I don't know why I subscribed to this.
Genuinely the only car I regret selling, even with my current 182 and my Toyota Supra I miss this so much :(
I have held off spending anything on the 182 as I know I'll keep comparing it to this and then things will snowball
The one thing I will say is...
Want to swap for a FF 182 I miss this so much I’ve had a lot of cars but regret selling this one the most. I’m back in a clio but it’ll never compare. So many memories in URC too
I think about this car ALL the time. I miss it so much.
It is without doubt the only car I regret selling.
Really glad it’s back in good hands, seems you’re taking care and doing much the same as I would
I want another but I know how much I’d have to spend to get it to drive like that one again
I do indeed, this is a sad day for me! I actually asked the lad that bought it from me to let me know if/when he sold it. I wish I'd known as I'm actually in the position to get another
I spent a lot of money on it when I had it and it's still the nicest one I've driven.
Sounds like it's been...
He still has it @DaveDreads and I still have mine...and now we're housemates...the neighbours don't like us having two Supra's haha.
We completed a 2,000 mile European Roadtrip in it last summer and it was fautless...and EPIC!!!!!
Not much changed spec wise on Rob's, he'sreally just been...
Agreed, 2jz is epic BUT you're talking absolute rubbish when comparing costs I'm afraid mate. 'for about the same price I'd take a 2jz fd over a boosted clio any day of the week'
I don't know what a tidy FD is (complete minus the engine) but I'm guessing they must go for £3k+ ?
Then the 2JZ...
HAHA YES YES YES YES!!!
You're not lying, I have been moaning but for good reason and now CS (almost in it's entirety) has backed me up!!! Silver!!!
The other Matthew is right too though, the brighter the better. When I had mine done they were the brightest and you know they looked the mutts nuts!
Latest update - More bad news - Some nice purchases too though
So last night I made a purchase, a HKS Kansai lip, I deliberated a lot on the Lip for my car and finally settled on this.
The plan is to have it HydroDipped in Carbon Fibre, I don't know how this will hold up but it's worth a try...
Hi Andy, I still remember reading this thread when I was lurking (before I even joined the forum) a few years ago.
Since then I met you (and Le CBR) at a Black Mountain Run and have also seen the car a couple of times at BTM.
I have to say I'm full of admiration not only for the car but also...
Thank you. Do it mate, you will not regret it!
I can verify this (well I tried to watch the boost gauge but was pinned back in the seat haha) and it was a passenger ride in Rob's that made me settle on the same T61.
To be fair the 3.0 straight six has a (relatively) large chunk of torque even...
^ I was literally just about to add that lot to my earlier reasons haha. The NA-T power delivery is like nothing I've experienced before and that was just from the passenger seat :D I can not wait and as Rob says if my engine lets go then it's minimal costs to pop another NA lump in.
Not much of an update today.
I took my headlights
Put them in the oven...that's what ovens are for isn't it?
This softened up the glue allowing me to split the headlights
This means I can refurb the lenses and also "facelift" the insides meaning I'll spray them black other then the...
