1984 Ford Bronco 2 4x4 (oversized AT tires) Traded in for Tiburon

1997 Hyundai Tiburon FX (Chrome wheels, Exhaust, Stereo system with subs.) The mod bug started to get me on this one. Traded in for Eclipse.

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS OZ edition (Focal F5s, Skunk2 coilovers, Tenzo F+R strut brace, GReddy SP exhaust, DC sports Ceramic header, Resonated Test pipe, AEM Cold air intake) It was slow but I loved this car. Sold!

2002 Honda 600F4i (Two Brothers CF slip-on, Rear undertail with LEDs and plate bracket) Stolen!

2005 Honda 600rr (Full carbon Yoshimura slip-on, LED conversion to rear pegs with powder coat) Sold!

Nissan Sentra 1.8L.....

nuts4nissan09 · 08-18-2010, 07:21 PM

2006 Dodge Charger r/t, red w/ black and tan interior. Drove it 32,xxx miles and loved the torque (390 lbs/ft). Build quality was not what the 370's is. I miss that car. It was a big bruiser, comfortable highway cruiser. I averaged 21 mpg w/ it versus close to 25 w/ the Z and I beat on the Z alot more than the Charger. I'd like to get another sedan someday.

My first and last car was a 1996 Saab 900se turbo 'vert with 36,000 miles on it at the time I sold it... It was heavily modified with every single bolt on available for the chassis, Koni shocks, 50# injectors, GT28 turbo, big FMIC, custom tune, full 3" turbo back stainless steel exhaust, Borbet type FS rims, EBC redstuff pads, and on and on. I loved that car, it put down 285whp/290ftlbs which equates to roughly 350chp because of the drivetrain loss due to the automatic transmission.

I slaved over it to bring it as close to perfection as I could, but fundamentally the car was only good in a straight line and I did not enjoy the feeling that every WOT pull could be the last for the transmission.

I love the RE86. I had a 1986 GTS coupe. It is one of the few cars I really wish I kept.

'02 3.5 Altima that was totalled by hail back in May, thereby allowing me to use the oppurtunity to get the Z!

knifehand45 · 08-26-2010, 03:36 PM

I drove a 93.5 toyota supra 2JZ twin turbo with an aftermarket gt35 setup. It was pure sex but then I moved back to the states and had to sell it

mrrrkva · 08-26-2010, 08:13 PM

2004 350z, 94 300 twin turbo 85 300zx 82 turbo 280zx, 83 280zx, 73 240z

And a few other unmentionable cars (they werent Z's)

wolf370z · 08-26-2010, 11:27 PM

Traded in an 04 Mini Cooper S for the Z. Had a nice list of mods planned out but decided against it... car had about 75k miles on it not to mention I got very lucky. I only had to replace the driver's side window motor once myself (NO SHOP TOUCHING MY BABY!!) and the power steering pump never went out on me. Both are common issues with the MCS's. Luckily I didn't turn out like the guy who replaced the window motors 9 times, LITERALLY NINE TIMES. Oh and the power steering pump ALONE (NOT LABOR) is $600. Ridiculous BMW, absolutely ridiculous!!

That is probably the greatest deal I've ever gotten and will get on a Z.
