Yes, but I would not drive a LHD car and it will be a pain to sell off again.

It really can't be measured like that mate to be honest.

It's not just it's 0-60 time it's more like when it's flying through the gears and the speed never lets up.

Make sure you get a good one though if you go for a Rex.Make sure you drive a scooby also though.

They just need looking after fad mate..Make sure the camblets done..Plugs are decent and the oil's changed every 3K or 6 months and use a decent semi like Silkolene or Millers 15/50 for everyday use.

Same as any other car really it's just when peiople fuk about with them who ain't got a clue that they go wrong.

Petrol can be a nightmare if you drive hard.But keep it under 3K when going to work etc and it isn't that bad.

They can last 20K just like any other car bud!

They do really need the full works when it come to the geometry though.4 wheels laser..Toe in at the front and non in the back..bit of negative camber on the front.Can be around £100 to do properly.

If you ever near me your welcome to a go

Mine was only 4K and it's the best 4K i have/ probably will ever spend

Very

More than enough to out drag most cars you come across.As you would imagine though RX7's and supra's are probably gonna get the better of me but there ain't non were i live

Only wankers in saxo's that just don't even bother.
