robbie j Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hi All I'm a mod on the GTR forum and for my multiple mid life crysises purchased a R33 GTR 4 odd years ago and a JDM R35 last year. (No kids dual income blah blah...). Now my wife is going thro the same thing. 2 GTR's is a little much, the shopping kart is a clean blobeye Subaru WRX. I'm keeping the R35 the R33 GTR is now producing 450BHP and a lot of fun but parking all this in the space we have is not easy. (So...I'm getting to it) The wife likes the 350z and the S2000 (so do I) thinking of swapping to pistonbroke's S2000 as he wants a R33 GTR but I've spent so much on it... chopping in the WRX and keeping both GTR's and a getting a 350z would make me a Nissan diehard... Enjoyed driving the 350z on a drift thing at silverstone I tried a S2000 from a local dealer, I like it but after a GTR it felt a little weak on performance. Even the WRX has 265BHP and turbo urge... Would anybody part ex 4 door family wrx for a roadstar? I hate selling cars and trading in you lose so much. (I still like the look of pistonbroke S2000) sorry for the long first post R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Gonna be nigh on impossible to find a roadster owner wanting a WRX in exchange imo............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 there must be somebody who is having a kid and needs rear seats.... thanks for the welcome Just thinking off the top of my head and I'm struggling to think of one owner who sold up for a scooby, a few have for Evo's......might be easier and quicker to sell up and just buy a zed?

martinmac Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum. Always worth a try and we will keep an eye out for someone who may go for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie j Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 yes selling up might be the only option.... but which one R33 or WRX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hoff Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I would be tempeted to go back to my Impreza roots but the Scooby WRX's are not worth much now days, you would need to stump up a lot of cash my way to make it worth considering. Post some details of your car to gain more interest, mileage, colour, mods etc ...picutres are always good too. Hoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Welcome to the forum The only thing with the S2000 vs. 350Z is the S requires a lot of revving to keep it going and can get tiring to drive. It's also a lot older car (design wise). I can't think of anyone that has gone from Z to S2000, but know we have plenty having gone from S2000 to Zed. More details on the WRX might help someone decide if they're up for the swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbie j Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 these go for around the 8K mark ie 7K for higher mileage, 9K at a dealer, they are more popular than the ugly bugeye, this is round when they won the WRC so its a good year. The bugeyes loose a lot of value because they are not so nice to look at, that said its not that pretty no issue sticking a extra 5K for a roadstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
