Did anyone else spot the Nissan Micra club at Athlon Park today. i drove past and pulled in to check it out. There were about 20 Micras there, a good turnout for what i wouldn't really consider an enthusiasts car.

Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

>Actually I'm pretty sure it's the other way around dude.

I was going to say "I know, I was joking, I just thought it was a funny coincidence".

But then I got curious and decided to have a look...I went to:

http://www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/ferra...mary/index.html

and couldn't find any Ferraris that had the four round tail lights before 1963 (which was when the first Skyline was produced with that tail light configuration). See:

http://history.jbskyline.net/

Can anyone shed some light?

poor mans ferrari! i'll have you know i think the 355 is the most beautiful car ever so phhth right back at you!!! eight cylinders of full-house forged everything italiano with a couple of well-sized turbos, twin water to air cooling, m800/cdi/adl, dry sump, fully adjustable suspension, bracing/seam-welded chassis, custom carb fibre widebody w/underbody diffusers, puuuuuuurrrrrfect paint, a set of custom forged mg wheels, 8spot 400mm-ish/4spot 350mm-ish brembros fr/rear, ultra-exxy lightweight topshelf stereo (mcintosh/dynaudio/milbert/velodyne/tru tech/rainbow/apogee/phoenix gold -clicky- et al), hewland transaxle, interior made from the skin of magical, blessed and holy cows over perfectly shaped custom seats/dash/trims etc, number plates "FERRARI" and an "engineering approval certificate" from ferrari themselves... will do just nicely thankyou!!!

like i said at wakefield, you don't own a vspecII or n1 32 so you've got yourself a poor mans skyline!! ha! and sorry "mr... i can't afford dish volks" :chairshot :jump:

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
