A Z32. I'm pretty much set on it. Been "shopping" around for one for a while now, and I frequent 300zxclub.com. So yeah, 300zx...however, if I can get pre-approved for enough, I'm gonna look for a MKIV. But you just can't beat the Z, with T-Tops...I need T-Tops.

yea, so it isnt a ton of power parts, but its an autoX setup and a pretty pricey one at that, exactly what i want to use the car for. car is for sale for 8500. once the celica is sold that guy is MINE. HOPEFULLY >smile.gif>

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
nice setup

that leaves everything done except for how ever much power you want.

$8500 is not a bad price at all for that setup

The supra and skyline got equal 1st because I can't decide although if the blonde model comes with the supra then I'm there!


What does everyone else think I should get? >confused.gif>

kamixZR - No I don't think the chick comes with the Supra. Also Skylines are HOT. Saw a blue one drive by the other day when I was out in the Z it looked soooo good.

Me personlly I was going to get a Supra TT aerotop but this really good one was au$45,000 so I wen't to see the owner and I bought one his other cars, a 300ZX TT. au$17,500 and I got lots of money to get upgrades which are comming from Japan no hurry for those. Plus he runs a little motorshop and he has Skylines GTR's there all the time, there was a one the other day with a full Nismo 400R kit my jaw droped.

So I think I would go for the GTR over the WRX and Supra. Off topic the Skyline and Supra following are much bigger than GT4 and WRX therefor a slightly better investment for resale when the kids arrive. Or buy a minie van for ya gal. >biggrin.gif>

The supra has always been my dream car (In a reasonable price range!!), the skyline is also up there, but the supra does it for me. I can get a used 96 tt 4 about 9k (In £ not $ !!!), but in a few years that should come down (With my insurance hopefully!!!!!!!!!!!!)








..........sory i still don't know how to post pics up - but im working on it!!)

Everytime i see a damn eclipse i get this funny feeling in my pants like when i used to climb the rope in gym class! And just knowing that the aftermarket for them is waaaay better and cheaper than our celicas is makin me think real hard about keepin my car.

I'll be driving my wife's new Altima in a few years because she wants a soccer mom land barge SUV when we have kids.

VW makes a turbo diesel engine called the TDi (strange, eh?). it's not very strong, but by no means weak. 1.8T is much much better.

the 1.8T is a straight up 5 cylinder turbo. it's one of the most reliable engines with HUGE amounts of potential for big HP...

the good thing about the jetta, gti and A4 is that they all share the 1.8T. so, upgrading turbo stuff is pretty much universal.

i love my celica and all, it's my first car. but...i have switched to the euro side.

the only jap car that i like anymore is my celi, hahaha...

1.8T poooowwwwaaaaaaa!!!

Well, at the shop I just went to there was a supra with a totally rebuilt engine, direct injection NOS, a fat ass turbo and a beuatiful interiour, the backseat area or whatever was all covered over and had some fat subs in it.... it was a very nice supra! So I might have to lean that way...
A Firebird Trans Am and put a supercharger or turbocharge on it...
Or a Chevy Camaro and do the same to it...
or a Stupid Mustang and do the same to it...

Why because at least with them, there is a richness and classy demeanor about them, not like a 6gc that in my honest opinion sucks, okay See yah later...

Mica in classy mode...
