  1. It can pass for a Japanese car. Slightly overstyled but still looks decent. I dont think theyll keep the side panels that doesnt look pedestrian safe
  2. lol looks better than a supra different category but still
  3. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/hot-hatch/watch-out-civic-type-r-new-mini-gp-get-300bhp 3000 Track Tested JCW to be released rated at 300bhp using a 4 cylinder engine. They are aiming for a faster time than 8:23 on Nordschleife. They have some work to do as the type R does 7:43. Not bad at all.
  4. Went from 350z. Had a civic beforehand. Thought about it for all of 4 weeks then bought one. Same goes with the 370. Went to see it at the show room then 2 months later got one. 370z was much smoother for me. 350 had a better seating position
  5. I watched the Top Gear Review where it caught fire. Its the same engine as the megane and detuned. Im sure its a good car. But 50k is steep for what it is. Steep for me anyway. Overall steep for a 4 pot 1.8. When the initial hype dies down. We'll see if there's any depreciation. Some say it will hold its value at 50k. I started to find Chris Harris annoying lately. His 992 911 review was as boring as he sounded. Hes full of cliches and a badge snob. Kept reminding us it was a Renault or at least theirs no Renault badge in sight or the makers say its not a Renault. Its used parts from Renault good to know and so on and so forth It seems a good car regardless of badge
  6. Unsightly.....man o mannn...reminds me of high school when the Design Tech teacher used to ask do you think this design is aesthetically pleasing. The answer is Hell No!! Lessons to be learned from this one I think. Z4 looks better. This is overstyled and busy.
  7. Yeah the APR makes it almost as expensive as buying brand new. With that APR a used TTS at £26k would be 34k by the time you finished due to interest. Then you look at BMW 24% combined on some used M2s lol. That takes it to 43k on some cars costing 32k. Right now the TTS are holding value well. But like the TTS and TTRS gone before (MkII) they will eventually depreciate into the teens Better off putting a bigger chunk and paying HP for 2 - 3 years. IE £15k then get rid after 3 years when it really starts dropping due to new mk4 shape I used to laugh at PCP/HP too. Then I thought who cares only live once. Get what you want! I did see one 1st week I bought the Nismo. He was stuck staring at me while doing 20 mph. But I had tints so he couldnt see me and sped off.
  8. the large ducktail spoiler and single vent front wing look good. That along with nismo rear diffuser/back bumper would be my ideal. See 370 isnt dead yet! Large Ducktail by them as well?
  9. Silver always looks clean, invidia sounds nice
  10. what about the Alfa 4C? slightly out of budget though.
  11. The Z will be a lot more rewarding to mod im sure
  12. As far as I know hes got a few bolt ons and tune. Fast Intentions exhaust, down pipe, carbon shaft + ECU Map plus some other bolt ons Claims to have made +160 whp and +200ft lbs over stock with tune and covered 10,000 miles Not bad for a car that weighs 1850kg. I think he wants to reduce the weight next. 600 bhp I think
  13. You mean Motorline?
  14. This can happen anywhere. Its probably due to economic reasons! A spate of claims, low uptake on insurance, many reasons.
  15. Follow me on Instagram Dreamer1566

  16. so what's it going to be? Not much out there that doesnt have huge repair costs or some issue or another. Have too live with whatever shortcomings your choice may have Mustangs do look good. The V8 sounds crazy. A rev off between that and the E92 M3. Something from the heavens
  17. jheeze.....and 145 in a 70? Would expect 9-12 months for that and a night in the cell. Depends on the day. Maintenance, what about an HR 08 09 as suggested earlier
  18. Saw that one this morning LOL. Seen couple ads where people are getting banned. Probably been ragged to the hills. The ad stated he had another project car. Interesting. Call and ask for the original plates. These guys and their private plates, messes up the whole process during sale. I had to wait 10 days to tax my 350z. He should change the plates back to originals now if its actually for sale! MOT history check and HPI from reputable site. See what hes been up to.
  19. pot luck with that. Extended test drive and just listening to the engine can help determine what state its in though
  20. haha come on dude, no ones competing with the US. The sheer numbers in places like California, Florida, Texas and New York. I've seen multi story 5 floor carparks brimming with just Modified Cars only on Youtube. We have a lot to be thankful for. USA and their car scene I saw the pink Zed with UK plates in one of those European meets. Its probably an old video though. Might be a bucket list to try get over to this in a few years time! Germany isnt that far lol This is international got people coming from Switzerland, Poland etc
  21. Leave it and keep looking. Youll find a better example
  22. The mpgs on the Mustang are similar to driving the 370Z in the city and A roads. 22 mpg is generous. There are a couple Mustangs around my area.
  23. Found a cool video. Apparently biggest Z meet in Europe is in Germany. People come from Switzerland, Poland etc to attend. Around 200+ Zeds from all eras. Im sure there are 100s more similar videos. LA, Wangan/Tokyo, Etc
  24. All club stand members got Zeds?
  25. You can get a GTR circa £30,000 - £33,000 but 2009 with a high mileage. Theres one on autotrader for £28,000 but with near 110,000 miles. Roasted.... Maintenance on those will be several grand a year. 25k was going to say Z4 M which I would consider and save the rest of the money. Cayman 3.4 older, Lotus, TVR but how reliable are they? My colleague had the v8 Aston. Said nice car great sound visiting the dealer servicing enough said. GTR servicing costs, tires, brakes plus extended warranty at Litchfields. Id say have a spare £3k -£5k handy at all times lol. The older the worse it gets.
