Hi guys,
My girlfriend is due in November with our first child
This now means I have to find a suitable family car.
I want a car that has 4/5 doors, but can also do a sub 9m nurburgring lap time.
Been looking at scoobys for the past few weeks. - bug/blob wrx up to around the £5k mark
Then will spend a fair amount on suspension setup/brakes/tyres.
Not looking for front wheel drive.
Is there realistically anything else that fits the bill?
-
I did!
They're for something else! Which I'm sure will be hated on here!
But rays are lights, and good 18" wheels!
£800 for rays?! That's mad!
-
Hi,
I'm after a set of rays. Doesn't matter if they need a refurb or don't have tyres as they will be resprayed and my own tyres fitted.
Many thanks,
-
Seems really odd to just list 4 days as green hell?
is it to attract more attention/tourism? .... so on the flip side it will be really busy.....?
-
Hi guys,
Me and a few friends are going nurburgring in may, 1st-4th, but its listed as a green hell driving day? not tourist days?
basically, is it a pre book thing? or can you just turn up and pay for laps and drive?
All our ferries are book so getting kind of worried.....
Cheers guys.

Wow! Think people took this a bit too seriously!!
Yeah I had a play with a 350z, and tbh, there wasn't a lot in it.
I think on a track that there wouldn't be much of a difference in time of who crosses the line first.
I think the term 'race' was a little out of context for what we were doing.
Accelerating onto dual carriageways etc, not street racing.

Like I said, me and my girlfriend done it in a brand new 2014 Chevy impala 3.5l v6, really nice car, had a lot of space in boot for suitcases.
If we could have done it in a camaro / challenger / mustang we would, but were under 25, so most companies won't let you rent them under that age.
Still, a good trip to do. Would do it again tomorrow if I could!
-
So, i found out last night that a 350z can't escape me, and they can see my lights fade away in the distance
-
I've done it last month, over 3 weeks.
Started in Chicago and went to la.
Amazing thing to do.
Had a 2014 Chevy impala 3.5l v6.
Lovely!

Went out for a hoon in it last night for the first time properly!
My word, it's wonderful! Tops out at about 120, but it gets there quickly.
Definentley showed up an old type R, Porsche boxster and many many diesel audis/bmws. Which, by no means is hard, but the thought of those faces, after aspiring to a diesel Audi/BMW, to be slaughtered by a 1989 heap of junk.
I think the best moment this week was when I showed a friend who said "I thought when you buy a new car your supposed to get something better?" Changed his mind after a few minutes of being in the passenger seat!
Handles really well, and getting into/sitting in the power band is a nice place to be.
The seats unfortunately lack holding your body in the bends. But apart from that its fantastic.
And it's more fuel efficient than the zed!

Yarp!

Rebuilt from ground up.
not a single rust spot. absolutely mint.
And yeah, minimal money! Really happy with the purchase!
the ATS cups aren't really my cup of tea either. But they'll do for now.
Looking at the BBS RS. shame they're so god damn expensive for the real thing!
Ive got spacers already!
And yeah, suspension and brakes all working fine - need some uprated stuff, but again, they'll do for now!
-
Build Spec;
G60 engine rebuilt top and bottom
Ported head
Ported throttle body
Stage 4 JMR charger
Magnacor leads
Supersprint 4-2-1 manifold cat delete
Seat Toledo 2.25 exhaust system fits a treat
Windige tray
Sns chip 3.5bar fuel reg
Recirt boost delete
Jabba sport induction kit
Rally intercooler and elbow
68mm pulley.

Its absolutely mint! And stupidly quick.
Much more fun to drive than the zed.
And yeah, my mate who built this from ground up spent 7-9k, I got it for a fraction of that! Winning!
I'll get it dyno'd and see how much is actually going on under there!
-
Well, the biggest car change I think I have ever made!
Going from 2 door to 4 door.
RWD to FWD
N/A to supercharged
2005 build year to 1989 build year
Electric windows to keep fit windows
Aircon to sunroof
Nissan to VW!
So yeah... Quite a change! Have I done the right thing? Who knows. There are many reasons for the swap; needed to clear some debts - have a company car coming next month, so don't really want a 350z sitting on the drive depreciating in value when I'll drive it once every few months. Etc.
Yes, it looks ugly. - my girlfriend has refused to be seen in it, my parents think I'm stupid, and all my work have looked at me and said "you sold your last car for that?!" But for some reason I love it.
It's had a G60 engine conversion with a supercharger. It's mental. It's been round the 'ring aswell!
Plus, rust free! - had a Vw specialist look over it who said it was one of the best examples he had ever seen! Not bad!
Anyways - I've been laughed at enough times. So here are the pictures for you!
