hard pressed to find a standard... none abused one though, buy and plan for a rebuild would be a sound idea

agreed and thats the reason il never buy one, u never know if ur buyina sh1tter or not, but most prob will end up doing. best of buyin one as cheap as poss and basically rebuild the whole engine and being french its fairly cheap

Everybody moans about the head gaskets popping.
If you leave it standard and don't fuck with the boost you will have no problems at all
Sound little cars and any R5GTT still running these days has had to have had a certain level of looking after so I wouldn't worry too much.
Would definately recommend looking out for an un-modded one.

No idea
Because there are a lot of better ways to engineer an engine.

Interesting how you resort to calling me gay. How childish.

you're a child, how would you know anything?
You obviously don't understand the cult status R5GTT's have.
It's everyone over the age of 20 dream car when they were young, you idiot.
