    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    So guys I'm a new R5 GT Turbo owner what problems should I be looking out for, the car has done 160000 miles seams to run sweat, its totally standard, the temp is just over the first mark and the oil pressure when driving is about 2 to 2.5 on idle about just over 1, I'm hoping to restore this car and keep it on the road as a daily driver so if there's any warning signs I should look out for any help would be appretiated

    thats good to here, as I used to work as a welder for quite a few years, never welded a car though but I would definately give it a try to save a bit of money
