Guys, I really really love my R53 but I feel as if my debt level is getting low so I REALLY like the idea of getting into a GP2.
1. Where in the hell do I find one
2. How awesome are they
3. I saw one a while back for 20k-30k is that how much they usually go for?

Do you like timing chain problems.
Guys named mario
and women with hot pink thongs sticking out of their pants, if so a GP2 might be for you.
Always awesome, my debt level is getting low, lets sign up for more.
maybe its the weed.

Just not having that shiny in your wallet.
You know whats shiny a race header. Or a cam. R53s are better to drive in nearly every way.
I say that from the standpoint of having driven a GP2 real hard out at the dragon. Its a fantastic car.
Id keep my R53.

Well i was thinking about this today.
The throttle response will never ever be good enough for me with a turbo.
Especially one that makes the kind of power i would want in a mini 300 to 350. 400 is fun but really not needed for a street car.
plus the R56 motor is essentially a bucket full of dicks drowned in astrolube. its great for some people just not others.
I also like motors that turn some RPM, the R56 motor im not sure will ever be happy doing it.
I mean, Jan could get it to happen but because its such a freakshow inside its going to cost some money to do it.
The R56 head shows some really promising shit on the dyno, but its going to mean if you do that a turbo swap is a must to get the best out of it.
So how much debt do you want.

Well Colin I think I'm experiencing a pretty early set midlife crisis so enough to silence the pain

I've found that a $75k R52 build will cure that shit real quick
