Default Finally.........I've bought a new car !!

After months of deliberation I have finally purchased a new car

To date I've considered Audi RS6, Lotus Exige, BMW M3, BMW M5, VX220, TVR Tuscan, 996 Turbo, Noble plus a few others.......................

I knew deep down there could be only one and it just goes to show, once you go jap, you never go back

Not had chance to give the barge a proper clean yet, better pictures to follow over the weekend

JAP CRAP RULES !!!

Having done the TVR tuscan.... but on my list of next is possibly a T350 but most likely the noble will win... The missus reckons the R34 is too common...

It actually goes over speed bumps suprisingly well, my old R33 gtr was terrible and used to scrape the splitter on everything, even my drive which has a timy slope.

Currently running approx 500bhp flywheel and that's exactly where it's staying - had some sensible mods done to it by previous owner and I'm not chasing big power. Best bit are the brakes, Stoptech 355 front and rear Never had braking power like it (and I had AP 6 pots on my R33 and bugeye scoob).

Not made my mind up about the carbon bonnet yet, mrs doesn't like it and thinks I should try and find a standard one, jury's still out as far as I'm concerned

I would deffo get rid of the bonnet dude, it's just not right - sort of thing you'd find on less classy motors..

I didn't like them at first but they are growing on me now. The wheels I want are about 2k so think I'll be keeping them for a while - the brakes create soooooo much dust it's probably not worth changing them anyway!

Very nice looking car.

That's a fantastic looking car mate, I think the wheels suit it pretty well to be honest.
