Puntokris's new car (again) - RWD FTW

Introduction

Well as quick as the type-r came, it was gone. It was a brilliant car but now I live closer to work and the car only leaves the garage a few times a week so it was time to get something impractical and bad on fuel before I did something silly like get a serious girlfriend and/or have kids. Haven't been on the forum for a while due to being tied up moving into my place in reading and starting new job etc.

So anyway on saturday morning I picked up this :)

Yes its an import but its got the GT pack (brembo brakes, leather heated seats, better suspension, bose 7 speaker system etc) which means its just as good as a UK one. 3.5 V6 engine with 276bhp and it doesn't hang around. Handles great and the build quality is good as are the gadgets! Average mileage. Also got Tanabe lowering springs on at the moment.

It costs £80 to fill the tank and averages low 20's MPG, it costs £400 a year to tax but I don't care. It sounds and looks and performs brilliantly. Should be bringing it to trax on the FF stand this weekend!

Got some nice things planned for the car including some NISMO bits and bobs so I'll try and keep the thread updated. Opinions please!
Just for fun I checked how much a new Porsche 911 Targa Turbo would cost me.

£800... very reasonable if I could afford the car itself lol! :eek:
 
Long time no speak ffoxy!

I think a 911 was about 2.5k for me!

Hey Chris lad... good to see you here again!
:eek: Being an Old Git has advantages lol... seems almost everything "normal" I want to insure now is between £169 & £289! Thats between a 1.6 Fester Titanium through a Kia Pro Ceed Sport and Toyota SR180 Auris up to a Beemer M3!
