Chia Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi all, Thought I'd take the opportunity to say hi here before I announce myself with a random/impromptu comment on another thread - I've been using t'interweb long enough to understand basic forum 'etiquette'...and good manners. My name is Paul, I'm from Glasgow and I'm in need of a car! I've been lurking around the forum for the past month but only registered about a week or so ago. At the moment, I'm not only Z-less but actually car-less (strictly speaking that's not true, I've been running around in the other half's Citroen C1 for a while - needs must) as the last car made way to free up funds for a new house purchase. I resisted buying a replacement as I then got engaged and decided to save for the forthcoming wedding, which is in about 7 weeks time Anyway, I've been a long time fan of the 350Z - I nearly bought one a few years ago before I bought my M3 - and, since finding this forum, have spent some time reading up on them. Needless to say, my decision was made before I started browsing the forum - it looks like the 350Z could be my next car. All in good time though, it's unlikely I'll be making any significant purchases for a number of months yet, which is a bit of a shame as I've already spied one or two in the classifieds which look perfect. In the meantime I'll enjoy browsing the forum and maybe pitching in with the odd comment/post from time to time. I've attached a few (poor quality) pics of some of my previous cars - feel free to complement/chastise etc. Flame-proof suit at the ready... 1993 DC2 Integra Si - Hugely capable, quick in the right conditions & modified to the point it was as good as if not better than any equivalent Type R I'd driven. 2.5 years of ownership, loved every minute. My favourite so far. Eibach springs, Bilstein dampers, uprated/modified E46 M3 LSD, Ferodo DS2500 pads, Rogue Engineering 'Race brace', Rogue Engineering rear top mounts, 'Dave F' air filter & loads more. 2.3 10v 5 cylinder loveliness. I bought this as a 'mini' project whilst in between cars and ended up driving it every day whilst I got it to the condition you see in the pic. Shame about the 3 shades of red mind you... I can't find any pics of other previous cars but there were a couple of 306s in there (we need to start somewhere, right?!) and a couple of mk2 Toyota MR2s - one NA and the other a Turbo - among others. Sorry for the novel-esque intro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
