Spotted this local to me on ebay and went to see it and fell in love smile.gif Got it for an absolute bargain price.

Denim Blue,225bhp, 6 speed, full blue leather, 50,000 miles, MINT!




They're not for everybody i know, but i love it and it's quite a lot quicker than the Celica, a lot torquier to.

So why no GT-4 you may ask........

well........ i just felt i had done evrything i wanted to do to mine, and couldn't face starting again with a near-identical car....

Don't worry, i'll still stay on here, and anyway i still have the Celica until i can get what i want for it smile.gif

nice, i just traded my 225 Roadster yesterday frown.gif!!
They are seriously nice cars, I want the TT 3.2 V6 S-Line now, it looks more agressive smile.gif
But for now my new baby is a Titanium gray Mazda RX8 GT, loving the car but not the 10 MPG!!! The audi gave me minimum 20MPG, but thank god its not my daily driver tongue.gif

A few things to look for...

Make sure you do the full timing belt job if you have 60,000 miles, audi originally thought it would make it to 110,000miles but they were wrong!
Snapped timing belt = $6,000 new motor...
If your front suspension starts to clunk or squeak, change the sway bar bushings, they only cost $16 but take about 4 hours to change out if its your first time...
Change the haldex oil at least every 15-20K miles but alot of TT owners recommend every 10K miles, it costs A LOT but if you buy the special wrench you can do it for alot less.

I really miss the power of the turbo and tuning is realatively inexpensive for big power!!!
Now go throw some 18 inch BBS wheels and drop the car biggrin.gif
