:conf: but why, Charlie?

 

Anyway, you've done it now. How does it compare to the Supra though mate? (Honest question)

 

It was more than HALF the price of the supe I sold :cool:

Its got full service history and full engine re-build + uprated new clutch

Supe is faster at +100 - reckon about the same upto a ton

at +100 Supe threw you back in your seat - Zed doesnt once you get to 100

Supe Is more refined

Zed is a manual but needs the 6th gear the old supe had

Zed manual box is easier to live with

Petrol Consumption seems crap compared

Handling is better in Zed - my supe was stock

Seats are better in Zed

Zed has head restraints that support your head :p

 

Not sure about the body kit myself - but I think it looks better than a stock Zed

:conf: More than half? How much more?

full engine re-build
All 300zx have those quite regularly! :p

Zed manual box is easier to live with
True, the Getrag box in manual Supras is a bit tiresome. I've driven dumper trucks with slicker boxes.

You know that isn't what head restraints are for? I read somewhere that the Supras head restraints are one of the best in the world when it comes to crash injury prevention.

 

Ah well, I'm glad you're pleased with it mate. Good luck.

Zed was £5000 cheaper - so as I am about to be made redundant seemed like a logical option - Tried to live with a na MR2 but missed the power - its not as good or refined as a Supe as I said - not trying to compare or say the Zed is better - just a pure matter of £s -

Charlie,

 

The Spoiler has to go if you intend to turn upto the pub! ;) :p

 

Otherwise...the kit looks well fitted and she lloks like a clean example. I hope she gives you many miles of trouble free motoring...I loved those cars when they were new (didn't really know what a Supra was at the time!) and although they are a bit dated they still look good to me. :thumbs:

 

Enjoy...hope you get a new job quickly and can get another Supra - if that's what you want.
