[Ian_182]

Is the super stock V8 powered?

nop not got the funds to run that.

its a 2l zetec well it will be next season

What's the new daily, then?

Just using the Mrs GT86, things only done 8K miles in 2 years so needs some use.

Will need to get somit for pulling a trailer

 

[Mr R.]

A guy I know builds engine's for these.

Mike Lowman.

 

[Ja5on]

Not really been about them much to know the names. But I'll keep it in mind should I ever need it done.

 

[Ja5on]

Sooo. A few month on and the new towing vehicle is bought.

14 plate VW amarok with 5k miles

And the Superstox is getting picked up next week, roll,on next season

 

[Ali]

Gi's a shot boaby!

 

[Ja5on]

of the pickup......... anytime.

Superstox............ you sure you can handle it

 

[Ja5on]

The new stock car

 

[.GAZ.]

Kinda monies are in that, Boaby?

 

[Ja5on]

depends on the car mate. Ive bought that off one of my best mates, he's run it for 3 years and has bought a new one. So I got a bit of a deal. £4K and thats the car, spare wheels and spares parts.

A full race wknd in it will cost less than doing a trackday in the GTR or EVO haha

 

[.GAZ.]

LOL! Good going mate! Need to let us know when you're first race is..

 

[Ja5on]

Fingers crossed. Feb 28th. Lochgelly

Missed that message gutted fair enough pal, so your new toy is the stock car lol

 

[Ja5on]

Yeah mate.
To be honest I got bored with the GTR and wasnt prepared to pay the extra money to get it running on track how I wanted it

 

[thedjse]

Yeah mate.

Bored with a GTR?????? My all time fav car matey would you not of kept it for daily?

 

[Addicted]

A lot of people say they're boring sadly!

You'd think it'd all be fun and games, but it's probably "too easy" (in many different ways, getting up to speed, driver assists etc).

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

God mode for the road.

Fun for a bit, then you stop wanting to play the game because what's the point.

 

[Ja5on]

Bored with a GTR?????? My all time fav car matey would you not of kept it for daily?

yep bored. Dont get me wrong it get a huge amount attention and for sheer speed its just silly. Bit its a big car and for knockhill its not that great. Big tracks like Silverstone would be a different story.

Could of done, but we have the GT86 for a bit of fun and needed a car for towing the stockcar.

 

[Advikaz]

At least you can say you've done it aye.

I've never got the whole gtr thing. For much the same reasons as others have mentioned.

Part of the reason I love my bikes is because they're involving and it's actually me riding it etc.

Either way they're an engineering master piece for sure.

 

[Advikaz]

Hard to describe in words but I see a gtr as the same as watching f1 on TV.

Yeah you see it all but you don't get the whole "experience". If you know what I mean.

 

[Ja5on]

Dont get me wrong mate it can be very involving, especially when you have the boost turned up full and no aids on, thats how I usually ran it on track. But it was such a big car you couldnt really chuck it around. It was involving but not the involving I now want from a car

 

[.GAZ.]

@stoddie has just bought a brand new MY14 GTR.

 

[Ja5on]

yeah saw on FB he had.
