yeah no worries fella thanks for your input.

When you say the skyline cost your a fortune what was that on? petrol? mods? or just fixing it?

Cheers guys, I'll be looking at the 305bhp sti ppp so hopefully have a bit more poke.

As for the skyline, people I have spoke to said they are getting 300miles per 70quid I can cope with, I can get skyline parts and labour cheaper than I can my classic, hence why I am finding it so hard to make a choice!

I think deep down I am loyal to the scoob and will get a bug!

I never normally find it hard to choose

I have had a 33 GTS-T about 6 years ago..

It was running around 340 bhp.

I had it for a year and did 18,000 miles in it.It was a great car and absolutly nothing went wrong with it in that time. It did develop a misfire due to having modded boost pressure,but Iridium plugs sorted that out..
Fuel wise,heavy when provoked but what isnt. I used to get around 33mpg out of mine when commuting from Manchester to Worcester every week

I think they are a great car,a little heavy but certainly no slouch and 350ish BHP is enough in a RWD car to get you into trouble...

Would you be able to get a bugeye down the road faster?? yes,i have no doubt,but thats because a scoob is easy to drive quickly..
I was brought up with RWD so love the way you can control and balance the car,but thats a personal choice.

Would i have another GTS-T ? Yes...Without a doubt..

Would i have a bugeye ?...Dont talk daft..

Thank you for that fatscoob. Nice to hear some positive comments on the skyline.

Not a fan of the bug I guess! Just the looks?
