What is your car history?

[Adam L]

Well the S15 that I have put a deposit on has been a dream I've had for a long while now. Now, I'm finally in the position to own one.

I've gone from a bunch of R5GTT's, to Pulsars, Escort RST's, S14a's, Omega V6 (tow car), to temporarily driving my missus' yellow Saxo (ssshhhh), and now the S15. At 24 I've had a lot of cars I think in comparison to my friends, I just get the "urge" very often. I've got drand designs for supercars, but let's see how I go with the Silvia first eh! What about you?

First car was a MK4 Golf 1.6 16v - bog standard as was my nan's car. Blew the gearbox
Next car was a MK5 Golf GTI 2.0T - quite modified, was running 250BHP and 280 torques
Now an S15 - RWD beats FWD any day!

My first car was -93 Nissan 200sx S13. I was in love when I get it :smitten:
She had bigger intercooler, greddy dump, D2-coilovers etc. basic mods...
My friend drove it to the wall and it was totalled.

After that I get VW Golf Mk1 Karmann Cabriolet for the summer. It was nice to drive convertible. It was very low and basic euro-look-mods with kawasaki green paintjob.

I sell it and bought Ford Sierra with little mods for the winter..

AND now I got my dream car, Silvia S15 and I'm only 21

Lets see what I'm going to buy for next winter...

My first fast car was a Renualt 5 GTT loved it to bits and kept it for over 5 years! when did you have yours, and did you join up to the RTOC?

My list isn't that good but always loved fast cars, but I get attached to mine and find it hard to move on.. (plus its a pain in the arse)

Ford Feista with a massive 980cc engine! wasn't even a 1ltr lol...
Renault 5 GTT (my first love!)
Ford escort (back to being boring)
Seat Leon Cupra R (kids came along so needed something big and fast)
Volvo C70 2.4 (still got this today as my 2nd car)

And now have the S15

 

[DeanS15]

rosso red ford fiesta 'bonus' 1 litre 4spd with turbo bodykit - looked ok, very slow, handled fantastic on cut springs

arden blue vauxhall tigra 1.4 16v (dont ask - it had corsa mechanicals but looked nicer lol) actually a nice car, but girly. nippy for a 1.4, my first dip into basic tuning

steel silver mitsubishi fto gpx mivec manual - good car, good handling generally but all in all fails to live up to expectations for a jap sports car

pewter silver s15 + bogey green citroen saxo 1.1

other cars i used with the missus are a pug 106 gti and a suzuki ignis sport - both been good little cars.

 

[chelle83]

first was a vauxhall nova 1.2
second citreon saxo 1.2 vts - basic mods
third peugeot 206xsi 1.6 - quite modified
now - S15 S-type 2.0

 

[craig8585]

My 'proper' cars have been..

1. Rover 214 SEi (17) - Couldn't resist modding it a bit!
2. MG ZR 160 (18) - Totally standard but it was utterly immaculate
3. Civic Type-R EK9 (19) - Did a couple of little bits such as mugen exhaust etc
4. White S15 (20) - Bought it modified
5. MK2 Punto 1.9 JTD (21- present) - Yes, it is my daily driver but still couldn't resist tinkering. Lowered on eibach springs so it doesn't look quite as bad, sporting alloys with spacers, had it remapped too but it was destroying the clutch so I was sensible and had it took off! Actually handles fairly well now too.
6. Silver S15 (22-present) - Bought it modified plus have done a fair few bits myself too



But in between I've had these too as little earners on the side..

Seat Inca van
VW Caddy van
MK1 MX5 1.6 auto
MK1 Punto 55 - the worst handling car I have EVER encountered. Dangerous infact.
Honda Civic 1.6 auto
MX5 1.6 manual
A random motorbike that I bought from ebay as it was cheap
2x Honda Cub 90's want another too, they are ace.

 

[tooley]

[JaseYpk]

Everyone has had so many more cars than me!!

Peugot 106 1.1 - when i was 17, gold lovely thing.
BMW E36 316i (1.9l 2000 plate) - 19/20, black. with wolfrace alloys and a sub & ice & red lighting. BANGIN'
BMW E90 320si (limited edition wtcc homologation model (300 in the uk), carbon fiber engine bay & detailing, plus bored out engine so nearly a full 2000 capacity) - 20, Underseat subs & alpine speakers
Nissan Silvia Spec-R - My current daily drive once its back on the road! bought it as soon as i was 21! Had it 9 months now

I like 'unique' cars, as you can tell from my list (minus the pug). The e36 wasnt so much unique but only in production for 2 years with a 1.9.. and i've STILL never seen another S15 on the roads to date

And now have the S15

I've been on the RTOC for nearly 8 years now, and had four 5 GT Turbo's. I still go to the National Day meets and other big events as alot of the older members are good mates now.

Thinking over all the cars i've owned in the 7 years i've had my licence... It's 13. Nearly all of them have been turbo too.

 

[Yakozan]

These are the cars I've had from start to finnish... so far

VW Golf 1.8 -95
Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-R -99
Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T -95
Mazda RX-7 FD3S -94
Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T -93
Subaru Impreza STI -97

Still have the 93 R33 and the STI. But I'm going to try and sell both of them and get me a Impreza STI Type-RA -99 limited ed.
That should be lots of fun in the snow

 

[Darren_S15]

18 - Ford Fiesta 1.3 LX in black - learned alot from messing with this car, even if it did look a bit chaavy at the end.
21 - Mitsubishi FTO GPvR in white - great car, handled great just lacked power after a while.
23 - S15 Spec-R in pewter - not planning on replacing this one for a while yet.

Pretty boring list really compared to some.

I went to the frist National Day and then the next 4 or 5 I think. Even went once I'd sold my GTT like you. Last time I went it was at bruntingthorpe (I went in the Leon Cupra R).

My board name was AK and I'm still very good freinds with Davegtt (he used to be on the forums all the time so you might know him).

We was going to go this year but don't think we can make it now. You going this year?

 

[Adam L]

I was at Bruntingthorpe too and a few of the Pod ones before. It's been at Mallory Park for the last three years, which is a good venue.

I will indeed be there this year, in the S15. I may take it on track too, undecided yet.

If you pop along and see me, come and say hello

 

[S15AK]

What is your name on the rtoc? I might remember you.

I still talk to lomo every now again, I reckon you should know him as he still has a gtt and a clio v6

What date is the Nat day this year?

 

[Adam L]

I'm Adam L on there too, conveniently.

Yup, know Lomo too, should see him there this year. It's on the 14th of August, so only a couple of weeks away now. The missus and I will be there about 8am on the Saturday and staying till Sunday.

Not bad at all! ^^

I really want to get an EG6 SiR or another EK9 but it would have to be my daily car and their not exactly economical. Well, they probably are but not if you drive them properly. And 4000rpm @ 70mph gets slightly annoying too!

 

[Toby]

I do Miss my Hondas, however FWD juest doesn't inspire me like a boost from the ass does!!

I think a DC5 is well up on the list next, but not for some time!
