natehd9 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Good morning! Just thought i'd introduce myself as a potential future owner, I currently drive a (tatty) 1991 Honda civic (trumpeted dual carbs sound amazing!) and am part way through building a 1989 CRX as well, obviously these are both FWD and have (slightly) lower power than the Z cars, but hopefully you won't hold that against me! I had the idea of purchasing a 350 after getting my new job, initially I was looking at the GT86, but can't afford to buy one outright and the finance deals are alright but require massive deposits (the cost of a decent 2004 350!) and then have an even bigger final payment, so I forgot that and started looking at other affordable options, I've always liked Nissans, but never really thought to own one, I was fumbling through classifieds (as you do...) and found myself looking at 350s, looked at insurance costs and was pleasently surprised, I've since got myself a little excited and have been working out running costs, servicing, how much work i could do myself, blah blah blah... So yeah, I just thought I'd sign up so I can access all of the previously hidden parts of the forum and do some more research. I probably won't be getting a Z for a while as I'm going to be welding and painting the civic before getting rid of it (never like to leave a job unfinished!) but will be lurking and absorbing information! Thanks for having me, and I look forward to utilizing this site! Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natehd9 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks for all the welcome messages, surprised I haven't had more of a ribbing over the Hondas if I'm honest! Hopefully sorting my finances, selling off the civic and I'll be on the market for a 350 in the next few weeks, should be driving one by October!
