Hi I am knid of new here so I htought i would show you my cars past and present.


my current ride. fiat coupe 20 valve turbo with stage 1 ( around 250bhp) gives me 30mpg does 0-60 in under 6 seconds and over 155 mph and it is comfy to. cost alot to maintain but this car really has grown on me :-)



my r34 gtt which i loved to bits. again stage one mods and hks coilovers,uprated brakes and top secret body kit. this car was very nice to drive but wasn't that fast. tuened heads like nothing else though. had to sell it due to high milage and 13mpg.

my r33 gtst this was around 340bhp and had coilovers and alot of work done and was a great car. i owned it for nearly 4 years and i bought it for myself as a 20th birthday present lol

i have a bigger car history than that but i want to get more phot's up and stuff.
the r33 was a really good car and i started off playing £2400 insurance which was quite mental but after a while it went down and ended up paying £800 in the end.

£2400 is still quite cheap considering.. Who did you go with?

hi sammy. indeed the coop is very simualr to yours and it looks great.
i have a cat back,getech 1, induction kit with cold air feed, bov,boost controller.
it is actually very fast for what it is and after i had to pay for some big bills its actually not to bad to run. i had to replace the cambelt,clutch,radiator,exhaust manifold,brake discs and pads all round, handbrake cables,tyres,bonnet strut,full service,4 wheel alignment, n/s/f brake bermbo caliper, exhaust,
so after id say 2.5k to sort out its a nice car now and i do 500miles a week and its comfy and fast and i get 30mpg without to much problems.

its not that expensive for the performance to be fair not compared to my skylines.
my brake discs and pads where no where near the money you paid. front and rear grooved discs £127 and omp front pads £45 and standard rears £17 so quite cheap.

in many ways its a better car than the skylines if i am honest, it is mosre forgiving if driven hard and it has a nice interior and is quite comfy and the running costs are alot less but the coop is faster than my old r34 and just shy of my r33!
