Drool..

http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index.php?s...=80079&st=0

someone from the rexnet forum was in japan and took some shots. Extremely clear. Really highlights how nice this car looks.

Isnt it funny how a lot of us skyline owners are bagging the look of the new GTR where on a Rex forum they love it specially compared to the new rexy (although some may argue thats not that hard given the 'hatch' like design of the new rexy) but the more pics i see of the new GTR the more i love it, anyone seen any high res pics in black??

yeh white and black look porn

That new rex looks like a kia rio. I think they've made a big mistake with this one. The people that liked the previous WRX wont want to drive a car that looks like their mum's hatchback, and the people that would want to buy a little hatchback wouldn't be paying that much and wouldn't go near a WRX...so that leaves their potential market with the die-hard subie fans that will buy it no matter what it looks like.

The lancer Evo X isn't much better IMO. The front looks very similar to an R34 GTR except that they've coloured it different to make the grill look different. Not saying they copied it, just that it looks good BECAUSE its a design that has looked good on other cars.

The rear of the Evo looks like a cheap honda though. just my opinion but I think they could have done a lot better with the styling of the rear.

On the whole though I'd definitely pick the lancer over the wrx. The front just looks mean. ;)

I think both WRX Sti and Evo are actually SLOWER than the previous models, although they'd hopefully be more economical. Still, would the buyers of these cars really care if it were the other way around (ie. faster & use more fuel)? I reckon it'll just push the prices of the previous models up a bit as people rush to buy the last good Evo/Sti.

Here's hoping the new GTR will bring R34GTR prices down so we can all afford one of those... (apologies to those who own one now...i'm just jealous) :(

    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.
