This is what I had before my Z4
Nissan Silvia (it is actually a Silvia, japanese import spec)
Road legal track car.
Engine swapped, LS1 with monkfish magic cam, livernois ported heads, blah blah blah probably about 450hp at the flywheel.
Sikky conversion kit, full custom engine loom on stock ECU, full custom exhaust, Kaaz 1.5 way Race diff, Sikky Roll bars, full caged, Rocket Bunny boss bodykit (GRAMS repro version)
It sat on 315 rear tyres, they were beefy bois.
Bunch of other stuff I haven't listed.
I had to sell this because I simply ran out of funds, it cost me £1200 a year to insure and I still had a ton of stuff I wanted to do to it that would never get finished.
I own the Z4 because I wanted something cool that wouldn't need much stuff doing to it, and it certainly fits the bill.
If anyone else has/had some cool toys please show me!

It did sound good, not loud enough though because it needed to meet track sound limits

Man that's nice, there was a time I could afford a V8 R8 but I went another direction.
I don't regret it, but I do always wonder what it's like to own one.

I had this for a year. it was a nice car, but no way worth the ~£55k price tag. I have just as much fun in the Z4 at almost a 10th of the price.

Ooh best colour too. Interesting point of view, I had suspected that my Z4 coupe would feel rather similar to the new Supra, given their lineage.gadgetJunky72 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 12:19 pm I had this for a year. it was a nice car, but no way worth the ~£55k price tag.

Good to know it's not worth the hype.

Always useful in a car, that
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

It's definatley cool to say you've owned a super car. Coming back to down to z4 is not the one but it's just not worth the hassle to me, it spent more time in the zed shed than in my garage, there's definatley something to be said about buying the cheapest one you find
