106s were mainly caged track cars, great fun! Integra was well sorted stock imo, though I did modify it. Elan was stupidly quick in the end, handled like a dream with the semis to.

Miss my petrol hatches. N/A FTW.

Is that in build quality? Or engine??

Both! TFSI engine is a cracker! Mind you my primera GT was the best handling car ive ever owned.

Thats a good list kenish

I rate the Vrs high for an impressive diesel car

Yes skyline loved the pumps but the Silvia loved them more lol

Mk1 was a daily hack / family wagon. I had the Lotus during that time for a quick car.

Mk2 has some little bits done, but again a family wagon so I won't mess about with it.

I keep trying to find a new track car, but in the middle of moving houses.

You should buy mine, seriously. Unless something drastic happens i'm placing an order for a new car in Sept, so delivery some time early 2013 i'd guess. If i could find a home for mine in advance i'd leave all the mods on rather than have the hassle of returning it to stock..
