allaboutthepasty Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Absolutely gutted I got rid of this. Had it standard and sold to a guy who's got about 290bhp out of it now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allaboutthepasty Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It actually would be tempting... Horrific mpg for a 1.8, very tail happy through the corners, not exactly the most reliable... But a massive smile on the face when the turbo kicks in. Only going to go up in value too. Got rid of mine for about £750, I'd say about £2-3K now.

Ponsonby Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Absolutely gutted I got rid of this. Had it standard and sold to a guy who's got about 290bhp out of it now. Had one of these myself. Loved it. Also had the S12 Sylvia which was my first turbo car - sooo much lag, handled like a pig, but is the car I remember most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started out with an 850 mini, followed by a 900cc Fiat, and then a GLS Avenger. Thought the Avenger was the dogs nuts because it had a rev counter (not many had in those days) and a vinyl roof that frequently removed itself. After the Avenger I had a 2.0S Cortina and the 'sporty' cars started from there, apart from a few relapses to more sensible cars when I was skint.

AP350GT Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 First car was a MG ZR 1.4, pretty much standard. Then I had the same with a 2.0 turbo conversion, the one on the left: Then I had this S15, was at just under 360bhp before I sold it: And now the 350GT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargara Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I was relatively late to start driving, 23yrs old in '07 I started and I've always been a Renault owner until the 350z. My 1.4 monster! Followed by my first decent car, my 172 and my first taste of trackdays: Sticking with the theme I speced and ordered my brand new dream 200 Cup. Those 15 weeks felt so long! Which a lorry decided it wanted to merge into the side of at ~5mph, it tainted the whole "brand new car" aspect. So then I took the plunge into Turbo charged ownership with a 250 Cup instead: Then the wife came along and so I needed to downsize while saving for the wedding. Que the "halo" Clio, 182 Trophy: And now with the wedding out of the way I was given the all clear to indulge in a 2 seater, hence the 350z while I have the opportunity! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageKitten Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 OK, so I thought I'd join in with the nostalgia.. First car was a mark 2 Vauxhall Astra 1.3 - I don't think I've got any pics of it, although maybe something in the loft somewhere. Then I had a Mk 1 Ford Mondeo 1.8 TD.. that thing was so sluggish, used to have to change down to overtake old ladies on the footpath (I probably shouldn't have been driving on the footpath come to think of it). Then I went for a Renault Laguna 2.0 - it had an onboard talking computer on it that used to frighten the life out of passengers when it piped up (in a very upper class english accent might I add) - I actually managed to sell this one when I did a car boot sale, taking it quite literally... After that it was a Ford Probe 2.5 V6; it had already been chipped, lowered and fitted with a custom exhaust when I got it (perked it all up to 194bhp). I loved that car though, and then someone ran into the back of it while I was stationary and waiting to turn right and it was written off. On the plus side, after 2 years of owning it I actually got only £200 less than I paid for it on the insurance payout, and was still able to sell the car for parts for £700. Somehow I made a profit on it... Anyway, that meant I could buy a car that I'd always loved the look of. My first Peugeot 406 Coupe V6. And my second 406 Coupe V6 And my third and last 406 Coupe V6 (yes, I really loved the look of them) And then my 350Z (my Dad had a Nissan Silvia Turbo, then a 300ZX, so I'd always wanted to go down the Nissan route - I like to think he'd have approved of my choice). And finally, my current 370Z. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmr1991 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Here are my last 4 cars... in 4 years ( I won't bore you with the likes of the ST etc etc etc... straight onto the "good stuff") Cayman S - Full techart conversion, at the time it was one of roughly 50 in the EU and very few in the UK (I only knew of one other in the UK) Next was my 350z, with a dodgy looking kit on it :lol: I then went back to a Cayman S... pretty standard just had a full Porsche AERO kit on it. and some other nice touches I then had "grown up syndrome" yes I'm only 24.. was 23 at the time... But needed a "bigger car" to get the misses and the dog in So bought my Current car Audi S5.. 4.2L Petrol V8. the most thirsty car I've ever had... but wouldnt have it anyway... kind of, its for sale anyway.. so watch this space. New Cayman GTS or if I can get into the good books again of my local friends at Porsche a GT4 If they don't stick a hefty mark up on it, currently sold out all pre-orders when I enquired a few weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus-350z Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 First car (which I still own!) Is this beautiful 1988 Austin Mini Mayfair... The Mayfair model was meant to be upmarket meaning it had a tape player as standard and a burr walnut dashboard and accessories (very snazzy!) And here's her engine with a number of tasteful mods! The next one was another mini, this time in red which belongs to my mate who is the guy I restore/modify cars with! Between us we have also restored and now run this Beautiful, (and pretty scary) TR6 Which is powered by this beast Also went through a very quick phase with this 924 which was good fun! On the look out for a tasty 350z now though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
