geoffvalenti Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I've always liked the shape of 300ZXs. Maybe with not quite as large exhausts as that one Personally I think they look better with the Supra style, but shorter, spoiler, but its really all down to personal choice. The only thing that stopped me buying one a few years ago was all the horror stories about massive repair bills and electrical faults. Went to see one with no brakes, and I mean no brakes, (pedal on the floor) and the owner was still trying to take me for a test drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 That's horrible! Standard car looks 'ok' but that kit destroys the lines of the car, the exhausts are ridiculous and the graphics clash with the paint job. Sure a lot of cash has been invested but it also shows that money doesn't buy taste. I like the 300 for what it is, that one is a mess.

Winston Wolf Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Yep I agree ! A huge pile of mods bolted to two very large refuge bins stuffed full of 25k in crispy notes.YUK I'm sure its someones cup of tea but seems such a waste of dosh!! :angry: :flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Its actually better in the flesh!! i'm not a great lover of huge exhausts and he did go a little bonkers but thats why he did it he wanted something that caused a reaction and it does that well. Good cars, its a shame i didnt get a "normal" supra then i could have compared the 2 cars but my 300 was standard'ish body engine average modded but my soop is just mental Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I like 300ZX's but when they are made to look like that then....oh dear ! I still don't understand why people put lots of silly graphics onto cars and why when it comes to exhausts they think that making them that big actually makes people think that the car needs them that size.

But they do need them that big if it's a turbo, they need to be as big as possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 £10k aint bad for the amount of love an attention that cars recieved (or abuse and ridicule depending on how you look at it) Thing is I suppose if ya embarresed about being seen driving it you can just put ya foot down and lose em for dust. I suppose the thing about modding and styling is...its a very personal thing and if you take on someone elses car its like wearing someone elses underpants!!

Very aptly put But that's certainly one pair of £10k used underpants with skidmarks I'd steer well clear of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Like a few have said that car has had many many hours loveingly put into it so you got to respect that as i did with mine http://rides.300zx.co.uk/rides/2026/mk_zed_8.JPG This was my baby gone to nottingham now though Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Is that a standard 300 colour or is this a photo of the same car? (From JAE 2002). Looks really nice, subtle mods that work with the look of the standard car - nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the other one - shittest car around pretty much said it all - cheers matey i put a stupid amount of money into her 15k+ lol cars dont you just love them!! she had the best of everything and the last thing was a pair of GTRS turbos which i paid for from a tuning garage in the US and 6 months later then still were not here and i had every excuse under the sun like "they were washed away in the hurricane" "they have been shipped but i dont have a tracking number" "they have been damaged in shipment and all we got back was pieces but your air filters are fine to send on!!!" the last one was the best i think....they managed to break a turbo which is not an easy thing to do unless you start throwing them around but the flimsy air filters came out undamaged!!! so by this time i had lost the plot and sold the car then a cheque came along with my dual intake?? Just goes to show you never know who your buying from! i thought this tuning garage was a good quality place, i was wrong But life goes on and its nearly christmas Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
