IS200 manual sports-luxury - comes with an LSD

Slug off the lights, but once its running and you throw some corners it's a sweet car, just be prepared to shift lots - the close ratio 6 speed needs to be worked to get the most out of the engine.

Handles, brakes and rides well.

1g-fe sounds awesome at high RPMs

Economical and easy to park.

Requires a diet of 95RON+

Fun car + some luxury bits if you are into that stuff.

I'm biased though :P

this thread is pretty awesome. just sayin..

oh and i drive an R33 i paid 9k for 3 yrs ago, apparently worth 6-7k now even with all my mods. Probably best bang for buck in terms of performance (though some of the civics,non del sol CRX are nearly as fast) but its a thirsty beast. Im lucky to get 400kms out of a 60litre tank :(

oh and a Xalmon on these here forums just bought a manual Soarer he likes very much, again though turbo, heavy and probably quite thirsty.

As much as i hate to side with the FWD crowd if your after fuel economy they are hard to beat...

Lol- As soon as i saw the letters FWD being spoken of negatively, i knew it would only be a matter of time before warps chimed in. I swear he must have a cold chill come down his spine whenever fwd is mentioned!

To the op, i think the thread has come up with some awesome suggestions, just a matter of preference.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
