Nah its a R34 GTT mate, wanted rear wheel drive action to keep it exciting but its not !!!! its quick dont get me wrong but the accleration is too smooth so you dont feel the full boost like you do in the RX :Grrr

Quite good on juice, obviously not as greedy as the RX but manageable for sure, full tank was approx Â£40, filled last Sunday been driving all week now on half a tank :Laugh

I think the Evo\'s are more thirsty than the R34, but depends on power output too and how you drive it of course,

Yea Auto with tip-tronic option and steering wheel gear change option, one of the things that make it boring, although at times easier to drive :2Confused

similar with me, crashed my rx november last year, and had a moment of wierdness when the insurance finally paid out so bought a nissan 200sx s14a on the whim that it might be more economical & practical (i\'ve got two kids!), but although its loads more comfortable and roomy it just isn\'t an FD and the all-out buzz isn\'t there - but its still pretty quick - i\'m waiting until i can afford to run an fd as a third \'weekend\' car, hopefully sometime next year :-)

Running the 330 I am really surprised by how uneconomical it is on fuel! The RX was not much worse.

Please tell me you havent turned into one of those Beemer drivers that always sits on my tail whenever I seem to go anywhere then overtake in a really stupid place !!!

Why do they think that their 320 is faster than a Rex lol

Nice to see you are still around mate.

How much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking ? looks very nice :InLove

Its a horrible feeling mate. I think of my old FD almost every day...i\'m deffo getting another one....not sure when, but i miss her sooooo much!!! The only saving grace is the the new owner is taking good care of her.

Once the new house is completely decorated, kids off to school and wife returns to full time employment......

What\'s the 330 like Steve? My brotehr in law traded up to one just after I got my (standard) Rex, haven\'t had the opportunity for a tussle yet, I assume I don\'t have much to fear?

Steve Burnett · October 16, 2006, 10:33:37 PM

Nothing at ALL!!!!!! Its about as quick as a TT Turbo(225bhp) or a civic type-R (197bhp).

Wish I still had it!!!
