Edit: Any idea how many turbo GPXs are in existance? I know about 4 of them (1 in the UK, 2 in Oz and 1 in Japan). And when I am on the subject what about turbo GRs and GS? I'll ignore the engine swaps at the moment :D (6A13, 6A13T and 4G63)

Do you know what engine/gearbox they have?
I know Scracy's car is a 4 speed tip GPX and the Red GPX done by RPM was also a tiptronic (I guess it is 4 speed). In the UK I know of a Turbo GR (5 speed manual), Turbo GPX 4 speed tiptronic, Evo transplant in a manual GR, Turbo 6A13 manual and a supercharged 5 speed tiptronic. The other Turbo GPX I know of is in Japan and it is a manual.

I also know of a turbo GR, manual. It is in the Brisbane or Sunshine coast area I think.

i was also told by some sources that the car was notoriously 'overboosted' by the previous owner... i dunno the what the exact boost levels are of Al's car but it still seems to be hanging together in one piece, so at least i know what to expect for mine, if all goes well that is.... ;)
