Enough!

You can buy a cheaper GT and add the GT-R lips and spoilers for far less...

That minter in the pictures with the 400R and the digger, isn't a genuine GT-R, for example

how much do these beauties go for?

Real GTR's with the 2000 Twin Cam six, is between 50K£ and 100-150K£ for a really mint one.

The replica ones (most of the ones i posted) with a 3L L6 straight 6 (same as in the 240Z fairlady) is around 20-30K£ Really nice ones kan go for more.

LOL

I actually seem to be one who likes the new STI, but really DO NOT WANT the above.

Christopher · Jan 26, 2009

Concur.

DO NOT WANT.

Jun, or not.

There are some proper evil ones a few pages back...

Naith · Jan 26, 2009

I went up against a new one yesterday in trafford park, they do not handle like i thought they would but they have stupid traction out of corners...

all in all it just looked floppy and soft. driver was a cocky pr1ck too.

I DO like them in blue tho, the looks never really bothered me, they look like they are designed for a purpose and I kind of like that.

Moby · Jan 26, 2009

I'll get my coat ..

Christopher · Jan 26, 2009

LOL

If it were white and had better wheels, it'd be nice!

Moby · Jan 26, 2009

Better? Not technically JDM tho - frowned upon UK variant!

Naith · Jan 26, 2009

Or wider wheels?

Suggestions? - thinking of getting some new rims this summer.

Badly needs the front fogs now I think.

Have you got the same wheels that the car in Evo was upgraded to?

very nice - just googled that.

Bronze is the way to go I think.

Yup - pretty much everyone bought those Prodrive GT1's in Anthracite hence why I'm thinking of changing

Daylight pic of them

I like the new scoobys, as Welsharab said, they where made to a hatch batch for it to be quicker in rallies.

Then they go and pull out

My primary school teacher had a car like that.. a Bluebird IIRC. He was so tall his head stuck out of the sunroof, seriously!

I think they are really smart. Think about it for a second, how many do you actually see around? I've NEVER seen one on the road to your spec.

Its the same as the Turini argument, of course you're going to see them if you got to a Clio meet FFS! On the road however, you probably won't see another for a long time if at all.

That's a fair shout actually. The money could be better spent elsewhere - Coilovers perhaps.

Cheers.
