that was me!

Thanks for the replies all, obviously there's a big backing for the Z which I can understand, got some serious thinking and saving to do LOL. Fitting wise how much would an S/C install cost??

All,

The time has come for me to decide my future with the Z, and its a tough decision to say the least!

I am looking for better performance, I want more. specifically acceleration, not just from standing but once rolling (legal speeds on public road obviously, and some track use).

Now here are my options...

S/C my Z which I know is expensive but I'll get on to that in a bit, or...

buy a different car, likely to be an impreza (Hawkeye or hatch)

Now to justify why I would boost the Z:

The looks - I can't get enough of the car and how it looks

The car - I love it just wish it was faster

not as mainstream - Scoobs are popular, even my dad has one.

Now to justify the scoob:

Performance: probably easier to make quicker for less plus Awd

in the family: dad knows all there is to know about imprezas

cost: May work out cheaper than boosting the Z

I know the impreza I'm looking for has a poor engine, I'd buy a forged one or have enough to get it forged after buying, my dad's is forged so I know what's what etc.

Question is what do I do? The impreza would be a weapon, driven my dad's running 350/380 and its insane fun, would the zed with similar/more power be as fun/fast??

Help guys!

Insurance shouldn't be a problem, got mine at 20 after coming straight from a 1.2 clio for £800 fully comp mods declared, 7K will get you a good example 8k for a mint one

Followed you in and gave each other thumbs up, car sounded nice man

glad to hear that mate

You waved today at junction 3 of the M3, car looked and sounded awesome!

Hello

You'll love it im sure, good luck in your search

Looks nice welcome mate

Saw you earlier by the Abbey wood roundabout, had a nismo v2 front bumper looked nice!

I wasn't being, I was being serious, why tell a potential buyer false information? It doesn't help.

no i agree with what you said, but its the sarcy comments about his other posts that weren't needed

Great cars to own, if you have a little extra cash try and go for a later sub 50,000 car and if your feeling really flash get the HR313 as it has the better engine , pre march 2006 cars cheaper by 1/2 on road tax and

going for around 5K with 60,000 on clock and they are good for 150,000 before things go south if not look after. the cars generally go through a few hands as owners can be a bit fickle with changing markets so don't let this put you off.

 

The cars are great to own and generally bullet proof but please look out for dodgy cooling fans not running up to speed as these are not mentioned on most advisory checks pages.

 

Also if I was you try and stay away from the Jap import (FAIRLADY Zs) and get a uk (350z) main reason is insurance can be twice as much and some parts are not easy to come by, also there is no advantage over the Uk spec although a few Z anoraks on the forum may correct me but yes great cars to own however may not feel quite as light on its feet as a integra as the car is more of a all rounder with a huge lump up front and great fun in a straight line if your careful.

No offence, but please ignore everything that was just said right there....

 

so the person who didnt know what fuel to put in a 350z is giving buying advice? is that why

And didn't know if he could leave his car outside professional right here

so many bitches on this forum, hand bags away ladies

i think everyone just needs to chill, it was a valid question from someone who clearly wants to know whats best for his pride and joy.. whats wrong with that?

on a side note mine is left outside every night and has been fine,

I'm here to please

But seriously buy a black one lol (not biased or anything)

Black is the fastest colour

Was in the process of tuning my dads car this month when we got the news. R.I.p Simon.
