I have had a look at a couple of imports and am definitely losing some of my fear of buying one, I have made a list of the different import specs so I know what should and shouldn't be there. I'll have to search for any recommended importers (I've checked out JM-Imports and a few guys on the SXOC had good dealings with Newera).

Worked Sunday night as well so didn't finish until 08:30 Monday so can't sleep. See you caved and got the popcharger ordered, that's it you know, first toe on the slippery slope (maybe not take it as far as the MR2 turbo though, try and reign yourself in a bit this time )

Never took you for the stalking type Nick Anyway, I'll say welcome to the forum although I haven't been here long enough to get my coat off yet

Nick, I thought you'd be too busy sourcing your new wheels rather than stalking me on here I had another couple of hours with an S2K and have decided that fun though it was for a quick blast I couldn't live with it day in and day out with some of the trips I have to make. Still in a bit of a dilemma though over JDM/UK, I know you went JDM and will use the cash saved for mods and I can see the sense in that but having never gone down the import road before I'm still kind of leaning toward UK. Ah well, trying to purge my old brain of all the stuff I've picked up on the SX and trying to stuff it with Z info now David

I agree with the S2K's engine, great fun with 9k but that's the one thing that puts me off really I prefer bigger/torquey engines. Gonna really show my age now but one of my favorite cars that I've had was a 3.0 capri The thing I liked about my XR/Capri was that if I was just cruising about I could pretty much just stick it in 3rd and that was it. First gear for if I had to stop and then into third and just drive The reading continues.....

Well it'll be a coupe and my favorite colour atm is azure

Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated

Hi all, Currently own a modified 200sx (1995 S14) which although still running great is showing it's age in the bodywork department. I've been a member of the SXOC since it's original Coolboard days when we had about 15 members but it's time for a change. I'm looking for a new car as I've had the 200 for 10 years now and having test driven a few possibles (Monaro, Z4, 330, Boxter, etc) I think I've narrowed it down to an S2000 or a 350Z. I have a mate at work with a 350 JDM in black and he purposely parks it where I have to walk by going from one production area to another just to keep reminding me. I do tend to keep my cars for a long time, my previous car was a 1988 Sierra XR4x4 which I had for 10 years so I like to be aware of as much info as possible before I take the plunge. Anyway, I'll be reading up as much as possible as to which is the best model/options to look out for (looking at spending ~£20K) and then probably posting for some help if I can't nail down all the info I need.
