Reminds me of when I imported my GTI-R with mud and snow tyres from Japan:/

Lethal!

woah

Not the prettiest of cars, but 0-60 in under 4 seconds and a 1/4 mile quicker than a Ferrari 360 at 21yrs old was a lot of fun :)

straight up. waving a bafta trough the window while at it. haters gonna hate!

i looked into getting one but most are shit now unless pay tonnes for one. ill just keep saving... and dreaming for a r32 gtr (or r34 if i win the lottery)

Well define shit?

there's tons out there where people have spent small fortunes on them and are looking for a few k.

Or buy a complete shitter for about £1200 with the intention of getting the engine redone, that way there are no surprises.

Its the same with the GTR, the people who buy these drive them hard and becuause of their age you will probably run into problems unless you buy one for much less with problems then just take it to get modded and rebuilt so its as new.

The running and repair costs hit you hard, but if you buy it as a toy that you use a second car once or twice a week, it can become a lot more manageable. When

If you want an import let me know, my friend does it, sort him out a few hundred and you can take your pick at the auctions in person or buy online, its traders only and unles its a private sale the traders who sell them all buy them off the boat in SHampton and whack about 20-25% on them.

its a risky game game either way, he sometimes buys one and the clutchgoes on the way home.

That's why when I do it again next it will be shiter with known problems and a low price and I'll spend a few k on it building it all up.

Its the only way IMO.

P.S.
A 200sx is a good outside bet to an GTR on a budget, they are cheap as hell as go really really well with a small boost increase.

shit being things going wrong soon after purchase =)

yeah ive been looking at 200SX's for a long time and probably more realistic. a nice stage 1 with decent stance. always loved the s15s but still a bit more pricey

Just keep saving and buy i nice BNR32.
I love it so much, i never gonna sell! =)

350z m8, cheap, sexy AND powerful

could get an r32 gtr for that money though =)

i nearly bought a 350z but some shit team fucked up my 15 match accumulator at the bookies

yea wanted to buy this, but im saving for a 350z or a bike (1125cr full black <3)

I gotta say, that car really really fits you.

always trying to compare to someone else, desperate trying to prove some worth. While it's really just cheap and other car owners don't even respect it enough to seriously compare :P


I mean you were the one with the Schumacher quote and when you look up the gti-r on youtube it's exactly what you see: People trying to follow a ferrari driver on a public road, who probably doesn't even know he is in a race.

Thanks for making me laugh :)

A farrari driver?
This car would destroy any sub 110k ferrari from 0-140 MPH. You have no clue what you're talking about, instead referring to comfort brands that your clueless mind assocaites with being the best.

Cheap?

The car cost me 8,000, (that isn't mine)
it cost 2,800 a year to insure. (same grp as ferrari)
I spent close to 8-10,000 on the engine alone.
and that was nearly 10 years ago.
That's a lot of money when you're 21.

I bought the car with the intention of modyfying, quit trying to claw back some ego and taking threads off course.

I could have bought a much more expensive car off the bat if I wanted, but when this was finished it beat cars in excess of 100k which is all I wanted it for.

You were probably riding the bus at 21.

yes, yes.

We all saw your video. We know you think 8,000 is a lot of money.

8000 IS a lot of money

It depends on what you are talking about.

As a weekly salary it is.
As the price for a car it is not.
As savings or investments it is not.

guess it depends on what your standards are eh?

for you it might not be much, for others it might aswell be.

if you wanna buy a brand new car 8000 might not be much, on the other hand you can get 10 year old cars which cost a fortune at their time for that money now.

matter of perspective, like everything in life. it's just dangerous to project your own standards on others etc..

yes, it is a matter of perspective (but it was of course also a stab at Mr. "I earn six figures, but 4 figures is a lot").

What I mean is this: Say with the stuff you own and money in the bank and investments you have a net worth of 50,000.

Now if you receive 8,000 as a single payment just like that, you are up to 58,000. That is a big change.

However, if you take 8,000 out of that bank to buy a car, then that car still has a value. If you got a reat deal it might even be worth than what you paid, but let's say you would be able to sell it for 7,000. That means your net worth would be down to 49,000. Not a big change.

hehe it's ok:) i figured it was abt jamerio rather than the amounts.

don't mention cars though, i bought myself a 4 years old car with around 25.000km for 8000 bucks. now, one year later, these things sell for not more than 5000 bucks. sure it's 3000 which doesn't sound much but reality is THAT IS a lot of money. whether i earn good (which i don't because a jewish company fucks me in the butt) or not.

man i'm bitter about that. should have bought me the mb 560 sec like i wanted;)

only douchebags drives modified cars.
only douchebags compares modified cars with super cars.

hi douchebag.

In a straight line yes, lulz.

Not really "a lot of money when you're 21", my car cost 30k£, bought it a few months after I turned 22, and I wanted something that was cheap and affordable.

I do like your stinginess though, what with making six figures, having your own company and all.

Then you used to to goto tescos lookin glike a gary boy, well done

Hi Bromerio, a 2007 ford focus zetec costs around £3200 to insure nowadays. Gl getting ferrari insurance @£2800 when you're under 28 CCC:

accelleration 0-100kmph - 5.9 seconds
accelleration 0-400m - 13.9 seconds

That's in stock trim with 220 BHP.
Secondly its 5.4 seconds in stock trim.
http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/car-and-...03675.html

Mine had 355 BHP and that was without the nitrous which ended up being used as an antilag device.

ok, 335 with NOS, I believe "under 4s".
I have 96' sti saloon imported from Japan with 410whp, I can do around ~4.5s.

Are you sure?

That's over well over 500 BHP I would expect it to do low to mid 3's, though the time varies depending on driver and diff gearing etc. though not sure of the weight.

They do crazy shit to their cars in japan so nowt surprises me, friend got this stock grey POS looking EVO 4, turns out it had a greddy turbo and manifold, liners and was running 450 BHP.

Did a 3.77 at trax and he raped everyone :(

Holy chav mobile batman

How much did you pay for that ?

These disco-cars are soo disgusting... :/
