I have acquired a gen 6 ST202 automatic with a turbo conversion and coil over suspension - the conversion appears to have been completed in Japan as a show car and has a custom made ECU.
This is not a for sale advert as selling and Shipping to USA is likely unrealistic, but I would like some advise. The spec is GReddy inter cooler GReddy dump valve GReddy boost controller 650cc injectors Uprated and balanced crank Uprated oil pump Trust oil cooler Uprated cams Auto transmission cooler It all looks very professionally done and drives well, there is some paperwork showing 350 BHP at the fly and it has all the Japanese service history Looks like gearbox was rebuilt recently. The car runs and just passed the UK road test - it has a little work required - new brake pads and other minor stuff The car has Veil side body kit and carbon fibre rear spoiler. In total this owes me about $1200 and has 70000 miles on the clock I bought it as it was cheap and thought of track days BUT I have a couple of ST205 WRC's and a track ready ST205 so have no real use of this car Automatic drive and track days may be less fun than manual transmission? Taking apart and selling the parts seems a real shame Any ideas welcome as to what to do with the car? |

I love driving auto in heavy traffic times.

I don't live near heavy traffic and I love my DD ST205 WRC in White.
Anyone drive a turbo automatic on track? what's it like? |

use a photo sharing site such as photobucket or flickr, and then use the [img ]link [/img ] tag

I sometimes wish I could say I haven't as they are so good and so cheap here and I have so many of them. |
