Thanks
There are some significant improvements that have been made on the M8. It also includes upgrades like the K Factory shock towers and LX shocks too. Although it does not have the centre CVD's ??

The M1B TURBO is a really good car ................. it's the one I have

But you would have to buy the Shock towers and Shocks as mentioned above to improve the suspension set up and thats a $200 + investment (USD)
Without a range of upgrades like those mentioned, on an M1B Turbo. + the chassis stiffeners different rear arms ETC. I would say go for the M8. It's not alot more then the $300 (USD) your thinking of putting up for the TURBO!!?

The thing is with the TURBO's and also the M1B is that the owners have probably alot of money invested if they got the car from new as it was a little overpriced. So most are trying to get some of that money back. I should know.....I have a Turbo, with upgrades on and the car stands me at around $900 USD without the electronics !!!!

But I know I would not really expect to get any more then $250 for it??!!!

Crying shame but there you go. If it's any consilation......its the fastest car out there !! You can get it to handle just as good or better then the competition. You just have to work on the car to get it to work.

All the best
