I've been thinking about selling the FD lately and getting something new. I've owned the car 4.5 years, and I'm getting to the point where I'd like a new car, not something 11 years old. Unfortunately, my wife won't let me keep the FD and get something else, nor do we have the garage space for a 3rd car. If I do go through with this, I'd like to stay 2 door RWD but there's not alot on the market. The only thing that I really like (under 35k) are the 350Zs, which are an all around nice car. 287HP and 278Torque RWD 6speed isn't too bad IMO.



I figure I could get 17-18k for the FD, which means a small loan for the 350Z (27-29k for an 03 Performance model). I like not having a car payment, but certainly $200 more a month won't be noticable.



Bah, who knows.. maybe I will decide to keep it. Decisions like this are such a pain.

get rid of the wife and get 2 cars?

LOL! I don't see that as an option https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I am too attached to her. And besides, she's my sugar-momma.

then go get your pants out of the closet(where she evidently keeps them for you) and TELL her you are the boss and YOU are having TWO cars!

Well then either the new one or the FD would sit outside, which IMO isn't a good option. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I really doubt she'd let me take her side of the garage without one hell of a good fight!

you let her park in the garage?????





DAMN!!!!! can you say PW, I knew u could!

LOL! Since she makes more $ than I do, I don't argue with her on little things like that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

build anther garage, a MAN can never have too much garage space!

he's gonna get yer ass in TROUBLE :P



Sean

do you have or are you planning on having kids? rx-8 could be a good option. or maybe a skyline? what about GTO?

AMEN BROTHA!!! Words to live by!!



Why now keep the FD its obviously your high HP motivator. Then get yourself something newer and fun that you will not mind leaving in the driveway.



Personally, with the gas prices and all, if I had it to do over a Civic hybrid would be in my driveway instead of my mini.



Talk to 94touring before you get rid of your FD. You might find you will regret it after its gone.

We have no kids, nor will we (been fixed). Skyline would be too high for what I want to spend. The Rx8 might be a possibility.

I think it's just the fact it's 11 years old now, and every other week something breaks. 3 weeks ago my boost controller died, this week a hole appears in my KOYO. It's tough to convince myself it's worth it when there's always a problem.

the new skyline goes for about the same as the 350z and IMO, looks way better....

are you talking about the new skyline that they are talking about bringing to the us or importing a new one?

the one that came to the us...in japan the new skyline is our G35 coupe...



unless i was drunk when i was watching that best motring video that had what looked like a G35 coupe with a skyline badge...

thats what it is. is it here already?

I think he meant the G35...



Speaking of which my roomate just bought one...loves it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Somehow he get 34K out the door with the aero/brembo package, lol...brand new

new skyline coupe=g35



how about an s2000?

STI?

EVO MR?

Used M3

Used z06

Used camaro ss

Crossfire srt6(only comes in auto :( )

Golf R32

i dont think we are talking about the g35, if we were we would have said g35.

but some people here refer to american cars by their japanese names...like a 240sx by silvia...**** like that...cause the only "new" skyline is a g35...they don't make the gtr anymore

just keep the damn fd, i would kill to have that ******* car you dont know how much i want one and youre gonna sell it?!!??!! half the fun of owning a car is being able to work on it yourself

I know what he means though...sometimes you jsut don't have time to work on the car, plus all the lil **** that goes wrong. My friend just sold his modified 92 dsm....fast as hell, but he just got tied of the lil **** breaking. like the license plate lights would fall down..speaks..rattles..all that type of ****

new skyline coupe=g35 --- Maybe, haven't looked into them yet.



s2000? - not looking for a 4 banger.

STI? - possibly, but being AWD my wife would expect me to drive it in the winter https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

EVO MR? - see above.

Used M3 - actually, looking into these.

Used z06 - nah

Used camaro ss - nah

Crossfire srt6(only comes in auto :( ) - ick

Golf R32 - nah

hey lamotorcars.com has a beautiful m3

don't tell her that they are AWD https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png





is your FD modified at all?

2001 = BOOM! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

Yes, you can see it in the for sale section at this link:



https://www.nopistons.com/forums/ind...howtopic=42979

that laguna seca is the best color, and you cant beat that price with 16000 miles.

I agree that's a nice looking car. I've always been a fan of the M3. I sent LA Motorsports an email anyway.

Maybe get an Ultima GTR?! Get the kit and build her yourself!



Oh, wait.. $89k.. nevermind.

Actually, I think I will just end up banking the money for a while and getting some reliable (but cheap) daily driver. Seems the best route for now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
