Hello all  :)

Just purchased a 205 Gti today, looks like some of you already know of it ;)

1990 Silver, twin carbs, dodgy tail lights, 17's
Just found out the alternator looks to be dodgy :(
Probably be looking to make it a little more standard eventually, with factory 15's , normal looking ass, and might need to tone down the exhaust a little. Seems to be fairly good otherwise.  ;D

Anyone know a good source for tuning twin carbs?

All in all happy so far with the purchase. Get the alternator/battery sorted and it'll be sweet. I'll wait for the second week for the frustrations to set in  ::)   ;D

Are you in Aucklandtown? If so then look up 'Carb Specs' in Carlton Gore Road, Newmarket, you can't go past these guys they are the best around

the one thats been on trade me for ages, ha ha.   what did you pay for it?

Raikyn

$3700
Has a stuffed alternator, just waiting to source another. Might need a bit of a tune up as well.
First thing after that will be to replace those tail lights, would be embarrassing to drive with those things on ;)

Hastings, sunny Hawkes Bay. Don't have to worry much about a leaky roof ;)

And if it does leak, I've plenty of experience as my 300zx drips on my right leg when it rains. Chinese water torture while driving  :o

Maybe there's a leak in the hull?

Jetboats are remarkable quick nimble piece of equipment. I'm glad you've likened my equally quick and nimble 300zx to one. I'm honoured.

Jet boats are also complicated and expensive to fix. Sound familiar ;D
