Great combo! I love the TX3. Can I ask how much you paid?
$15k. No idea if that's a good or bad price since they're so rare but it's original and mostly in pretty good shape as far as I can tell. Taking it to a mechanic tomorrow to get inspected/serviced so hopefully I don't find out otherwise.

There's another one on marketplace at the moment listed for $20k which I also checked out. He indicated he'd accept $15k as well but it was a bit less original and had some panel alignment issues. It was also great fun to drive though.

Thanks mate. I’d pay that for such a fun iconic car. At least it’s in the hands of someone that appreciates it.

So what sort of fuel economy are others getting.
So admit you I’m just in the run in process so I’m not bouncing of limiter or anything. But still do some hill runs and a few nice pulls.
Ie not hypermiling or anything.

I was expecting to be in the 12s

but I’m in the 9’s and dropping!

Those that swapped wheels.

did you move Tpms sensors or get new ones.
And if new where did you get them.

I’m keep to get new ones for the new rims so I don’t need to dismount the tires on the old ones.

What are you doing with old wheels?

Thanks!

Here’s one for some Aussies.

Yokohama, Toyo or Michelin Pilot Sport 4/5S tyres for when I need new ones? Of course the Michelins will be the grippiest…
