  1. Pay to enter the club, pay to get a drink, pay again to buy a drink for the suitor. Pay to take them somewhere else. Thats Porsche. Then Nissan you find out its the same sh7t. Basically theyve seen what others pay and youll pay that too. With Nissan theres aftermarket options....which are becoming more expensive anyway
  2. But you need a 67 onwards. Around £27000+. I opted originally for a 17 which was £590 mine now is £630.....Not exactly worth it for a car thats essentially 09 with minimal changes. If i was going for nismo again would be mk2 any year. Road tax wouldn't matter
  3. When the time comes (still early days) id be looking at a similar Cayman S or Boxster S to yours minus a few options. I couldn't afford a GTS realistically. Although the options in them are near complete. Maybe when im running the show at work 😂. Id be happy with a PSE, Sport Plus and Sports steering wheel etc. Not fussed about Suspension modes. Whats the advantage of PASM? Sport Chrono I prefer to press buttons in the center console. Makes passengers think this guy means business 😂. Ill have a look at your thread again!
  4. Hes only gone and factored in his finance. Also 1300 pound warranty vs £10k PDK is worth it in my opinion. Its still a mechanical thing that could go bang. My history of Germans tells me its silly to buy out of warranty. Running costs seem similar all things considered bar a few items that could sting out of warranty.
  5. It is an OEM plus type exhaust. Can probably get longer custom tips to make up the distance. As they say in London. "You guys are moving mad".
  6. Tbh thats the going rate from a specialist not random steve from East is West scrapyard. Could also consider VR30DETT but youll spend more on extras at least it will be an interesting project. 😉
  7. VW aka Porsche AG now have a partnership with Rimac with Rimac having 55% plus controlling stake. To develop the next Bugatti which will probably be hybrid or electric (Bugatti Rimac project). Theres a video of a former formula 1 driver driving the Rimac. Crazy power. No soul though Crazy cars missed a trick by not becoming a motoring journalist. I have to admit Chiron does look good. Id still take the Chiron all day everyday. W16 deep rumble than the clattering and lack of sound...Rimac is for once in the summer on a proving grounds with a winding track in the middle.
  8. Been looking at these lately. Whilst at uni the Cayman 987 was very popular back in 2010/2011. Somewhat common in my area. 10 years later the 981 seems to have been steady above 30k. Boxster being slightly different in prices. These are 12 to 16 plates.. Im hearing the 718 isnt quite the same but more refined and modern. I have a feeling the 981 will become more valuable than the 718. Cayman 981 kept steady pricing for the last few years Also on enquiring about warranty from Nissan on the Nismo they wanted a cool 700 plus pounds for 12 months warranty while porsche charge around 1300 pounds for 24 months. In terms of running costs are both cars similar? As Servicing Nissan costs around £400 to £500 per annum. Depending on what needs doing more reasonable service costs can be found at Porsche or at Indies. Wheels are 19s and 20s mainly. Driving dynamics they say Porsche is superior. The steering rack is hydraulic on the Nissan but balance is probably better on Cayman with Boxster being heavier due to the roof?! Also adaptive suspension doesnt bother me but most come with it.
  9. LoFi? Silvia hint look closely
  10. It depends some places are charging up to £300 per panel and other places £100 for spraying....on cars where colour match is a problem yes. Otherwise its cheaper to respray and not tailgate lol Nowadays its cheaper depending where you go. Its usually all cut up on a software.
  11. Shell for me made my exhaust louder and pop more when hot. Tesco was smoother not as much noise. I always preferred Tesco as it was on average 10-15p cheaper per liter.
  12. Had someone whose going Fi shut me down when mentioned CAI dont do anything. I think the Stillen G3 add some gains. Out of all the exhausts ive heard short tails resonated seem to sound the best from outside. They are somewhat boomy inside. But for tunnel blasts they are perfect. Its ok as I can get them off after summers done for 20 quid so not a biggie. Also for long distance driving probably not for everyone. Ppl speak of noise but my brothers 2015 911 carrera was as loud as resonated short tails from factory. As that has the PSE....Each to their own though.
  13. I had 2 Nismos and a 350.....370 is more refined and smoother drive. I have an auto but the manuals are smoother due to synchro rev.....I have a 12 plate auto paid 17k now worth around 16 . All the same thing tbh...i could have gone for a cheaper one prices were all over..the money saved in road tax is repaid in the cost of the car...Oil Gallery shouldn't be an issue after 2011. I dont know I dont have a pressure gauge. Garage can check it. Considering selling mine as might want to try something else. 19 plate its the same car but newer and updated maps, wheels. etc
  14. You might want to keep your head on a swivel, Michelin man loves throwing tyres for no reason.
  15. Surely it was butchered from day 1 according to you. I doubt a widebody kit changed anything. Guy thinks hes cool being an antagonist...Take the L, youre still reeling those rumours turned out to be true. I sense some angst after another member schooled you. So bad youre crew were crying weeks later. Thought you got over that Michelin Man 🤣😂🤣🤣
  16. Subjective.....One day, Ekona and the crew will cheer up. Maybe theyll have something positive to say.
  17. Rocketbunny Pandem Widebody Does look clean in Black.
  18. Yeah we will see. Then you got other cars like the new M240i, c63 and TTRS even GTR which are around similar price. Protos available right now for last few weeks. £59k https://www.goo-net-exchange.com/php/search/summary.php Split grill only available in Japan. For now https://jalopnik.com/dont-like-the-nissan-zs-face-youll-be-able-to-change-i-1850011955
  19. Looks good in White. Sounds better than other exhausts I heard.
  20. I think a guy on this forum had it previously. Looks like the one. Several owners
  21. Yeah will see how things go. While the R8 club is tempting. 14 year wait for me can be over. New penny jar on the way. Lets see how much coin is amassed ha. Depends cuz the 12 is not massively more expensive than 09. Id want a stock AF one with few owners. Id prefer a 12 to 15 ideally. There was a supercharged Nismo for 30k for sale for a while. Im sure another will pop up eventually I suppose you could Supercharge one for 10k but you may only get half back.
