2222Piggy Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Good morning all! I thought i'd take the time to join this forum as i am now the proud owner of a 350z for my daily commute! Im Daniel and im 23 with a passion for a variety of cars, as seen below Ive been looking for the right 350z for some time, and the right one popped up with full nissan history and the GT pack, rays and the birdview sat nav etc This is the beauty And as mentioned above, i like a variety of cars. This one i have owned for 4 years and restored and modified it to quite an extent. It is my original beauty. Its a Rover 220 Coupe Turbo. And the engine bay: Im sure the coupe isnt to everyones taste and might hate me when i say that in a straight line from a rolling 2nd gear start....the coupe leaves the Z quite easy. Ive joined really to get some advice on some engine modifications but im going to have a look around the site first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakes100 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Welcome Im sure the coupe isnt to everyones taste and might hate me when i say that in a straight line from a rolling 2nd gear start....the coupe leaves the Z quite easy. Not really too surprising as no doubt the Rover is running good power. Anyone who buys a Z purely for straight line speed is a fool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who buys a Z purely for straight line speed is a fool I havent had the rover dyno'd since i rebuilt it and upgraded a few things, but yes your right. For a 20 year old car, she shifts. I bought the z purely because its a nice machine and its very comfortable on a long drive. I spend 2 hours a day commuting, so i thought i'd get something i would like to commute in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Nice to see a 220 turbo! Havent seen one of them in a very long time, most have long since rotted away. Most turbo cars will leave the older zeds like yours behind of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Welcome. We all use Halfrauds for Megs stuff when they do their 2 for 1 deal. He's just winding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
