They are indeed solid little beasts Most people don't believe me when I say my car is 18 yrs old. It sounds like a long time and i guess it is, but in general you can be assured (most) people who own these kinds of cars do take good care of them. You can see if they have been 'let go' as it were, and who keeps things tidy. Any kind of service history they can provide you with is always good. Some cars come with a hand-full of receipts/invoices in the glove-box. If you see things replaced that indicates something dodgy went on, like a smash repairers receipt, beware Ive had mine for just over a year now, and he's not skipped a beat engine wise, only comment that i noticed people have with GTS-Ts relates to idle issues, but they are easy to troubleshoot and usually easy to resolve I did have a minor bingle but that was mostly cosmetic, and my own fault...

mine has the same issue, thought it might be the afm, since when it was on cold start he was fine, no such luck though. lately in hot weather he's been sitting fast at 1200 for no good reason, not a boost leak either. *shrugs* he still does it occasionally, but a little heel/toe here and there stops the rare conking out might try the IAC myself, thanks Wheezy

you are damned either way indeed! if you do the speed limit on kwinana freeway people look at you like you're some kind of freak of nature but as soon as you overtake someone you get the usual shake of the head 'tut tut' i never used to speed, but in my car, if you arent being a sheep you have to cop a lot of flak for not doing 140 on the way to work

lol ive had that happen before on the freeway, you just happen to have a little bit of flutter and people think you are 'hooning' around - seems to provoke a lot of anger, which you cant but attribute to some level of jealousy

I was leaving for work about 5am one fine Saturday morning, and some lovely group of guys (no doubt on their way home from Friday night antics) decided it would be amusing to try and play silly buggers with me. Started swerving into my lane, and when we pulled up at the lights and they proceeded to shout obscenities from the window of their ute. When I promptly refused to 'take the bait' (noting we were about 100m from local cop shop) they took off, but slowed down again to about 30km/h, i slowed down too since i didnt fancy pulling up next to them for fear of being swerved off the road.. they threw their maccas out the window at my car They missed me but that could have been messy. I pulled into the bus port so they pulled away, but my god it made me mad. I don't fancy being run off the road just because im in an import and some bogans in a white ute decide they dont like jap cars. It doenst make sense.
