Normally I would be but the new grown up & sensible me sees this as a better route I'll add a few of my own touches but the main thing that attracted me to this one was that it had pretty much most of the parts I had planned on buying myself

TBH I won't be doing a lot to it at all. Only plans for now are to replace the ICE with my own setup, replace the AFR gauge with my HKS one & replace the gauges with Defis. I might also change the front bumper eventually but I'm in no rush to do that

Nah my Z was 'only' 420hp This has lots of power low down, my Z never came alive until 5K RPM Turbos are much more fun

Dunno Not driven it yet. I didn't sort any insurance for it before going up so only had a passenger ride but holy @*!# its fast

Painted one

9.5 ET20 will be average fitment tbh, anything less than 15 is needed for flushness

I like

Can I set fire to it?

Hans RX7 in Tokyo Drift Is disgusting

Failside: Ruining cars since the 90s I don't think I've ever seen anything made by them thats even remotely half decent looking

Dunno if you've done one yet but theres a discount code for half price HPI checks (www.hpicheck.com) using code HPI50JUNE

I think I was the youngest here when I bought my first one Was a 21st birthday present to myself, 8 years ago

You buy cars, like most buy socks. Looks good though, will be a good wagon for getting around for work. Hope you don't have the 5k bills like the previous owner. I've still got a long list of cars on my "to own" list

Not too far from me then I'm in Caerphilly If you find a good sprayer then let me know, all the good ones seem to have vanished lately

Whereabouts in South Wales are you?

How does it compare (looks wise & up close) to the RSW kit you had in the Z? I've been tempted to get a few bits dipped in the past but never sure if it will look real enough up close

I'll tell you in a few weeks how the BMW is My short list & budget was pretty similar to yours, decided on the 525 though because out of all my possibles it was the best looking, best equipped & much nicer inside. Insurance is also pretty reasonable. TBH my car does need the rear bumper resprayed & it's got a few marks on the body but for £2k I'm not gonna grumble - especially when it comes with a folder full of service history & receipts for a few thousand spent in the last year (including water pump, viscous fans, belts etc.) I found the Mercs incredibly basic/boring inside, the Mondeo was just bland all round & a jag was too expensive to insure

Doesn't look too bad really. Pete Would look a million times better if the roof was the same silver as the body

He means like a targa top Keep the coupe but just make the roof removable Theres a few pics of it on my350z but I think they are photoshops
