    Thanks mate, she's an unreal car - just not the right time for ownership! Might take it out for one last (and first?) hoorah at the Marulan day on the 8th!

    Don't have the original set of 16's, the car came with the 02 wheels (with plenty of life left, Ventus V8s). I'm trying to chase some down before the 8th, incase I do get to the track! Would love the car rolling on 16s however, maybe keep the 17s as track wheels (or vice versa.) Would keep the car a little more stock looking too.

    Yeah that's probably what I'll wind up doing. Also have a set of 04 Lib 17" rims in the garage doing nothing, needs new rubber. I'd use those, but 16s would be more economical. I'll throw the 17s in with the sale of the car.

    Price dropped to $15,000. More interest, no cash handed over yet. Help me get rid of this so I can enjoy a bomb daily driver.

    Very nice example. I had one back in the day and still think it was the most fun out of any daily I've had including FD's and S2000. Great car!

    Haha thanks for the pickup mate! Will change that!
    Thanks for the comments guys. Not really that fussed on dropping the price that much more, it'll just sit in the garage and get used on occasions. Incredibly fun car. (this cold weather has made it something else as well lately!)
