Alpinaman Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 You know i didnt have any real faults with the M5.... It had a healthy appetite for fuel and oil...... It was very quick,it had 536 bhp apparently but had to work for it. My last XKR was a match i reckon,465bhp with an upgraded supercharger pulley. It was awesome,but was doing 12-13mpg.....And we have had a bit of a change in situation so needed something that would do a bit more mpg.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never owned a V8 or V10 and tbh I'd really love to see if I could get one or the other as my next car just to experience the sound really. Time will tell though, I've only had this car since May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I was signing on once in between jobs & I was driving a my96 JDM Subaru Impreza (pics a couple of pages back), ....pretty sure back then they all thought I was a drug dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nso93 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Hi here's some of my old cars and present My second car was the ford fiesta st. It had a k&n 57i induction kit, with miltek manifold and non resonated car back. Replaced that with the fn2 type r. That had the hks rsk induction kit and a j's racing 60rs cat back exhaust. Third was my old blade silver 350z. That had k&n typhoon intake, cobra sports cats, miltek cat back and a motor dyne plenum spacer. It also had Rota gtr and gtr'd wrapped in Dunlop sport maxx tyres. Replaced that recently with temper orange 350z which has a toyo sport cat back exhaust Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited October 8, 2016 by Nso93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargara Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Some nice Skylines there Ian, was the R34 worth the premium over the R33 for the more modern platform? I'd like an R34 GTT at some point as a cost effective compromise Edited July 18, 2017 by Sargara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
