[J0sh]

I quite fancy an RX8 to be honest. They look naugty in red or black.

 

[MaLicE]

rx8 is pretty much the same car engine is similar but it is different to the 13b thats in the rx7...

[cat171]

Those two 350z's are cracking. I like the older Z cars too, but I never really got into them.

I remember seeing a twin turbo'd is200 at a jap show a few years ago, it looked ace for a family bus. I've no idea what power it had etc.

 

[Ali]

Fwd'd to my old man! 240's! PURRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

 

[J0sh]

That IS200 just reminded me, look whats up for sale near me! Is it worth my time having a look?

[Ali]

What a load of fuckin bull.

 

[Ali]

What a load of f**kin bull.

James you have to understand the RX7 is the best Jap car ever made!...Everything else is 2nd or s**t

Try finding a UK supplier for Advan

 

[JT182]

Brilliant thread!
Car to own before I die: R34 GT-R in Bayside Blue. Mean looking things! Would love a Supra too, in black, and an RX-7 in black. Proper stealth!

Flol i guessed.

 

[MaLicE]

lol i have driven pretty much every model of skyline! a friends dad is waiting for his new gtr to be delivered and promised me a drive in it too, i know what im talking about when it comes to skylines!

the r34gtt hardly sold in japan hence being able to pick them up cheap! they have pretty much nothing in common with the gtr's and infact the chassis is pretty much a 200sx lol! the gtt isnt a bad car, but isnt in even the same league as a gtr!

 

[MaLicE]

oh that altezza is nice, the beams engine is supposedly really good!

 

[J0sh]

Altezza is nice, but with 91k miles id push it over 100k in no time. GTT might not be a GTR, buy cant turn your nose up Skyline looks and a 2.5 turbo with 280 bhp, can you? Would give most cars a good run for their money id of thought.

 

[MaLicE]

untill you park it next to a gtr and realize they look funny next to a real gtr lol! they are big cars too and heavy, maybe im being a bit harsh... i just dont like the r34 gtt lol

i would get a toyota chaser over one 1jz 500 bhp is piss easy similar size to a gtt and no one knows what it is, propper drift taxi!

 

[J0sh]

lol, but how often do you see an R34 GTR??? I think they look noice.

 

[MaLicE]

lol, but how often do you see an R34 GTR??? I think they look noice.

i see 2 round here fairly regular lol, and a new gtr pretty much every time i go fill up for fuel! also know of a 33gtr and a 32gtr so pretty often lol

get a chaser!

 

[bomber]

see 3 every morning on the way to work. 1 r33 gtr, 1 r32 gtr and 1 r33 gts. when i had my r32gtr there were about 5-8 gts' running around the place like flies, did my head in lol.

thats why i went for the GTR, id of wanted one had i got the gts anything. and the R34 gtt is wayyyy to narrow and long imo. im with malice on this one

 

[J0sh]

get a chaser!

Not a fan of 4 door busses really. If I was in the market for one, it would be one of those Altezzas. Quite like the idea of an EK9, theres a company who import them quite alot close to me, insurance is no more expensive than a UKDM DC2 and they cost about the same. Plus ive only ever seen one.

they seem too high aswell and the front end on them looks funny lol! glad u agree with me, there are f**k loads of liners around here isnt there lol!

 

[MaLicE]

 

[_Tom]

Malice speaks the Truth about GTT's. Theyre pretty pap. They dont drive ANYTHING like the GTR's. Fact. Also in comparison my stage 1 200sx used to pull and pull and pull on someone's "stage 1" GTT..


If you want 4 door pimp, I used to see this Mark 2 all the time. Its lush!

 

[1PBY]

Love that evo!!! Lap record holder round Tsckuba(I know its spelt wrong)!!!!

 

[Christopher]

Chasers are mint!

Proper doriftobarge!

 

[donphan]

That IS200 just reminded me, look whats up for sale near me! Is it worth my time having a look?

http://www.torque-gt.co.uk/cardetails.php?c=210

Defo worth a look! Has the beams blacktop in it which is supposed to be a better engine than the usual beams redtop! Rare car!

 

[philthy]

chasers suck balls - looks like a honda legend which can only be driven by old men, its the law.

 

[MaLicE]

never been in a chaser then lol, i know a guy running 500bhp on stock internals near me! bet it out accellerates most cars on here lol

 

[philthy]

Couldnt care less tbh, they look like s**t and will handle worse than a standard 172.
If one passed me, I wouldnt bat an eyelid.

 

[Englebert]

Same.... just 'cos they're JDM doesn't make them cool to me! Boring barge.

 

[bomber]

^ but on the other hand, an M3 is a boring barge to me lol





please dont hit me

[oz_clio]

have to add to this tonights experience. A ride in a charged DC5! I thought v-tec was good but with a JR charger on bolted on it was the most fun i had in a car in a long time, 320 brake!!

Will try get some pics up from my friends phone, thing is mental!

 

[sideways danny]

Phils old car is about as JDM as my peugeot
