azcry Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi all, reached the great milestone of 50,and thought i would treat myself to a 350z, always been a fan since the car first appeared, but could never afford one,and now at 50 i gone and done it, sunset orange (mrs thinks i look like a pimp in it ) 45k miles 2003 gt model, I found the guides here a great help when looking for a good one didnt want it messed around with, or plastered with bolt on go faster stuff that really does nothing. Took me about 10 weeks to find one, after looking at about 6 all with differing issues, from clicking axles, to poor gearbox selection, poor care of interia, general lack of care, I found one at a sports car specialist took 90 min test drive and 30 mins later done the deal. Had it a week now but only driven it 3 times due to the bloody snow, very impressed with the 150 miles i have done in it tho, certainly attracts attention, and 26mpg average, bet that wont last as i get used to it and put some high quality tyres on the back, as dealer put 2 new tyres on and they are some cheap make, so thats the first job. Having come from a few fairly sporty cars this has to be the best in terms of refienment and outright grunt, having had celicas, mx5`s RX8, range oF GTi`s, xr4I, capri 2,8 the RX8 is the nearest but has to worked hard to match the Z. and best of all being 50 insurance has dropped vastly , £329 fully comp , thats £80 less than it was last year for my mx5, look forward to contributing and learning from the more experienced owners on here. Will get some pics up soon as this damn weather clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Welcome to the forum and congrats on it purchase! You said the exact same thing about liking the car as standard.... Tip: If you want it to stay standard then stay well clear of any car meets, It's been a slippery slope ever since lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) along ....................... or plastered with bolt on go faster stuff that really does nothing. If it was Green then some of those bolt on extras make a difference :wink: Edited January 21, 2013 by Keyser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
