Well guys, I hate to say it, but I've gone from my beloved spyder I've had the past few years to a V6
powered Mk2. I do miss the raw, no non-sense, feel of the spyder along with the superb handling, but I must say I love the new car. I had no intentions of getting rid of my, spyder, and was going to turbo charge my 1-zz this coming month, but the guy really wanted my car and negotiated a good deal. My spyder was a daily driver which has it's pros and cons as we all know, however, the v6 car is more liveable for myself. It drives and rides very smooth and pulls hard, and is a little more "civilized" for everyday driving. Just enough power for the street to have fun ,yet, well behaved when you need it to be. It handles decent, but obviously not like a, spyder. The new owner of my old spyder will be taking it to another level and swapping a 2gr into it. He may show up on this forum at some point. Hopefully he does so we can see.
I'd like to thank this forum for all the knowledge I've gained about the, spyder, over the last 4 years or so. It's definitely one of the few cars I'll always have tremendous respect for.
Here's my old solar yellow. Sure will miss it. I only had the top on it for a few months. :-(
Here's the Mk2. It's a 3vz-fe engine. Using an e-153 tranny, ACT heavy duty clutch, and new flywheel. The speedometer actually works properly too. It has kakimoto exhaust. Sounds so good. Not loud at all. Just a nice growl a little louder than a stock 350z. The outside of the car just needs a little love, which i already have plans for.
