I have a Peugeot 306 turbo diesel 1.9...great car to look at, had it for over a year now and so far had a new alternator, glow plugs, battery, break pipes, cam belt, fan belt (x2) and a host of other things....spent WAY too much money on it and the cost of taxing the bu**er is hurrendous!

I am hoping that now I have had all the basics done on it it should run for a while.. :lol:

And dont get me started on merchanics in my area...they see me coming and think "mug"

Its cheaper for me to make a 400 mile trip to get the car to my dad (who's a mechanic) than it is for me to go to my local garage!

Right mow my rant is over those are some nice looking cars!
 
lovely Rex mate, i drove a friends 450bhp big single turbo RX7 and that was utterly bonkers :D

stock for stock my old Supra twin turbo was quite a bit faster than a UK Rex (probably because it had nearly 100bhp more) but nowhere near as engaging to drive...

I looked at supras as well when i got the RX but i wanted a manual T top twin turbo and there just weren't any to find for less than 7k so i took the other option and i'm glad i did as it's a beast and imo looks a lot sleaker

i agree the rex does look a lot sleeker :good:

as for a manual T top twin turbo, unless you would be happy with a left hooker then you would be looking for a long time. they never released the T top in europe and in japan the T top was only available as an auto
 
Here's my 'other' hobby :p

94 uk S13 thats been fettled with all my own blood, sweat and tears ;) Last dyno'd about 18months ago at 356.41bhp so not entirely sure what it is now, should realistically be coming up to 400 :)
Even painted the car myself!

Of course they have, well no not really... its kinda killed itself in more style than that :p All forged now though and built for 450+bhp so we should be good :D

As for sxoc, yes - one of the head mod's over there
