supramkivcork Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 With the way things are a Supra was out of my league unfortunately as I was looking to get back into something interesting . The tax here in Ireland is less than half on a 2ltr @660 and a 3ltr @ 1390 so decided 2ltr was max engine size . I went to look at a few R32's , went through a stage then of wanting a dc2 , finally a lot of searching I settled on an S2K . This was the second one I viewed and bought it. It needs a slight bit of tidying and a few touches but happy enough over all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Lovely car and congrats on the purchase though I can't believe how expensive tax is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks folks @ abtin90 : Trust me mate I cannot believe either how expensive tax is . Since 2008 cars registered first in 2008 or later in the top emmissions bracket are 2258 a year to tax . Thank your lucky stars uk motor tax is so cheap . Plus you guys have far superior roads to us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Nice car mate they have such a great look to them. I would move just to avoid the tax situation..... Is the insurance is 8pence a year to even it out a touch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Nice. A mate had a supercharged one of these. You know you want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 To be honest the bodykit really isn't my thing, but lovely car anyway. They're very handsome cars, and apparently they're a bit mental (but I like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 insurance is 750 on it fully comp . supercharged one would be wild at the moment I'm happy with it , I guess when I get a major thirst for an earlier power delivery I'll suss it out , must resist temptation lol.

IamLukeMachin Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thats lovely - nice little motors there. I am also shocked at the price of tax! Have you got any plans for your S2K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige-rz Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Great choice mate. Lovely little motor you've got yourself there. Compared to all the rough looking R32's you see on donedeal, this was definitely the better choice. Tax is a killer, my daily is the top rate aswell!

ozz Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Downgrade - have you seen the prices? Always had a soft spot for these so had a quick look as I could do with a car for a few weeks/months - decent ones seem to be 9k or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
