Yep, they wouldn't bother making them if they were no good! Like the TT they are fantastic cars, though the main different being the main brute of the TT's turbo's. Alex M has both a NA & TT & loves them both! His NA is his trackday car!

What aload of tosh.

 

Not at all the n.a engine is bullet proof. Mine has just knocked over 130k i have not serviced it since i got it a year ago as im dumping a TT engine in it. Thus far it is faultless. Dyno shows it has lost 5BHP since it was new.

thats amazing :) ive always heard that the n/a even tt versions are bulletproof,so not sure what he was on about! at the mo i have a celica gt 98 reg,how much more would the running costs be apart from fuel? i used to have a gt4 wrc but had nothing but hassle with that lol

Look to 23 MPG ish, normal servicing, Never try to change the n.a plugs yourself, i dont see many bits being different than your celica. I think vicky takes her car to someone in sheerness for all work.

 

John and col are up for a mini meet on a sunday in a few weeks, if you want to come along check out the cars and go for a ride feel free. Probably heading out then to a pub for lunch or something.

 

I will send you a message with times and dates.
