4 years ago when me and the wife bought our house when i decided i wanted a second car i knew i wanted a a jap sports car

i had £6k to spend

i thinned my options down to 4 cars SUPRA, RX7, GTO, and the ZED TT

 

the SUPRA at the time was slightly too expensive as i wanted the aerotop(targa) one as the hard top ones were quite popular especialy after fast and the furious.

the GTO was the least favourate out of the 4, didnt seem like a sports car more like a executive saloon.

the RX7 was and still is absolutley beautiful motor, but the fact most had engine rebuilds or needed rebuilds at 70k miles put me well off.

which left the ZED

it just seemed perfect, reliable, targa tops, nice to look at, fast, tunable and i couldnt find a single bad review. plus it was the cheapest of the lot.

 

and the rest is history i was the first british owner of a red j-spec 2+2 twin turbo with a few mods and a veilside front end and odd wheels(18s on the front 17s on the back)and i had cash left to spend on some new wheels. which ive since had resprayed, retrimmed, bodykit and a few more mods.

and i have never regreted buying it............

.......honest :D

Wanted one since I was "youngster" in the school playground. Marriage, Kids, work got in the way through the years.

 

Then in Summer 2004 the wife passed her driving test, which meant I could sale the Bmw 5 series for something less practicle and let her have the "family car".

 

Purchased Black 92 TT manual in October 04 after being on forum for a couple of months and not looked back since. Can't see myself ever selling, unless it was to buy another zed.

 

Then at the beginning of this year the wife decided we can fit the family inside a zed afterall, and forced me into purchasing a Silver 92 NA manual for her. :headvswal

Was looking for something to upgrade my Toyota Cynos - thought about Pulsars, MR2's Supras etc.

 

After starting my current job & seeing my bosses one i fell in love with the Zed's looks & road pressence, There's nothing like it on the road IMO.

 

After taking my bosses one out for a test drive & snaking up the road on full boost :bow: i decided this was the car for me..

 

Bought my boss's one a few months ago & have not regretted it - dispite a few setbacks. :headvswal

When i returned from Aus, I wanted a fast family car and being a fan of the Commodore (aka Ausie Omega) I natuarly got an MV6 omega.

 

But while looking for one a Zed cropped up and took my fancy, needless to say it was left alone cos its not family.

 

Then I staerted working with this guy with a poopra and the Zed kept popping into my mind.

 

So sod the family, sold the VX and got the Zed.

 

Awsome.

because it's the only car ever to make my stomach flip and my pulse race before i've even got in it! must be love...

Brought mine because i went to a silvia enginering open day probably 10 years ago now in my s13 and saw a few on display .Liked them ever since .
