a's to a TT... For a late model, i paid £12,000 for my '98 vvti, believe me, late model's aren't cheap for a decent Supe beefyblx...

Beefyblx Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 I think i should just get the idea of a late spec out my head, there's no way i can get 12 grand!! lol, Ive been looking on ebay does this car look like its worth the money?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160256204314&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your budget is limited, you need to ask yourself which is more important: a late model, or TT performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
