Million dollar question, if you had to keep one car which would it be?

I guess the guy with the WRX and 370z should take notes from here on haha

The evo is more practical... 4 doors and AWD. it can be driven in any weather. BUT, it is loud, obnoxious, gets bad gas mileage, and clunks and rattles like it might fall apart. It is a fun car that is blast in all conditions, but would be a car that is hard to live with on a daily basis

the Z is a car that cruises great. Gets good mileage on the highway. Very impractical though -> two seater with basically no usable trunk/hatch space.

Each car makes me appreciate the other. if I 'had' to pick it would come down to me living in MN and the evo can be all year round transportation if I needed it to be -> so I would pick the evo

KW V3 coilovers

great choice :thumbsup:

right now the Supra is sporting some Megan Racing coilovers that are amazing on track, but leave a lot to be desired on the street. sooner or later i'm gonna pull the trigger one some Robispec KW v3's. i imagine that you're familiar w/ Robispec seeing as how he made a name for himself working on EVOs. well he helped design a KW v3 application for the JZA80 with shocks that are custom valved for whatever spring rates i prefer. the Supra guys that use them swear by them b/c they perform great on track, while barely changing the feel of the stock ride on the street...now i just gotta scrape together a measly $3000 🙄 LOL. but if you want KW's, you gotta pay to play 🙂
 
Love the car OP. It looks very clean and isn't ricey at all, which is a huge plus. I'm a massive Z fan, so you can imagine how much I appreciate your build.
 
Saw the Top Gear review of these last night..LOL, mate, the 350z got dumped on big time, a steaming pile of poo's it is......

Series 2, episode 8...

not sure your point considering the 350z was awarded the top gear magazine "car of the year" award in 2004

also keep in mind that these coilovers are supposed to be rebuilt every 2-3 yrs... you definitely gotta pay
 
Wonderful set of you cars you have there! I would assume that the RWD nature of the 350 makes it a bit more fun in the summer in comparison to the EVO. Any future cars/projects planned?

The evo you can just hit the gas and go. Just make sure you are pointed in the right direction. the Z can get a bit squirly if conditions aren't perfect.... if that is your definition of fun then I guess I would agree.


I wish I had the funds for more projects. I have a couple older cars that family is working on... My brother picked up a 5th gen fairlane coupe that I want to do something with, but really don't have the money right now.

At some point I want own an NSX and miata
