    as i go through some old photos i found my old silver 300zx , i miss this car, i should never have sold it, this was a factory TT auto 2+2,
    small mods had built auto and 3.5 stall converter in it 15 psi boost, pod, exhaust i did do a full plenum job on it no boost leaks lol , stock everything else for back then she moved out of the hole no problem, it had a nava? selector on it as well
    what an animal it was, super clean ive yet to see a cleaner example super low ks
    im not sure who remembers this one from back in the day
    if i could go back, i would have stored this car away and forgot i have it till i got old enough to use it as a Streeter,
    i have asked around if anyone knew where the car is but no chance of this as this was now over 20 years ago
    a nice lady bought if back then
    what car have you sold and regret it?

    2001 Ford Laser KQ SR 1.8 manual (or 2.0) same as Mazda BJ 323 SP2.0
    Had it for many years and passed it on to my daughter and it got replaced by a Subaru XV. After a few yrs, I got it back from her! LOL
    I know, I know... it's not a boosted Nissan beast but it's the BEST car I've ever owned. I still have it and drive it on a daily basis.
    Reasons:
    - Lightweight at just over 1000Kg, stops on a dime with 4 wheel disk brakes and they aren't like tiny ones either for this type of vehicle.
    - The steering response, super sensitive changes direction instantly, no delay.
    - 1.8L FP revs like a maniac with a great torque curve. *5th gear doing 50km at about 1700 rpm and pulls uphill in the same gear. Intake trickery from factory. At 6-7000rpm, a pure sawing machine, the sound!
    - Frugal in every category, fuel, parts, whatever.
    - Comfortable
    - Super reliable, forget a Toyota these are even better!! It makes the Europeans look like they just invented the ICE in terms of reliability. Currently @ 345,000kms, 185psi on all cylinders. NO LEAKS :)
    - The rear suspension design, oh man... is 'genius' IRS with bars all over the place, actually the whole freaking chassis is solid as a rock and when pushing it around corners is SOLID as.

    Mods: (just for the look) no real improvement from factory setting in terms of handling. OEM Springs are already on the hard side for this type of vehicle.
    - Lowered 3cm all around for that stance look with progressive springs and Gabriel shocks. Makes a huge difference to the stance.
    - 17x7.5 all around fill the guards right to the edges = perfection.
