and its not as tough as all the others

Hey hang on, the first car on the list here is a non-turb GTS!

There seems to be a lot more Targa cars around here than I first thought. There's only a hand full here in NZ. Mind you, none of you have any gravel pics yet. The last gravel sprint I was at had two Skylines competing...and more in the build!

well I can't find the gravel pics of my GTR - yet, but there's one in my avatar. They're only from an autocross though. Here's a couple from a tarmac rally last year. Photos thanks to www.suddenlysideways.com

My previous car - a Datsun 1200 coupe with 146rwbhp L18 built to Improved Production rules. having some fun at Morgan Park:

I swapped the GTR a couple of weeks ago for a mates 3J log booked Datsun 1200 coupe (plus some cash). Very similar to the 1200 coupe I built myself before the GTR came along, only with twice the horsepower thanks to the CA18DET... no pics of that yet

ok, I will throw up my nugget.

R32 GTR. run in club sprints and state sprints. had a few good results.

a few specs:

running ohlins (nismo) all alloy shocks with remote canisters and seperate bump and rebound adjustment

all adjustable arms (except LCAs)

big swaybars

cusco 8 point cage

~270rwkw

heaps of other gear. cobra evolution seat, lots of defi gauges, 34 GTR brembos a few sets of rims (33 GTR and enkei NT03 atm). lots of time and money spent on suspension work and set-up, and stuff like big oil cooler etc. way to much to add up.

Ah haa! That's what I want to see, using all the road and then some! Good to see you guys aren't scared to use the GTR for what it was built for, too many posers over here :rolleyes:

Here is my old loyal steed. Dont have many pics because it isnt really a thing if beauty, but here is

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
