Fernandofan08 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Hey everyone. Right now, I've got an RX-8 and just had a fresh engine rebuild. Love the car, 1 of 100 in the uk in the rarest colour; Phantom Blue. Heres a few shameless thumbnails; Anyway. I was thinking that next summer, id like to get a second car. I should in theory have about £6500 by then, but I wouldnt be in a rush. If it means waiting a month or two longer to get a top example, i'm more than happy to spend the correct money rather than corner cut. Hell, I spent £800 on tyres for the RX8 (AD08's) and £2250 on a rebuild, then £400 on D585 coil upgrade with magnecor leads and Spark plugs. So basically, my line of thought is to have the RX8 as a weekday car which I can take out for fun when I fancy it, but Id like a second car designated purely for most car events, some nice track days and in general to go out at the weekend as well. Upto yet, my thoughts have been along the lines of the Mazda RX-7; but would i REALLY want to have another Rotary as beautiful as they are? Honda S2000; reputed to be bad in the wet and you have to be amputee to get combfy in the drivers seat, Integra DC5; Bit plain, and the 350z. So what are the pro's and con's to the 350z regarding maintenance, running costs (cant be worse than 18mpg on the RX8!), potential modifications such as induction, remapping, eyelids, exhaust and, well not body kits, but like with the RX8; Spoiler, Air dam, some mud guards etc to keep it to an OEM/OEM+ style? I'm not afraid to spend the right kind of money, as I've said; I'm happier to wait, save and have the correct budget for the correct car as opposed to rushing and buying a low priced one. Look forward to all your replies guys and girls! Edited June 13, 2013 by Fernandofan08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
