its $700 and has 160,000km's on the clock.

the front left quarter is dented and the 2 tips that leave the rear resonator are broken off.

also the ignition barrel has been replaced and so the key will start it but won't lock it.

i have a peice of 2.5' pipe left over that i could use for the pipe and i could install central locking for a temporary fix, plus i have a vl so i have extractors and a high flow cat that will fit it,

it looks so much nicer inside than my car and its a sedna not a wagon.

what do you think?

I got the r31!

for $600 with 160,069

but i think the speedo has stopped.

Don't worry bout the kays,these things go forever can't kill em with a stick,my son has had a 31 for 7 years only knows 2 speeds flat out and dead stop,advance the timing makes em go heaps harder.Enjoy it there a top ride. :nyaanyaa:

haha yeah its so much better than my vl,

i've got some plans for it at the moment nothing too great though

Nothing wrong with R31's. I've always found them much more enjoyable to drive and passenger in then its obvious competitors being similar aged commodores and falcons.

yeah iv had four 31's their great cars whack a vl turbo kit on and they scream ive got a whole 200kw kit for sale $800 with everything u need if ur interested lol :D

high comp turbo engines FTW!

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
