The G Man

Nice car mister, average GTR, but nice

Ya big wusss George - canny take the pace anymore Viki, I'm the oldest, most mangled subscriber on here, but I think I'll manage Tartan Tarmac where have you been sweetheart xx In London at the mo, be home Friday

Its only the turbo one that uses oil. Supercharged one is fine. The S that middle daughter had was a 58 plate (that was turbo wasn't it?), she never had to put a drop in it in 4 years, car was serviced at the recommended intervals. What level of oil use are we talking? 1/2 pint between services?

Sorry mate, those "stock" seats are awful in a Nismo, IMHO. Nice colour and all that, but they just don't suit. The Mk1 seats are fantastic on a long journey (2+ hours), the 'stocks' are pretty uncomfortable on longer journeys (my mrs always complained, although I could stick it out a bit longer). You would have been cheaper keeping your black edition and just adding the body kit (although all the suspension goodies would have been lost) As long as your happy, that's all that counts. The Recaros in the Mk2 look the part, but other than track use, possibly, are a fairly cosmetic, more uncomfortable solution. Just my honest opinion, hope you return it to what it was like when you come to move it on. Did you retrofit the heated element?, switches etc? One thing that I initially missed, but not at all now, was the heated seats (no need, obviously with the cloth)

Ark GRiP, awesome, that's all, £50 above your £1k budget. You'd be mistaken if you thought you'd get a better sounding exhaust. No B/S!

Lots of Nismo wannabes on here, guess he/she is just another one. Just been sick!

My middle daughter had a Cooper S, and my youngest has a cooper Coupe, NONE of them used oil! These are the best toys in their bracket that you could hope to play with, styling, finish and a little bit of performance/attitude.

No, life lesson that he'll never learn at Uni. Life's a bitch, I'm sure you'll both cope. Look for a cancellation.

Man, that's three butt ugly cars in the one household!!

Did a similar day at RAF Valley a few years ago, don't get too close to the car in front of you, it'll sandblast the front of your bumper. I'd be surprised if they let you do as fast as you can down the runway, last thing they'll want is a bunch of civvies smashing up the landing lights at the end of the runway!

Hmm, your car is lovely, just feel that the Mk2 looks too much like standard at certain angles, I know it isn't and I know that the suspension set up sets the Nismo, Mk1 or 2 aside. However, it's your dosh, fill your boots as they say

Seems a reasonable question You're quite happy to spill the beans on the rest of the thread, maybe he wants to buy it, I might even want to buy it, Ekona might want to buy it. Shame it's left a bad taste re Porsche

Absolutely, the 'Team' hate you (only kidding, I love the paranoia though) I must say though, when I was a mod, this was the most difficult area to moderate.

Never puked but felt nauseous for about an hour after half a dozen pass laps with ZMANALEX at Knockers, my kidneys also took a pounding, like sparring with Sugar Ray type pounding

Yeah, he must be. Stupid bam pot, if only he'd stuck in at school! He's only one of them senior personnel blokes, dumb ass. Wait till I see him

In fact, he can't even get a discount on one for himself!

No family discount on the Mustang I'm afraid, been down that route . My cousin also works for Ford in Ellesmere (sp?). He can get a couple off grand of a 'normal' Ford, not available on the Mustang though.

Anyway, I'm sure you've been asked, what happened to the V8 itch? (I might have asked this before but as a functioning alcoholic, I don't have responsibility for my hard of thinking)

Thats RX8 levels and they used to get slated for it and that was by design

1. Petrol, preferably put in the car until brimmed. 2. Go to the toilet before you leave, also make sure passenger also completes their ablutions. 3. Place key in ignition and turnover the engine. 4. Move off.

Lots of big words there ... well done ! Ta

Insidious and, I've just stuck needles in my eyes to relieve them of the assault on them. Not BMW fan in the first place, however that has reinforced the blandness factor ten fold!

Yup, try 11 months! Parking sensors? That big fat a*se on your new car will have pimples Not for me but, hey it's your car

I had the car uprevved, still done it.
