Title as suggested ^_^ and holy crap I can't believe that we are already onto our 3rd thread, that's over 200 pages of car talk. We need cars.mmgn [Shifty]

For reference here's the previous threads:
First thread pc.mmgn.com/...
Second thread pc.mmgn.com/...
Car Modification thread pc.mmgn.com/...

PLEASE RE-SIZE ANY EMBEDDED IMAGES! either re-size them or just post a link to their location, large images make the page take longer to load and it kills anyone accessing the thread via the mobile app

Thank you.

Given how fussy you are with build quality you would hate the interiour of the Legnum, unless there's a luxuary model of that car.

Not the old square stagia, the new one that looks basically like a g35 skyline station wagon.

A lot of bodykits come with a matt black base coat on them. You'd think someone that has the money for a 350Z would have the money to paint the thing before fitting it.

It was painted, silver but not car silver, that cheap ass generic spraypaint silver.

I want one so badly, you can get them for like $20k used now.

Just noticed today just how cheap you can get a Sileighty.

Totally my next car.

Saw a 180 with an S13 front, all nicely resprayed and fitted with an S15 engine and turbine kit.

I actually looked at those when I was shopping for my car, but being a2 seater and the lack of raw power put me off. I didn't wait 10 years too drive another v6.

Jonoe, I'm still a fan of the rear [Shifty]

I hope the 86 convinces mazda to bring out a bigger brother to the mx5 but in coupe form (not an rx7/8 though) because they look pretty sweet.

Those Hella Flush cars are useless, you can't drive them anywhere.
That 86 looks decent though, like those rims.

lol..NO.....yeah..

Nah but really for a '10 model I can get one almost brand new for $17,990 drive away. Which seeing I will knock 200000kms on it in 4 years. So I will have it paid off and ready to buy a new one by then. My SV6 sadly will not last me driving to work everyday :'(

I wouldn't settle for anything less than an SR20. I'm not daft :)

The 86 release keeps getting closer and closer.

I keeping an original 86 around uni. dl.dropbox.com/... That's a legit carbon bonnet.

I thought that would be the case but you know I had to rag on ya :P and if you are going to pump it filled with K's might as well do it something you plan on selling once you're done with it. So you going to keep the SV6 as well? could have it as your weekend car and do a few mods to it to make it more fun.

The Nissan Duke R concept project is now available for purchase as a special order, I had a feeling something like this would happen. Just take enough people with deep pockets to get something like that a reality.
I remember reading the comments in the Youtube video and there was a good number of people that though this car looked horrible. Personally I think it's far from looking amazing but it's not that bad. It has it's own wolf in sheep's clothing look to it, leave it matt black with the black rims.

The ultimate sleeper.

I wouldn't pick a car that size for having a 3.8L V6 TT inside it at the lights.

Cousin put a deposit on the new 86. Intradasting...

Dealer told him it'll be cheaper than a Golf GTi which is 38k. so 35~. Not bad.

Thats very reasonably priced.

Being a subie engine I think we can expect a good modding scene.

Yeah it's not a bad price for a brand new sports car, the only thing about that car that would kill me is that it feels like it has to be modified in order too get the most out of it. If buy the car and throw another 15K+ at it.
If car yards were smart they'd have a bunch of extra options available for people to check off, like body kits, wheels, engine mods etc.
