The pulsar was quick (fully forged running about 300bhp) but unreliable.
The white evo was about 370bhp and was brilliant.
The evo 8 was ok but I didn't like the 6 speed gearbox.
The S2000 was rubbish.
The red evo 5 is pretty standard and I plan to keep it that way.
My favourite was probably the white evo 5. I should never have sold that car

Because it's damned annoying. It's why you see quoted posts with 'snip' inserted. People comment on the content, but don't feel the need to clutter the page.
Picked this up today, impressed so far
Looks lovely mate- was going to pick one up myself but decided to pay off my £24k student loan first!
Can i ask what spec and how much you got it for?

I do like the Z, had a bit of a traffic light gp with one and it surprised me how well it was keeping up

My Legacy GTB was. I have the incomprehensible manual, tyre pressure note, stereo instructions and ... oh a Japan/New Zealand export/import certificate.
Was going to post a picture of the new alloys I put on her yesterday but one of them has already taken a stone chip
Well,a t least I've got over the 'christening' of them.*goes off grumbling*
Paying that off was a silly thing to do!
Lovely 350z though, proper bargains these days.
It's a 2007 GT, one owner, 30k miles. Paid £13.5k at a dealer - not bad price tbh!

Not really - its always better to have no loan at all, regardless how good the rate is - my earnings will go up in the region of £250-£500 pm because of it! Plus i have a jap car thats doing me fine at the moment
.Really looks in great knick (?sp) in that pic, an underrated colour too, a lot of bhp for decent money, i should have enough saved for one in the next 6-12 months

Why when the interest is paltry and if I remember correctly inline with inflation. It is far better to put that 24k lump sum into savings accounts/ISA earning you 3-4%.
If your loan repayments were between £250-500 then you must be on a 6 figure salary.
