this set-up, assuming it has a good fuel and trans will go tens with a good tune. My Gn has been my daily for about the last 6 weeks now, and it rides nice and is comfy. $9,300 seems a little high to me for that car. unless the body is mint. Hope this helps

See if you have the car taked to Boostjunkie and have him look over from what I understand, he knows a thing or 2 about the GN’s and such.

sounds like a great deal for you.

gnx is a lot more rare and had a few extra go fast parts from factory over a t-type. Tons of people make gnx clones out of them so it can’t be too hard if a gnx is the look you want. good luck

From the pics i do not like the air box is missing = no A/C = no fun to drive on the street :sadwavey:

you will hate the car after 1 hot day in it . as far as the asking price the 86 cars are not as wanted as the 87s . same car but the 87s are just better sellers for around $10k there are nice GNs out there and they will hold there price better then a TType . just my 2 cents . Shawn

I give the T Type the nod. . .

GNX is a whole different animal though…rear end suspension, collectibility, BIG price tag $40K+

Keep in mind these are 20 year old cars…cam sensors, crank position sensors, MAFS, and Master cylinders. . .

But in all honesty, I’ve had more fun with my T Type than any of the other cars I’ve had.

Not many people can turn on the cruise control, adjust their power seat, enjoy a smooth coil spring ride on the way to the track…then run a low 11 pass… then drive home and wait in line at the drive thru at Wendy’s for a Frosty…while getting 18 to 21 mpg
