I don't mean like a Ferrari or something....I mean same sort of budget.

It would be too easy to say a Silvia so that is why I say 'if you weren't allowed a Nissan'.

I'd be tempted to say an Evo VI or something but I've gone off them lately...they are a bit too 'try hard'.

Rexs are just a no-no.

S2000's have a great engine but are ghey in the final analysis (IMHO).

Falcon-doors are too common and boat like despite awesome power potentially.

Could never get a FWD hatch like a civic... :blink: . Hatches are for old people going shopping.

I like Supras.

MR2's are a bit ghey...lack road presence.

If I was gonna get a euro car it would be a Merc or Beamer, but the line between hairdressery euro car and 'cool' euro car is dangerously narrow, plus they COST.

So yeah I'd probably get a Supra.

LX SLR5000 (replica as a genuine would be waaay $_$), 400ci with a 6/71 blower hanging out of the bonnet and a manualised powerglide.. SKID MACHINE.

Sorry.. stopped dreaming (read: drooling), If I couldn't have my skyline.. I'd probably slit my wrists.

some of my cars of choice within budget would be RX7 RZ, BMW M3 or M5 (E36/E39), F6, or maybe even a boxster...ah what am I saying, why get a gay looking 986 boxster...

Boxsters' suck ass, I'd go a late 80's 911* over a Boxster anyday (my old lady has one and it's quite fun to drive, little bit faster than a stock 32gtst with some boost).

*This assumes I'm willing to pour the coin required into a 911 that old.. which I'm not :blink:

I guess really, if I had to pick something other than my 32 (and outside the Nissan family), it would have to be a JZX100 Chaser.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
