if i was going to buy an fb i would be saving up some more and buying one from £2000 to £3000. really, really mint ones from Japan would set you back £5000 upwards, but then no rust issues and you get the Jap spec fb's, later models had the 12a turbo or early 13b engines.
you only pay in the long run really so better buying a really good one at the start. check out the blue s2 on ebay.
yeah spoddy, ill keep an eye on the ebay for one in england..seems to be the most viable option as they are so rare down here..
