Z4 sucks unless its the hardtop ones even then needs to b an M or something.

They suck for space too boot doesn't exist and a4s are just nasty unless it's te new model full specced

more for style than performance. not fussed over space either aslong as im comfortable...

Good idea. I was heading down this exact path a while ago...still haven't ruled it out. Have you driven one yet? I was never a huge fan until I test drove one. They feel like a big go kart, nice and tight, very capable feeling and easy to drive, fun little car. Only thing I gave my Skyline over it was the performance factor. Obviously a lot harder to extract that out of the Honda, but they do alright as a standard car. I think S2000s have dropped in value as much as they are going to. Keeping in mind they were an 80k car brand new, you can now pick them up between 20 and 30, it's a bargain. Try and get one with a glass rear window rather than the perspex.

Nah, I haven't driven one, but from what I've heard of people who own them they are great cars to own. I've owned two Honda Preludes and for a front wheel drive, n/a car they are quite fun to drive. I think it's good to see that they are holding their value since you can get a 350z or rx8 for about the same price even though they are both newer. The only thing holding me back is the lack of power but from what I've seen they aren't that slow. I'm getting to the point where I want something that is nicer to drive, more economical, more reliable but still great fun.

Yep, any criticism I've heard about them has usually been from people who haven't driven them, which is just dumb.

Like all Hondas they hold their value well (look at the CRX). And unlike the Z, there is nothing to supersede them, so that's probably another reason. They aren't slugs, just nothing you'd go dragging turbo imports with. I would have thought the 9000rpm engine would have you wringing it to move anywhere, but they have no trouble moving along in the daily traffic. Anyway, like I said, go drive one and see what you think...but I reckon you'll choose one over your Skyline if you don't mind spending the money on a 10-12 year old car.

yea? they look roomier than s2k's and i fit fine in them but i'll check one out and see how it goes

But do you really want to drive a slow car :D I bet when some P plater in a XR6 turbo rocks up next to ya and smokes you off the lights your going to wish you had gotten a GTR, or a M3 or something :P You should totally get a new Ford GS.. absolutely amazing cars for the $$

And yes I've been in a s2k nice cars but seemed a bit slow (in a straight line at least) and too small for my liking.

he/she would only smoke me if i actually raced him/her :) its only a cruiser, if i wanted to smoke cars at the lights i'd get a 3 grand vl turbo and spend the rest on the engine...

im definitely getting an e46 m3 its one of my favourite cars of all time just cant justify spending that kinda cash atm. not going over 30k.

Yeah fair enough, it all comes down to what you actually want from the car just make sure your certain when you decide! Only thing I hate about my car is the age really.

And nah just keeping the R figure I'll just save for a nice cruiser sooner or later and use the R for track / weekend - really loving the Ford GS but saving for a road bike first :P

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
