I'll be reaching this decision point in the next couple years. Currently I'm thinking a newer shape accord, some of them look quite good in my opinion.

Can get a k24 lump then stick a supercharger on it. Well that's what I'd like to do, you can pick these accords up for not a lot now too

Hadn't thought of those TBH. Great cars. A mate has the Galant 2.5 V6 in auto. Very smooth ride, torquey, but not really fast. I would probably have one but it's a bit too old for the mrs.

Never heard of it - must be rare! Had quick look but it looks too much like a Volvo so I know the mrs won't like that one either :(

RARE! I could live with one of those but it's a bit too old I think.

I agree about anything german (especially Audi) = kebab tattooed on yer forehead; it's the same 'round here.
Yeah true, I guess for me the chavometer reads Scooby > Evo.

I'd love to keep the prelude or get another old ish jap car, but now I'm self employed and getting very busy, I just don't have time anymore. Most weekdays I'm working till late, and only get the weekends to myself and the mrs. If I'm working on a car as well, on top of all the other things to do around the home etc. we'll never get any time, and I might end up being a bit of a useless dad if I carry on like that!

So we have to bite the bullet and get something a lot newer. I'm embarrased to say I might even pay extra for a dealer warranty :?

Time or money, money or time. Such is life.


You know you can get the gallant/ legnum in a 2.5 AND 2.5 twin turbo (280bhp!) So its probably just the n/a 2.5 your mate has, as for the stagea....it has an 2.5 neo turbo engine from the skyline r34 gtt, easily one of my favourite engines.

It's the SpecV in midnight purple that's dangerous for me...well, if the advert wasn't quite so illiterate.
