Matt T Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Cant stand that styling! Nice cars though, if looking a little dated now, and a serious pain to work on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 QUICK IT'S MELTING! lol Just joking... I really like them actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 but why, Charlie? Anyway, you've done it now. How does it compare to the Supra though mate? (Honest question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Not sure if this can be said without sounding nasty, but I think that looks hideous Without the body kit it'd be rather nice. 300's are a bit dated but still look better than 95% of other cars on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Now don't take this the wrong way but are you joking?? If not then it's interesting. Your gonna get alot of looks in it that's for sure. I think it's the bumper that puts me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Sorry but that is nasty And that rear spoiler is an abomination....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250horses Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 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 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 Not sure about the body kit myself - but I think it looks better than a stock Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 It was more than HALF the price of the supe I sold More than half? How much more? full engine re-build All 300zx have those quite regularly! 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. Zed has head restraints that support your head 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 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Cheaper it may be, but don't you feel embarassed driving it? A "Noicely" modded Civic will cost a few quit less than a Supra but I wouldn't been seen dead in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Git! Sorry to generalise I could have quoted Nova/Fiesta/Escort's but thought it best to stick to the Jap mark hence the Chavtastic civic. Thought you had a 200 though, they're RWD, front engined, turbo'd beasties, therefore good in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 i love 300zx's although the veilside bumper really doesnt suit it. they look much nicer and more modern in black imo. heres my old one http://hometown.aol.co.uk/LEE2SARE/300zx.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Nice one mate, really like it, hope your happy with it.....ive always had a bit of a soft spot for the old 300's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Whatever floats your boat...or in this case barge Sorry, only kidding widga, if it makes you happy, Im happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Charlie, The Spoiler has to go if you intend to turn upto the pub! 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. Enjoy...hope you get a new job quickly and can get another Supra - if that's what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
