- A couple of months.

- Imported it.

- Manual. Coupe. White Pearl. Premium. 20" wheels.

- I dont want to add it up but it is a tad over $30k.

- No problems other than dodgy installation of immobiliser during compliance.

- About 500km.

- Not fast enough (havent tested, but over 6 seconds?).

Cheers for that, so your not happy with the speed? I was under the impression it would be a bit of a beast on the roads (haven't had a chance to test drive any yet).

definately way faster and beastier than your subaru RX.

[Touge Kyousou]

-1 year and 1 month roughly

-Dealer, fresh import

-V35 coupe manual 2003

-Base $32500 driveaway, i paid a bit more to get some stuff done/changed

-1 major problem...it dyno'd at 130rwkw.. fixed now and it's putting out 170rwkw @ ismr (where stock z's with same motor do 150's)

-Fixed through giving car TLC.. i.e. changing all fluids and some consumables since me buying it. So no cost really, i see it as maintenance

-About 400kms, i'm fairly heavy on the right pedal

-5.9s, was quicker before but i have less rear grip on launch now due to moving to stiffer springs and using street tires again

My comment was tongue in cheek - no matter what someone drives, dont we all wish it was at least a little bit faster?

Anyway. They have a good powerband for driving around town. Which is what I use it for and it is more than adequate for the job.

In terms of raw straight line speed they are probably slower than the large majority of other "sports" cars. You might be able to peel away from the lights faster than hondas and family sedans.

That's a bit discouraging, if I "might" be able to take off quicker than honda's and sedans lol.

1. Since Oct last year i think

2. Import myself, Help from prestige motor sport

3. Coupe 70th anniversary

4. Total $29,000

5. Pulls to the left(maybe the tyres), Bonnet did not push down hard enough on the sensor so when i drive fast enough or over a big bump the windows would go up and down fixed put a stopper to push down on the sensor harder Ask me if you want more details.

6. $2.78. rubber stoppers are not cheap

7. 500k at a guess, alot more when i drive to and from Perth (i live in Gero 465k north of Perth) I might be able to get there and back on a full tank.

8. I can beat a XR6, good enough for me. i have mods Intake and Plenum Spacer.

Go get one join the club
