[Englebert]

That is mental. I love it. Wish kept the pop ups though...

 

[MaLicE]

lol turkish, i saw one the other day and got all excited and shouted "A CUBE" gf wasnt impressed but the milf driving it got excited and was talking to me about it, let me sit in it.... felt like a prick but i really really want one! if i lived in cali i would have one dropped as low as it would go on some old cherry blossom rims, car in white, red centres on the rims and VIP spec inside lol!

 

[Gaz.]

Cressidas are so cool.

[Christopher]

That Roadster is f*cking AWESOME.

 

[Ian_182]

 

[Mr Burns]

I'd give up driving fast to own that Cube lol.

 

[Ian_182]

I just dont get the cube's at all...

 

[Gaz.]

I really struggle to see the appeal of them. At least they're not a Rasheen I suppose.

 

[Ian_182]

 

[Mr Burns]

Love that ^^

Silly question...

What's the difference between a Datsun 510 and an old Skyline? I know that Datsun and Nissan are tied together but I don't know how you determine between the two. Is the Skyline a sports version of the 510??

 

[theduck]

Shell is almost identical, which is why there are so many Skyline replicas made from 510s. Skyline is as you say, a sports car based in the 510.

Thats how I understand it anyway, I will now be ripped to pieces by Christopher and Malice...

510:

Skyline:

 

[Christopher]

Different chassis and body, despite looking very similar.

Both shared L Series engines & drivetrains. C210 Skylines were longer wheelbase and had a couple of engines that weren't shared by the 510's. S20 for one... a decent, genuine S20 lump nowadays is nearly as much as a whole 210 Skyline GT. LOL

S20's were bespoke L20's. Like the difference between Honda's B16A2 in the VTi & B16B in the EK9. Only more so. A 2l straight six, that revved to over 9k, in the early 70's. Epic.

 

[Gaz.]

The sooner you buy a Japanese car the better Chris.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Innit.

 

[Gaz.]

Might get rid of mine after next year's outage. Soph wants an RB phase 2. Swap ya?

Not sure I like her enough to swap the SX for a Clio for her though!

 

[Christopher]

I really wanting a Mark II, nowadays. Just for the lols.

Either that or stick to the EK plan. Went to view one for Si (Turkish) in September and it gave me the bug all over again.

 

[Gaz.]

I'm toying with the rwd saloons too. Do the Mark II, EKs are nice and all, but they're becoming a bit like Mk1/2 golfs. You see projects of them sprouting up all over the place.

 

[Christopher]

Verossa? Bit different.

There's only been one on Driftworks, I think. They are still quite new though.

 

[Gaz.]

There's only be one for good reason, even Stevie Wonder knows they're ugly.

 

[Christopher]

Ugly cars are awesome. LOL.

Got fitment?

 

[Gaz.]

Epic Wheels.

 

[Christopher]

More Cube love.

 

[Christopher]

Ballin'.

 

[Mr Burns]

My mate has recently bought a black EK9 with red Recaros, he's added a few import mods like strut braces and induction stuff. I didn't really know what all the fuss was about as I'd been told they were very similar performance-wise as a Clio Sport.

Once I had a go in it all became clear... Want.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, they're properly addictive.

 

[Turkish]

Depending on when you look to go to an EK fella if I've bought one I may due to circumstance have to shift it on within a 12month. Will keep you posted.

 

[Christopher]

Since we're both fussy c*nts, I'd be up for that!

 

[DaveW_cup]

Thread needs more EK9'age!

 

[Gaz.]

About 50% of the whole thread is of EK9s!

 

[edgeydt50]

I would take a Scion over a Cube.

Technically the Scion wasn't JDM rather USDM so would have to be the Toyota bB it was based on.
