    Hate to get on the troll wagon with Hans but he is right, most GTs sold especially these really done up ones do seem to be riddled with faults we rarely hear about on the forum

    Whats the fleet looking like at the minute then Beau?

    It won't be the head gasket, it's like its struggling with the spark, and only under load in higher gears, I can go Down the road through 1st and 2nd spinning the wheels up no problems

    When I was tuning my car it was always going wrong. Mainly because for me it was a project and I was learning from it as I went. Of course trying to use it as a daily driver was probably not a good idea.

    I cannot recount the number of times where I've seen on this forum something for sale then the new owner doesn't even get home and its broken. Seller says car is amazing, but if new owner is saying cannot even accelerate in gears because of misfire - sounds fishy.

    We're all guilty of this to some extent. I put off replacing the clutch on my old Boxster and just sold it. Be interesting to know what was the 'best built GT' was actually about to go wrong

    >> Please note: THIS HAS NOT BEEN BODGED TOGETHER BY A COMPANY, IT HAS BEEN BUILT FROM THE BOTTOM UP BY MYSELF PROPERLY.

    Don't mean to butt in but Bradley never had problems with this car and the problems he did have you all knew about in his project. I had it recently sold my punto as honest as possible was fine with me 2weeks later the guy had dropped a valve :/. It must be with puntos that once it's yours u gotta make it yours learning how to drive it your way lol. I don't know but as everyone says this happens a lot. Guess we all gotta learn to drive certain gts in a certain way lol
