They can be awesome things. Did a huge amount of research as I nearly bought one.Brakes - standard aren't good Clutch - make sure its not original Gearboxes aren't all that bad Expensive to run and expensive to insure. Can be very reliable if modified correctly and don't have massive power. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

For the time they were supercar fast, and they are very good cars. I was looking at them before getting a 6 and beside the insurance, the gearboxes are made of cheese. Literally.As you can imagine that kind of power in a 4wsd htach is great though. and it uses the very tuneable Silvia engine ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I know of someone who owns one and its pushing quite a considerable amount of power (380bhp) to be precise, however its ALWAYS off the road getting something fixed on it, it also only manages around 5mpgStandard unabused form i reckon they would be like any other jap car, reliable Finding a un abused example would be rather hard ________________________________________ Audi S3 Black Edition |

Got a little bored of my 205 Mi16 one summer so I test drove one of these looking to sell up and buy it. Was completely standard apart from the wheels and was in reasonable condition. Felt like a barge by comparison and was noticeably slower in a straight line, so I kept the 205. Was a little disappointed as I'd fancied a GTi-R for some time too, long before I owned/became a fan of 205s.________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Chocolate gearboxes on them, clutches made of paper. As said if modified sensibly and not too extensively then they can be good fun.

I had a GTi-r hundreds of years ago, through a NME contact I had, was running allegedly 300bhp but my ghost buster mobile legacy turbo felt quicker. I had it for 6 months, collected jealousy scratches and got followed home a few times by suspicious looking gentlemen resulting in comical turn left turn left turn left turh left journeys with them still thinking I hadnt seen them... had a helix clutch in mine which lasted a lot longer than the box. I nearly bought a gp n sunny gti rally car in part ex with it but he wouldnt touch it.. Lost a packet on it and wish i had bought the lancia 16v growler (intergrale) I was looking at instead.________________________________________ 306 less for first time in nearly 7 years.
