Ian Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Nah my Z was 'only' 420hp This has lots of power low down, my Z never came alive until 5K RPM Turbos are much more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Very nice Ian How much faster you gonna make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Very nice Ian How much faster you gonna make it TBH I won't be doing a lot to it at all. Only plans for now are to replace the ICE with my own setup, replace the AFR gauge with my HKS one & replace the gauges with Defis. I might also change the front bumper eventually but I'm in no rush to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Whilst its a nice motor....I always took you as a "built not bought" kinda guy. I'd looked forward to seeing a build thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Whilst its a nice motor....I always took you as a "built not bought" kinda guy. I'd looked forward to seeing a build thread. Normally I would be but the new grown up & sensible me sees this as a better route I'll add a few of my own touches but the main thing that attracted me to this one was that it had pretty much most of the parts I had planned on buying myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I can respect that. Wife/kids/house mean my build days are over......oh wait, (looks at the 300 keys) that didn't last long did it.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjt Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Great to see you have finally got yourself one after what happened to the original choice in Japan, no waiting and missing the summer now either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Holy sex wee batman! Me likely. Give the extensive mod list dare we ask what the damage was? A bargain given the spec list I got it for £10,800 which is only £300 more than the one I originally bought & is cheaper than the second one I agreed to. Its a bit higher mileage than I'd have liked (100k miles) but for the spec and condition of the car I can live with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
