Hey guys.

Just need a little advice from those guys who know a bit about the st185 grp A rallye. What sort of problems should I look out for? Tips on driving - this being my first turbo, though I did drive it back from sydney. Still haven't got used to the clutch or the noises. That boiling sound from the intercooler was a bit worrying to hear the first time I switched off.

I'm getting it serviced tomorrow at my local toyota dealer (logbooks you know) but I got the impression that they may not have worked on this type of car before. Plus i had some bad dealings with them in the past. Anyone know an experienced dealer in south bris?

What sort of oil is best? I've got some magnatec which i think should be good enough but what is best? What sort of things should I be looking at regularly besides that dipstick I burned my finger on. Damn it gets hot under there!

Any input will be most welcome. She is stock standard except for the 17" speedy mags and the brand new Viper 791XV alarm Very Happy
