    life will never be the same

    check the car over fully like everyone says, theres more than enough time and money to be pumped into these things before you think about upgrades..

    unless your paying mega money for a supreme condition one, no matter what 5 you buy its gonna be needing the odd bits here and there

    the youngest ones are nearly 20 years old so dont expect it to be bombproof

    like people have already said, get the fueling and boost to matched by someone who know what they are doing

    Hi Garry, get some info up about the current state of the car in respect to tune and general condition, and also what are you looking for from the 5. Some people want Mega power fully stripped out slags, some people want good reliability with general comforts in takt. Go from there.

    Don't set it on fire - I've done that once and it don't help.

    Good luck.
