Sounds like he bought Matt Barne's old car. Awesome looking car.

[R31 GTS]

Yep it was Matt's old car,

[TIMMMAYYY]

He had it for sale for at least a year I reckon.

Yep, picked it up for 13

[Adam_RSX]

Black with white ROH wheels? Nice car

[Cillham]

[MADGT4]

Excuse me did you say you WERE 13?

IF so firstly why are you buying a car like this when its gonna be 3 years till you drive it?

Secondly who bought it you or your parents, and if your parents did which i'm guessing they would of what parent in their right mind would buy their kid a 240rwkw car as their first?

Danger is the first word that pops to mind.....

BUT on the brighter side welcome to SAU

[TIMMMAYYY]

[R31 GTS]

mad gt4, dad got the car for himself, but it will be mine............one day. i hope

how many guys on this site have r31 gts's

[R31 GTS]

oh and the car will be made to drift spec soon, so it won't be street legal, ill have to get some el cheapo car, better than nothing

[Cillham]

ah crap, for some reason when i see a import 31 set up for drift/ track spec i feel bad because there aint too many on the road.

[Nozila]

my uncle had a r31 but it was non turbo. Damn that thing was fast though too bad he sold it to make way for a shuttle bus - tarago.

[R31 GTS]

here are pics

oh and the car will be made to drift spec soon, so it won't be street legal, ill have to get some el cheapo car, better than nothing

Why oh WHY would you turn something as clean as that into a drifter??? :chop: OMFG!! Its CRUEL DAMMIT!! :confused: :confused: :chairshot

[Cillham]

yea, that should stay on the road, sure take it to the track occasionally, but the thought of that being riped up is gut wrenching. I think i saw your dad driving it on anzak hwy couple of days ago.. does he have a beard? i have him a wave, he waved back

[TIMMMAYYY]

This car also has 32 GTR brakes.

[Nightcrawler]
