And a red one at that, makes it all the rarer.

was so worth finding and doing its got such a retro drive about it
you actually feel like your driving it and not just sat in the drivers
seat being taken for a drive.ive had all 3 fours and the 165 ticks
all the right boxes for what i wanted. right think i,m going to go
down and give it another polish

[paul_gt4]

class man all the best with it looks very well.

[karbon]

looks the nuts mate, well worth the effort, and another glorious 4 on the road.

She's a beauty. I hope you have fun with her.

looks very nice and tidy, almost makes me want to get one myself lol. I'd love a 165 but there just arent many around here. You done any engine mods? Whats its current spec?

Brill....so good to see people driving and looking after 165's still....

I had a look around not too long ago and couldn't find a single 165 for sale. These cars a re sooooo rare now becasue people didn't look after them (and most were rot boxes)

Welcome to a very exlusive club   Enjoy

Noticed yours has a few import mods? JDM rear lights and the front fogs 

PS, just like to agree 100% with you when you say the 165 is the best. I've driven many many 4's over the years, 205 - 185 and of course 165. The 165 is a little underpowered but with the right power and better brakes is deffo the best out of the three by a country mile   lower weight than the others and the best chassis

totally agree wiggy the jap bits(rear lights are now uk again) came from mad gaz,s old 1
i had 3 165s to find a good 1 but shes a cracker sills and arches are mint behind the kit just rack arms to buy and fit then the brake uopgrade to do and she,ll be perfect to drive obviously a bit underpowered but that will come in the near future.going all faff now engine box diff etc just looking for a smashed 1 on the cheap 
this is my 8th gt4 while the faff is a good car its not quite what i wanted but the 165 was.just taking the best bits off the faff to put onto the best gt4
funnily enough ive used no 185 bits

[Wiggy]

yep, same here....lol No 185 bits in there 

If you need any help with the 205 conversion (splicing the looms etc) give me a shout and I'll happliy help out where I can 

[bazza2541]

I said it many many times before and I'll say it again now. 165s are the business, all other GT4s are simply parts cars.
