Hope you get one and I look forward to seeing it out in the Pennines in that case!

I had a 58 plate one as a 'do it all daily' type car and didn't intend to sell it to be honest but a GR Yaris cancellation popped up very suddenly so I went for that. They are fantastic cars and do it all very well, I found it relatively cheap to run overall (servicing, discs/ pads, even overall mpg for a 5.0 V8). I used to take mine out in the north Pennines for a hoon and the suspension coped with the lumpy bumpy b roads very well, much better than any other daily I'd had to that point. Lots complain about the ride quality of the earlier cars but I never felt it was an issue, quite the opposite. The engine is awesome, I loved it and the fact it was auto didn't detract at all. It blended in great too, I got no negative attention in mine, the same can't be said for people I know with m3's/ c63's etc. The car would very rarely slip an inside wheel either and would wag the back end quite easily powering out of junctions or bends. The lsd in the facelift cars is just a torsen anyway, you'd be better fitting a Cusco (or other) proper diff in the long run if you were that way inclined. If you've been into your Honda's and have the taste of the BMW, the ISF is almost like a nice mix of the best between the two.

Funny to see mention of the little Yaris in here. I went from my ISF to the Yaris. I found if it was dry i would take my old bmw out for a hoon and if it was wet id not take either! Now the Yaris can be driven just as quickly in the wet as the dry pretty much and doesnt feel like youre verging on death if it is wet 😂 I thought i'd miss the V8 noise and i definitely do but i dont yearn for it like i thought i would. I think i've ticked the super saloon box with the ISF and have no immediate want for such a car again. Maybe i will in a few years, who knows but for now the little hooligan mobile is doing me just fine 😁

My bolts snapped so needed to be drilled and tapped, that was the only reason.

Oh wow, 2 greats. A friend has a z3m coupe, i did always fancy one. I've got an old 1973 2000tii restomod that i've done, if i didnt do that i think id have got a z3m! My situation in selling has been a bit of a strange one, hopefully i wont be carless for long as i cant be but im waiting on a cancellation spot for something and was told end of this month. Anyway, best of luck and yes hold out for what you want! The lad that came and got mine restored my faith in private car buyers after nearly everyone else ive been dealing with, just needed the right guy to come and see it.

Best of luck with the sale, mine has just gone today. Get yourself ready for all the timewasters in the world and people telling you it's not worth anywhere near what you're asking 🙄

37511-30020 Thats the part number for the Mk4 Supra coupling. I know some of the specialists have stated theres no bonding, its just bolted as you'd expect. Some of them have also stated that they've had cracks showing for 50k+ miles and they get no worse, not even when supercharged, i assume there are steel wires or such actually providing the strength internally and everything is coated in rubber, which obviously degrades to some degree over time.

Well im 3-4k below dealers offering similar cars (not as good examples in my opinion) and have had a lot of interest but nothing solid yet. I know its only been a couple of weeks but i thought someone would have snapped this up with how good an example it is for the money it is up for. I've had some low ball offers out of the blue and without prior discussion that havent been entertained, i've also had some chats and relatively sensible offers which have amounted to nothing when push came to shove and coming to view the car was mentioned. Not sure how people do this for a living!

They do seem to be going up on the likes of WBAC (for more mainstream vehicles) but trying to sell privately is a pain at the moment (as it always is!). I put my ISF up at very sensible money a couple of weeks back and it's been hard work so far. The golf r estate I sold to get my ISF is worth more now on wbac than it was 10 months ago when I checked for example.

It should have had the big service now whether it was mileage or time based. By the sounds of it its got 70k miles on and still on original plugs/ coolant/ brake fluid perhaps. Looks like it could do with front disks and pads soon too.

Youd be better off saving 3-4k and getting that nice grey one thats up for sale and had the common bits sorted 🙄😂

Anyone that works with CF will be able to sort it, so don't feel rail roaded into replacing it via lexus or wrapping it in fake stuff.

Independent servicing is cheap enough. It's good if you can get one with the radiator/ transcooler done as well as a none leaking water pump. Discs and pads aren't too bad if you don't go to the dealer either. Wear on tyres is good for what it is. Personally don't see the point in the 4+ extra thousand for a facelift, would rather put that towards something else. But I would say that, my 58 plate car went up for sale on here yesterday 😂

Thanks, i've put it in the classified section and will see what happens!

Cracking, im unsure on colours, i like them all but will take whatever pops up first with the circuit pack to be honest, i've been given a contact to call today and sort out so think ill order one regardless! Agree on passenger seat height, i took a few mates out in turn and one did comment on that. The drivers seating position seemed good to me though, many reviews say otherwise, i really dont agree with them on that! The mirror/ dash screen obscured view i didnt find to be a thing either! Love the Dolly! Its like a British 2002 albeit that looks to have more creature comforts than mine! I really like the engines in those things, its British engineering at its best how they've made them 16v, the competition engine builders i help out at does a fair few of them considering how uncommon they are. The place that rebuilt my gearbox and prep 2002's for racing also built and look after an old group 2 one, lovely thing. I do hope i can bump into you in that or the gsf one time when im out driving, would love to see either! Or maybe with your son in the Yaris 😁
