I just won THIS i didn't look at it first as i figure if it's that bad i can make the money back in parts. All i need now is to get it from Devon to Essex, anyone able to help? I can get hold of a trailer but i have no vehicle to tow it with. Anybody fancy a road trip with a complete stranger? Or even more mental, letting one borrow their car? (i'm insured 3rd party via my own insurance) Any help appreciated and obviously all cost's covered + beer money. Thanks in advance!! |

Thanks, i used to have a ST185 and i loved it so much, but sold it to a mate when his MR2 turbo got written off as i wanted it to go to a good home and i wanted a starion.
I've always loved the ST162 shape, but not the performance, i drove one and was a bit "MEH" about it, so ever since i've been looking for a decent ST165. Trouble is they are either really good and out my price range or they are really bad and overpriced, this however i figured would be hard to loose on. (i hope)

Blimey, that's parked outside my mates workshop... He's a Syncro specialist, hence the T3 in the background. Can't help on the transport front as I'm not around the southwest for a few weeks, plus I've never used anybody down that way to shift-ola stuff for me, so no recomendations either. But a bump to help...  |

Firstly thanks to torsten for scotts number, i did ring but got no answer so i followed xbollox advice and hit the bay of e.
Managed to get hold of a bloke called joe, who said he could do it for £190, and to top it off he's gonna front the cash for the car and i'll pay him back when he drops the car off to me!! top feller is all i can say on that front.
As soon as i get it, i'll get some pics up

Well my GT4 (st165) just showed up!! Joe's a top feller, can't recommend him enough. It's too dark for pictures and I'm not off till Tuesday so I'll post some up them, but it looks like there's a good chance of it going back on the road!! it's in better condition than it was described although I've yet to get underneath........just moving it was enough to know the engine makes no weird noises and it's got plenty off power still  there is a knock from the rear when you lift off which is probably the rear diff mount so not worried at the moment about that. could do with a clean though....... Merry Christmas everyone!!! I'm happy cause i just bought myself the car i always wanted!!! |
