"Scooby Doo" Rhymes with "Subaru" hence Scoobys :)

Hi speedfreak, the cut of date is the 28th feb..... so come on lads this will be a great event and im sure you'll do well!! :dance: Martyn

It can't take that long to get to 120 mph, can it??? :D

arry, isn't the top speed trap at 1.7 miles, it was last year?

It won't just be one run......at the last TSC. I got 3 runs in, and that was only because that was all I wanted to do but I think most people got between 4-6 runs in and that was with one car at a time, this time there will be two lanes in use just like santapod and elvington (aka TOTB) :)

It's organized by the 200SX guys see this thread.... mind you it doesn't look like the 300 is up to the job :tongue: :D http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=28688

Here's an up to date list of cars taking part in this event, NOTE the lack of 300's in there.....surely there's some "fast" 300's out there that could compete!! :) RICHARD BEAUMONT RICHIE S13 GEOFF BOSTON BUBBLE S14A KEVIN DUCKWORTH SM ZOOM S14A JEREMY MARKHAM JEREMY200 S13 CHRIS LATHAM ENIGMA S14A PAUL NEWMAN PAUL NEWMAN S13 N.

Is there no interest in this event ??......there will be quite a few GTOs there including me :)...... so it would be nice to see some of you 300 guys there too. cheers Martyn

Hello everyone, I think that most of the GTO lads would like to put this off for a couple of months as quite a few of them are having work carried out on their cars and are not ready yet, but i think they're still up for the challange if its later in the season. I should still be coming up to the pod on the 25th jan as "i think" is a few other's but the general feeling is that it will be very busy as its the first "RWYB" of the year. Hope to meet a few of you guys there..... cheers Martyn (black GTO TT)

The Skyline you toasted was probably a GTS (single turbo) and to be honest they are not that fast......now if it was a GTR then you would of probably been toasted yourself so i don't see your logic when you say you will "obliterate" a GTO when the GTO is faster than a GTS Skyline :rolleyes:

Well said that man :)

Hi everyone, I've got to say that i love both cars :) their both great looking and in the real world roughly the same power and performance. It was a very tough decision to make between the two, i test drove a few of each.......... one of the 300s i drove was mental, 80-130 mph was unbelievable due to the fact it was running 1.2 bar i think, but it did have a bit of a problem with traction in 1st and 2nd...... the only reason i didn't buy it was the bodywork wasn't all that :( So at the end of the day with winter upon us and because it was the best example of both of the cars, i went with the fourwheel drive of the gto and im very pleased with it :) To sum up both cars gain alot of respect on the roads and it is hard to pick between them so its down to personal preference or in my case whichever one came up first. rgds. Martyn

sorry mate but im after a manual.........went back today for another look and to check some things out after reading the buyers guide and it was sold lastnight :( oh well suppose i should of put a deposit down yesterday..... Does anyone know any good uk manual's for sale not to far away from norwich or east anglia. cheers Martyn

Forgot to say its a manual and there's a vibration that feels like the propshaft is out of balance or something........is this a common thing as the only other 300 ZX i've been in also did the same.... thanx for your help guys.. Martyn....

Hi everyone im looking for a 300 zx twin turbo, seen one today, its gunmetal grey, 1992 k, 90,000 miles on the clock, leather int, price is £4000 which sounds good but the bodywork is not all that great eg. the nearside door and back quater has been resprayed (rather badly) and the drivers side rear wheel arch has rust bubbling and the whole car just looked grubby, its also has had a boost upgrade to 1 bar with a reciept for £246 does this sound about right ? oh and it go like stink ;) Can someone please advise me if the price seem to much for a car in this condition as im a bit blinded by the performance of it. cheers Martyn ps. its a uk car.
