Dblock Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Its ok, I am through that horrible stage now and back on the road to wanting something japanese, old, daft but different! I was looking at old celicas. They are bloody quick! Quote
Dblock Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 As in the ST205s? I think so yes. The old rally 4 headlight ones. People mod them and they are very fast considering the price and age. It's like that much performance back then is crazy Quote
Ekona Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah, the 3S-GTE block is a little bit good at taking power. Bit heavy, but then it's an old engine so that's to be expected. Quote
Dblock Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Tell you what though. After marzmans thread I was looking at 996 turbos. Now I canT afford one but some people where running silly silly power. I'm sure I saw a few at 600 or 650bhp and 1 or 2 at 700 or 750bhp. That's utter silliness for the price.

coldel Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Quite a nice ST205 popped up on ebay but they guy stuck it on as an auction annoyingly, just cant get down there for a view before it ends! Quote
coldel Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) These older japanese cars are a bit of a minefield..might change tact, anyone driven a Mazda 6 MPS? Edited January 16, 2014 by coldel Quote
coldel Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Finally spent some money on something Quote
coldel Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Picking it up hopefully on Tuesday night... Quote
coldel Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Not going to be playing the guessing game, snapped this pic as I left the car yesterday...part of the Nissan family once again 4 Quote
Humpy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Very nice Col, what's the history of this beaut? Quote
coldel Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Imported about 18 months ago, one owner, guy is an army mechanic, started it as a toy but then wanted to get back into his bikes again. Some bits are not to my liking (i.e. side skirts) and its too low so need to raise it up again. But its got BC coilovers on it, FMIC, custom ecu, decat plus stainless exhaust, and whats very nice is he imported a full GTR interior (seats, gaiters, door cards) which makes a big difference. Also chucked in a walbro pump and boost tee (although might go the electronic route) plus all the standard parts he replaced so old intercooler, suspension springs, standard cats. Not a GTR as I didn't want to spend that sort of money but it was dyno'd in December at 277bhp as it stands without any boost work so is running good power. Was the fifth one I looked at and stood out a mile. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Very nice, Col, we fitted a clutch to a R33 last week... Quote
LRF4N Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Looks clean mate congrats on the purchase The bodykit is pretty full on lol Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Very nice mate, oh and keep adding to this thread as when it is bumped up I get this on my phone Little Alfie peeping out of the forum Sent from the golf club... 1 Quote
Humpy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Yeah those side skirts are a required taste for sure Sounds liked you picked up a great example though Col Quote
coldel Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Bodykits can be swapped around, a car thats not riddled with rust and the like is not so easy to find! Amazing some of the cars I went to look at, one had an airgun pellet hole in the bonnet Engine runs really well, brand new tyres on the car, new pads etc so money lost on fixing the bodykit is money gained in other areas. It actually is one of those that looks better in the metal than on photos, thank goodness! Quote
