Post My S2000 time has come to an end.....

I've managed to swap my S2K (well swap and a little cash) for a fully forged & caged 600hp R32 GTR (Tomei engine), huge spec but fairly understated looks wise, well compared with some! As many will know it's a great time to buy cars, this one had 10k spent on the engine alone!

I must say I've thoroughly enjoyed owning an S2000, apart from the odd TCT rattle it's been faultless, great fun and I'm sure I'll be back. I'll definitely miss having the roof down getting a tan but I can make up for it on the sun bed

I'm quite impulsive when it comes to car and like to chop and change frequently so the R32 makes a refreshing change, back to turbo power for a while! I'm sure the new owner will be coming on here so say hello when he does. For now a few pics of my new beast

Thanks Mugen what Evo do you have? My personal fav is the 6.

I've had Scoobies/Evo's/M3's and countless stupid cars before so it's all to be expected. I also own a certain JDM related tuning business so am a dab hand with mechanics, trade prices and also have trade insurance so cars like this are just about afordable to run!

Regardless know where your coming from :-)

Also who is Puppy?

Thanks mate me too! What did this Puppy chap go for or try and go for a GTS-T?

I looked at R33's but to be honest I prefer the R32, R34 GTR's were 20k + for a stockish example so will be a while before I can contemplate a 600hp version of one of those!
