Just a rough ball park figure, how much does one of these cost to keep on the road each year? I have been told that I will spend at least £2000 a year on general maintenance, which is a touch steep! I'd only be doing about 3000 miles per year, so thats quite expensive!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Things have gone a bit obsessive now. I was working nights when I posted my last post, and got home and was really tired. The misses was awake when i was sleeping, and apparently I was talking about 300zx's in my sleep, and told her there was one on the driveway!!!!!! :D :wack:

Greg, thanks for that mammoth answer! Just what i wanted! I'm in the process of trying to sell my modded Ford Focus, so as soon as thats gone, I'll be in the market for one of these. I went and sat in one at a local garage to check that i could actually fit in it (6'7" tall!) and thankfully, it was a nice sporty driving pisition for me. The clutch was really heavy though. It was apparently standard apart from the exhaust, but is it normal to have a really heavy clutch compared to a modern car?

Cool, I've had a read through that but it still doesnt tell me what the differences are between a UK and a Jap car. Any advice?

Hi there guys, Just signed up to this forum after browsing for quite some time as a guest! I've read lots of articles, and trawled back through all the cars for sale this year. The misses got so fed up she went back to bed...whoops! :rolleyes: Anyway, despite reading loads, there are still a few questions that I have. What are the differences between the UK cars and the Jap imports? I understand that the uk cars suffer from more rust, have more power but are cheaper to insure? Is that right? Are there any other differences? I'm sure I'd want a TT manual, not to fussed on the colours, but is there any more info on whats good or not good to look at buying? Many thanks, Matt
