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!

That is certainly beefy more like an American muscle car . I like it apart from the spoilers sorry

. I bet it sounded the nuts

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

nice silvia!

i've just recently got rid of this, always wanted one, nice to have one at 32 but couldn't be arsed with the jealousy and the associated R8 tax

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.

Good to know it's not worth the hype.

It absolutely was, you could tell it wanted to kill you every time you drove it. I'd still have it now If I had the cash to keep building it.

Always useful in a car, that

It is if it's a track car.

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

Brad_B · Post by **Brad_B** » Fri Sep 24, 2021 4:18 pm

Yep, always bites you on the arse eventually going for the cheapest one.

Interested to see what you do with a z4 anyway. This is my current one (I've had 14

)
