Hi all,
So I saw this on collecting cars and realised I had to have it, so I got it 😬
My Clio 172 cup is staying for a bit too as I can’t bare to part with it. Just some pics of my new toy - I love it!

Yes I did - only 20 left or so and its in great condition - the guy I got it from rebuilt it and couldn't see any issue why it was CAT D - I was happy! It drives so good and is brilliant fun

Wow that is a lot of money. As long as your happy.

They are legendary cars. I remember the whole front end used to lift up when thrashing them

Yes so very happy! I've already had about 3 people ask to buy it and for more than I paid. The guy who sold it to me said it took him a year to find a normal non cut front bumper!

I now need to find a base for the cup and keep that in good nick too.

It's a car older than me, to only be cat D means it's held up better than I have 😂

There's only one way for the value of these, it's up and the coolness factor is following at the same rate!

hahahahhahaha good point!

I remember loving these on the first Gran Turismo game!

It gets people waving at me at random when driving which is funny

Prices for this stuff are going mad, so hopefully it will be a decent investment.

It looks great. Think I'd have to change the wheels for something a bit more period rally style personally, as I don't think the ones on it do much for it.

Yes good point - I was thinking the same actually and was going to give it a small drop.

The list is:

Get new stereo as don't know the code and its tape deck
Give it a proper detail
Different wheels
Small drop

And then just enjoy for summer and hide it away at winter
 
Absolutely love them and one of my childhood heroes.

Oddly enough, I've never shipped one to the US and I've shipped a LOT of jap classics.

I always dreamed of finding a winter green one.

Off topic but what do you do? I got a supra I’m gonna sell soon so thinking of US market.
 
100% the move.

Loads of the guys on the s15 forum are already sending theirs over for stupid money ($50k+) :ROFLMAO:

I ship for a company called the Supra Market. They buy Supras here for £50k then...

I work in shipping but work with a lot of US buyers who purchase vehicles in the UK, we collect and ship to them.

Any jap vehicle in the UK over 25 years old should be advertised as US exportable tbh. They're even starting to buy all the cheap 1.4 Civic EK's

Thanks all for the comments - if anyone is ever in the Sevenoaks area I'll gladly take you out for a spin!

The turbo noise is addictive and it likes fuel haha

Absolutely mega that, probably my favourite car on the forum.

On the topic of selling in the USA, a lad in Scotland has agreed a sale for an R34 in bayside blue for north of 350k i’m told for when it turns 25. These maniacs across the pond are actually queuing up to pay it it seems. Mad b******s.

That's very kind, thank you!

I think the Pulsar might end up over there then, but to be honest I don't know if I could for a while yet

Doesn't surprise me at all. You only have to watch the likes of Adam LZ, TJ Hunt etc on YouTube. They've created massive hype about JDM cars over there. People are going absolutely bonkers for them. Good for current owners I guess, but bad for anyone that wants to buy one.

I've heard there are loads of R34s in the US that are being stored ready for when they turn 25.

Is it standard? Nice to see an intact front bumper too!

I think it might be slightly tuned as its very very quick - I think 280 or 290

I might get my mate to drive my cup to some Clio shows and I'll bring this too!

I remember these so well back in the 90’s. Chap down the end of our village had one. It just looked a different level of Aggro than any other car of its time. I remember, back then, being shocked a car that small being so powerful…before being tuned. Shows how far the world has moved on now, but that was probably 25 years ago at least

I too remember them being loud whilst in my mothers womb.
