twisty b-road Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 how did the test drives goin summary: MX5, MR2, Celica 190, ITR DC5 import or second hand S2000. I love that list style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> can't make me mind upI could get an Evo 8 if I really wanted, but I'm not prepared to spend that amount really. It'd be great and all but too pricey, I like toys too much. Started getting a bit more confident with my mates 276 Evo8, driven it loads of times now in the last 6 months, he's been trying to get me to buy an EvoBy the time I got the 350Z I wanted it's the best part of 30k, same applies with the 350Z as the Evo: I can afford but don't want it THAT much. The car I drove was a dealer demo, now sold....Drove a mate of a mates T350C like a right pussy but gave it some in third bloody hell, then got taken for a sideways journey :shock: that car is mental, apparently TVR say it's the "friendly" car in their range. I ached for days afterwards because I wanted one so much, and second hand prices are looking good but again it's the money.I also ached for a Focus RS after trying one, there was one for sale in the next town with 325bhp on the trader! But I'm not so sure about it nowTried mk3 MR2 (twice), RX8, R33 GTR, Boxster S, Elise. They were all ace but I can think of reasons no to.Briefly took great care with Putneys S2k if not my licence.Going to try Celica 190, MX5, Cooper S *ducks*Waiting for a call back from the Seat guy about when he can get me a 160tdi beeza lolNow is the time I wish my mum didn't have a Civic Type R, there's a couple of import places I've seen (GT Culture one of em), gonna try and arrange a go in an Integra DC5.Spent most of my lupos engine tuning/TT fuel cap money paying off the finance, own the car now, waiting for the letter, reckon it be here tomorrow or MondayPhew!

twisty b-road Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 QUOTE(BigMon)I must have missed you posts Si. Why's your Loop doing your head in.I haven't really posted about it a great deal.....Not gonna be satisfied with it the way it is. Can source quite a few parts, but can't fit 'em. Almost every ****er I speak to wants to stick a 1.8T in it and doesn't listen to me, or wants daft money, or I just didn't get a good feeling from or I've heard bad stuff about.Warranty running out.Me dad keeps saying "if it's not bloomin' fast enough buy a faster bloomin' car" and I know he's right.

twisty b-road Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 It was ace mate. Love some of the design details. Would defo consider one.Performance was very good, was the 6 speeder I drove. Rotary engine makes an odd noise though?Steering was ace, nose is very light I think, I wasn't used to the `turn-in`, would take a few hundred miles I think Not sure about the front wings though, my eyes just didn't like themGotta try a Cooper S see what the fuss is about, I been meaning to.

Crusoe Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 M1/M2 is supposed to have a 300bhp light weight straight 6 with exhaust and gearbox etc. from the M5, could be a monster but likely to be over £30K! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hmm, 22k, thats Evo territory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 anyone see the Car article on the new evo, short run of FQ400s for about £40K each, faster than the zonda they tested it against in everything eccept top speed but even that wasn't too shabby for a brick shape at 175mph.
