Proud new owner of a 54 plate Azure Blue beauty/beast combination


Recommended Posts

Hello all!

 

Bit about me:

- Real name is Jack

- 19 y/o

- Live in Cheltenham

 

After months of research, deliberation, procrastination and begging for money, I went ahead and part exchanged my RX8 for a mighty 350Z.

 

Now, first off, I went from a 1.2 corsa to an RX8 and hell did I think that thing was fast! And to be fair to it, it was pretty damn quick and handled like a dream. But as soon as I pulled the 350Z off the forecourt I was dribbling with excitement. The growl of the engine and the feel of the power under my control had me excited in all kind-Z of ways!

 

I hadn't even driven her down the road when I knew I was going home with her, and I most certainly do not regret it!

 

She's got 48k miles, 1 previous owner and a full Nissan service history; the insurance ins't much more than my RX8 either so that's a plus!

 

Have a picture:

Hope I get to know most of you pretty well, and any pushes towards local(ish) meet-ups would be appreciated!

Just out of interest how much is your insurance? I'm surprised you can even get insured!! That's the beauty of being in your latter 20's I checked a quote this week and I'm looking around £400 which I thought was very reasonable.

Uhhh, it's a lot... My RX8 cost me £1900 for a year (insurance began when I was 18; August last year) and I swapped the vehicle on my policy for free basically, there was no additional premium, just an admin fee and whatnot. My renewal with the new car will be about £1200

Hi Jack... Think I spoke to you a bit at Japfest this year... welcome :thumbs:

 

Maybe; you wouldn't happen to be the guy with the Mongoose exhausts and the mate that's got an Evo...?

I have quite the list! It's completely standard at the moment so I've got the perfect blank canvas!

 

Bonnet pistons and head unit kit ordered already; spacers and induction kit are in the pipe for next months pay check, and eventually I'll get the wheels refurbished and painted black. A few more bits and bobs will be done when I see the things I like :D
