twiggo Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 It's been about 10 months now since in sold my 350z and god do I miss it! I'd buy it back in a heart beat! I'm a massive Honda fan so i bought a DC5 - don't get me wrong its a great great car, can't fault it but there's just something I miss so much about my zed! Any other regretful ex-350z owners out there?? Surely I'm not alone - anyone even recognise my old car or know where it is?? Quote
GIXXERUK Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Lovely car, sold my 350 and got a 911, 3yrs later I've got a 370 now Quote
twiggo Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 I'm such a douche for selling up Quote

twiggo Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 aha! 370z seems to be natural progression tbf! how have you found yours?? Quote
Vlad Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 That's a nice Z there mate! Can't believe you sold it Quote
Arran Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 How did you sell that for a DC5! Should be the other way round I keep contemplating on of those carbon ducts just not sure how it will look with no body add ons which I don't want Quote
GIXXERUK Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 aha! 370z seems to be natural progression tbf! how have you found yours?? Lovin it mate, it's everything the 350 was but a much nicer place to be and the connect premium is awesome Quote
Jmanji Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Yep, regret selling mine now, looking out for a carrera 4s but also still looking at 370s. Quote
Ian Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Yup, should never have sold mine. Looking at getting another next year or maybe a 370z Quote

Should be the other way round I keep contemplating on of those carbon ducts just not sure how it will look with no body add ons which I don't want I'm a big Honda man - DC5 was logical progression for me at the time.

GMballistic Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Yep, regret selling mine now, looking out for a carrera 4s but also still looking at 370s. Do like the Carrera 4s but could never find one in my budget. Maybe in a few years or more but then I'd probably end up writing a thread like this one. Quote
Arran Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 I do like some Hondas but a dc5 is a step back imo. Mate of mine has an ep3 type r and its not in the same league albeit a nice car to drive fast Quote

A9H-RX Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Remember seeing this for sale on pistonheads Quote
twiggo Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 a dc5 and an ep3 are very very different cars mind! a dc5 is just a completely different drive to the 350z though. i think i miss the fact that every time i got into my 350z it felt like an event - drove it a lot over the winter before i sold it travelling up and down the M1 to leeds n back and it was just a pleasure to drive - got out feeling fresh and usually smiling. i know now i should have kept it over summer and got a exhaust sorted! neeeevermind.

How so? Sorry not been argumentative but same engine I believe and same set up. eg: front engine/fwd. Maybe slightly different in terms of handling/weight distribution but not exactly miles apart.Still a great car the Integra. Quote
twiggo Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 Higher lift cams, higher compression pistons, lighter flywheel, quicker steering rack, different gear ratios, limited slip diff, uprated inlet manifold, thicker mid-pipe, 10kg lighter with roughly 20bhp more. Higher rpm limit too to boot. Brembo's on the front oh and the wiper/lights stalks are on the wrong side Mine current sits on mugen shocks n springs, has a gruppe m intake with a hondata map running about 230ish bhp. Quote

Not that much different then. Sound's cool and got to love those Gruppe M's. Had one on my Type R ~ best induction noise ever! 1 Quote
twiggo Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 Aha tbf very few people know the differences - as with the majority of import versions of uk spec cars they're just a bit more purposeful. The gruppe m is a lovely noise - used to have a pop charged intake on my 350z and i loved that too! Quote
