    yeah, my hard luck.

    The S3 was logged today, pulling 12 degrees of timing. Not sure if I should jump in and replace the likely culprits of if I might be buying a money pit. Timing pull on a stock S3, all cyl on boost... Odd...

    There must be some 2nd hand Toyota 86's coming on the market now. Cheap interiors as well, though

    Nice ideas guys. I won't discuss why each is wrong for me.
    The seller of the S3 is looking into the issue, hoping they get somewhere.

    Hoyhoy.

    Have a look Greg, there's 100's of them @ new prices, but now the steelers are starting have them sitting in stock.
    You'll have to wait a bit longer for second hand deals, I've been looking, because I'm interested in one.
    The Little Blue Girl might have to move out in the near future.
    Hooroo.
