Yep, fuel over here sucks, nearly better off pissing into the tank. Im curently on "hold" on performance mods at the moment until i get something proper sorted.
Insurance id say is worse over here than in the uk, although im only 23 i count myself very lucky to have insurance on the car i do, as i switched it over 3 times this year i dont exactly know what this years premium is, but renewal is up soon and i hope it will be under 2k (uk£1350) but can only get TPFT(but its the risk im willing to take).
@Rochey: There was a 94 red supra tt manual (with recaros) for sale in dublin iv seen on another forum for 14900, might save you from goin over to the UK,..... pending that i could always source you one from japan if you were interested.
