NZ GT4 Options

[wadeos]

Im currently looking for a white 6gc gt4 in new zealand, i found this one on trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=329578041 but on toyspeed a guy says its ****.
Does anyone know / seen / driven this car before ? or know of a good white gt4 in nz ?
Cheers.

that 2nd white one is a good 1

i made a poor choice when i bought my gt4 i took the first one i saw cuz it was the only one around at the time and i was sick of waiting.

check over the service history, the mistake i made is believing what the ad says about its service history and maintenance and how well looked after it was kept.

in my experience...

wheel bearings tend to go between 120,000kms to 180,000kms one by one
the turbo can go any time after 130,000kms depending on the quality of oil used and how frequently it had been changed (recommended 5000kms and castrol magnatec 10w30 or 10w40)
superstrut lower arms around 150,000kms to 180,000kms.
if the radiator top tank has any cracks in it replace it immediately or it will blow off as these engines get really hot.
rotate your tyres every 5000kms as the fronts like to camber wear really quick.

ive had engine mounts and swingarms come loose too, no biggie

always ask to check the turbo for shaft play and make sure the throttle body rubber mouth isnt cracked.
