i know what ya saying i paid £86 fully comp on my old mini 998cc last year lol thats now a 1030ccturbo mini stripped & super lightweight but too cold to use as a daily + way too loud, with its straight cut gearbox etc etc, the other reason i git a silvia, warm-ish,comfy very! reliable????? yeat to find out! but beast of all its rear wheel drive, i could drift my old eunos mx5 easily but the silvia is a bit harder, no lsd, i dont really want to weld the diff on my daily
sorry i've gone a bit off topic, i'm just chuffed i can hit the streets legally & if the weather gets a bit nasty i'll be out doing some drift practicing in an ind est in the snow/frost/rain lol
i already understnd why you chaps like the s12, close to the handling of an mx5 just lighter on the back end when you put the power down, its a modern capri lol
