Speedyboy, yeah, I guess you are at the opposite end of the spectrum.....having to spend even more money and time on your car just to keep pace with your other half! :wink:
Although seeing as you're able to take her motor out for a blast every now and again :twisted: (leave back when tank is almost empty) I think you're in a sweet position :wink:

Yeah - I've got the same problem - And we seem to spend more money on her car than mine mainly cause its easier to convince her that she needs this mod or that part for her car. To be fair its not that hard to pull the wool over her eyes and say that my existing manifold is giving me trouble and that RPW do a reasonably priced replacement or that my dampers are a little worn but the Tein coilovers will sort that out :lol:

GTS or GTR??? Any mods??

R32/R33/R34 ????

Must admit to having a hankering for a black R32GTR with some choice mods like coilovers/larger turbo/manifold/SS exhaust etc. That would be a mean car.

no definitely the R34 gtr, i was looking at one of these a few months back, ended up deciding against it! too many hassles involved in importing and then god only knows what kind of VRT i would have been charged!

R34GTT were collecting it on saturday all going well

She actually got a quote on an R34 GTR full comp for €1300 so hopefully the GTT will be less , I'd consider a s3x change for a quote like that on a GTR,

Was in a 500bhp R32 the other evening, To be honest i was "sceptical" about the 500bhp as ive heard loads of claims of mad horepower before that was untrue to say the least we wont mention a particular GTO!

Anyway this thing was unbelievable 4 wheel drifting everywhere when he dumped the clutch, Ive been in a few fast yokes before including a new M3 smg through the launch control sequence, STI impreza's, Tuned GTiR but this blew them away by soooooooo much, You could really really feel the extra 150 bhp it had on an M3

The GTT is unmodified "For the moment"

500bhp
:shock:


4 wheel drifting everywhere when he dumped the clutch

Combined with 500bhp... think a change of underwear might be required :!:

Just a 'normal' insurance policy? Could you tell us who with?
BTW is the DC5 gone?
