Hey, I'm Ryan from Surrey, thought i'd share a little of my car background first.
First sort of performance car was a 350z.
One of my favoruite shots of the 1st zed loved how clean it was! The Japspeed K1 exhaust could be heard from anywhere with the decats!
I regret not driving this car as much I did, I bought it when I was 20 and it mostly sat outside the house was cleaned and serviced never driven
Then a good deal came up on another zed and I ended up with...
Nismo V2 Front Bumper with Carbon Splitter
, 07 Bulge Bonnet
,19" LMGT4's in Anthracite Grey
,Vortech v2 Supercharger Full Kit(Not Tuner)Polished
, Split Second Piggyback ECU
,Polished Intercooler Pipes
, Kinetix V2 Plenum , GT Spec Strut Brace
, Uprated Exedy Clutch
, Lightened Flywheel
, Arc Oil Pan (Rare- Possibly 1 in the UK?)
, Z Speed Undertray
, Custom Exhaust
, Brembo GT Big Brake Kit Ferrodo PadsDefi Gauge Control Box
, Defi Fuel Pressure Gauge
, Defi Boost Gauge
, AEM AFR Gauge
, Alpine Sat Nav in Cubby
Was a monster but again never had it that long as it wasn't driven!
Then the 330D which I really enjoyed, ate up the miles and was a pleasure to own. May be able to see Rob275s car behind, detailed by him! Once the BMW went I then had to save for a property so I have a Juke on lease but then the time came again to get another car...
After testing many cars in my hunt for a new project, I narrowed it down to the E92 M3, GT86, 370z, M135 and the S3. Out of all of them I found the GT86 to be the most involving and loved the driving position and how fun the car was to throw about, the only downside being underpowered. Fortunately, what I felt was the perfect base car became available thanks to Jonathan Wheat.

Pickup day!
Took a trip home to realise the standard wheels could not put the power down and new wheels and tyres were ordered.
Back of the daily Juke - a lot more fun than you could ever expect!
Sitting like a monster truck at the moment, but I can finally get the power down, loving it!
