Just a Z32 TT 300ZX for me. Surprisingly, I would rate working on the cars as being on par with one another regarding difficulty. Even though the Z was a quad cam twin turbo, it was easy having all that room at the front of the engine to work in... And not having to work thought a 2 inch space beside the rear strut tower to get to the timing belt etc.! Mind you, having 2 less cylinders, 2 less camshafts, and 1 less turbo sure makes servicing easier.

Only been driving for four years 1994 Suzuki Swift GTi [Sold] - was car I learnt to drive on kind of inspired my next choice of car. 1989 Honda CRX EF (still own) - loved look of them and the rarity. Dislike honda build quality of the era. 1991 Toyota MR2 G Limited. - Day to day car thats comfortable and easy to drive. Still try and contemplate selling the CRX - but its by far one of the most fun cars to drive.

In my 6 years of driving here are my cars 1. Honda Civic 1989- first car love, written off in an p plater accident 2. Toyota Celica GT4 St185 1989- bought stock, did the usual mods, ebc, ct20b, full exhaust,rims , sound system. Sold it as it was taking too much of my time & money. 3. Honda Integra VtiR 1994- was modded, had too many little things wrong with it. V-tec was awesome. sold it after a year 4. Mitsubishi FTO 1994- I actually liked this car except for the semi-auto gearbox. Definately faster than the integra, on par with the slightly modded GT4. Sold it to get a MR2 5. MR2 sw20 1992- Have always wanted a mr2, but the two seater thing has always stopped me. Now I working full-time, I can afford to fix it and not use it lol  For motorbikes 1. Kawasaki ZXR250 2000- Seriously thought that I wouldn't upgrade from this bike. 21000rpm rev limiter. sounds like a F1 engine( well while on it, prob sound like poo poo for everyone else) 2. GSXR1000- fast, very fast. prob keeping it for a while
