Have fun saving for the house. Shame to loose the m3 but who knows what the future will bring! Maybe a nice mortgage, marriage, kids, and a station wagon or SUV. OMG KEEP THE M3...... .

A difficult but wise choice. It’s hard to believe you’re only 23; if more young chaps had your mindset, perhaps the entire country would look a little different… Or not. Who the hell knows! The cool thing is you wanted one, and you had one! Yes you’ll miss it, but you won’t die pissed off you missed out altogether. And yes, flipping $10k cars means you can taste everything. All the heroes of the 90s and early 00s that were out of reach, and now cheap and available. Such a cool way to experience different platforms and manufacturers… Keep it up, bro - we’ll enjoy living vicariously through your vids 😂

Kiwi have you thinking own fk2 type R someday?

Smart move!, I had the most fun in my cheaper cars! I have owned a total of 23 cars over the years, but when the time came to get some cash together I ran a Nissan pulsar worth $5K for 8 years, put my money into property and did pretty well! I can only wholly endorse your decision!

Aww man, it's a sad time for both of us, the IS-F is off to her new owner tomorrow, he seems like someone that's genuinely going to treat her as well as I did.

Definitely a true classic, thumbs up for being a straight shooter about the highs and lows of everyday life

If you had purchased a Mitsubishi 380 you would be in your house, renovations done, but you would have few friends.😅

I feel we need a fleet update and a video showing all the cars you have. Almost a Hoovie type video 👍🏼

Review the skyline 350gt sedan

Nooo 🥲🥲🥲

car flipping can be very fun. My friend and I go halves on cars down here in CHCH And we flip cars alot. Most recent was a 2014 Q5 we bought for $7000 and sold for $14000. I wish you all the best for the near future

I can tell you now saving up for a house is the wise choice especially in this market

Thanks for being honest with your reasons, you're definitely doing the best thing in prioritizing the house purchase. I unfortunately had to sell my FK8 to have enough for the house deposit. Last year I purchased the house and am very happy with how it's appreciated in value. I'm now looking for an investment property and I've also purchased another FK8 🤣 Fun can always come later - establishing yourself comes first. Good luck with it all 🙂

how much it go for as I was very keen but you didnt reeply so i bought a e39 m5

Best of luck with your deposit on a house, love your content ❤

How many kms did you even get to put on it since the manual conversion?

_Sad to see the M3 go. However as youve said, finances and buying a house takes priority. So in the end its a wise choice. Being happy with a 5 or 10 grand car is a good mindset to have and a lot of people around your and my age arent that. They all want the flash and luxurious car because they think they deserve it. But you summed it up so nicely about being content and happy with a 5 or 10 grand car to do things you want to do. That's a realistic mindset which a lot of people do not have. Im 22 and I have a 10 grand car which I'm perfectly happy with. It goes well and its not that expensive to run. And thats all you need. Good video overall. Im looking forward to seeing the new content!_

sexy

Adding in the obligatory Clarkson line I see 😅

I love watching this video man lol that Lica sounds so damn good from the interior.

Honda also makes the Civic Si though its just limited to us here in North America

Add an OTR air intake and go to somebody who can unleash computer in the VF, and then do the comparison!

Hmm, brakes shouldn't be that bad, might need a little work. Steering should also have decent feedback... clearly not a restored example you're reviewing. The suspension is supposed to be that way... body roll was an indicator as to how hard you were trying but the grip was always pretty good and progressive when it let go (hence their 'hoonability') Compare that to the contemporary Holdens & Fords of the day and the E30 had positively rigid suspension. These days my E30 M3 has softer suspension than my F21 125d. Just imagine how a motoring writer from 1989 would perceive today's godawful runflats and springs made from granite.

this doesn’t damage the trans?? i have a v6 accord coupe and i do it every now and then but people are saying ima screw up my trans

Makes me happy I have my inline 5 vw rabbit its almost like the mk4s we never got over here while being its own unique thing that works and sounds really good

I wonder if a ZF8 conversion has been done, or if there's a kit available? Because if you're going do drive it in traffic a fair bit, as well as sportingly, then a ZF would make is much better box than a SMG or DCT. They have sequential style, clutchless manual, step-ronic mode (way better than any triptronic. Instant and down a gear is forward, and up u pull back, sequential style), or a silky smooth full auto mode, sport auto, or awesome paddle shifts that change as fast as any DCT, and even faster (especially the downshifts) if you get xHP on your phone to stage 2 or 3 flash the box's software. Full on supercar gear change performance. The extra gears would make an M3 like this a real weapon, cos mated to the newer N55 engine onwards, they are even faster than a manual equivalents and ZF8 boxes are super reliable in stock trim up to 600hp, and have the most insane service intervals. I couldn't stand autos until I drove a ZF8 box . I thought DSG wasn't half bad, in golfs. Then drove a stage 2 xHP flashed in a M135i, and was truly blown away. Changing gear instantly with no rev drop, just pulling and pulling. So mated to those non-turbo rev monsters that have an epic top-end, a ZF8 box in your car would be something amazing to drive. 8 gears! There's a reason every supercar from a Lambo to a Dodge Hellcat, uses a ZF8. Stick one of them in if you can. Awesome car bro.

thank you for this video. I needed to find some assurance and felt this video gave me a sense of confidence to take the test.

how loud is it compared to the oem exhaust from the outside and a fly by?

Would love to see you race a automatic on the track for comparison

Funny.😂

I am looking forward to picking up mine at the end of the year.

I'm somehow surprised, every time with the sound comparison of cars... For me, performance is far more important and interesting...

Hey bro can u please review the 450gt fuga cheers ❤

the shift knob is not original!

I'm about to retire my Yaris sedan for a civic of this generation with hatch or sedan , what I like in my country honda is not that popular so you get them very cheap at the used car market compared to Toyota and Volkswagen

that euro/jdm spec hvac controls in your car is such a flex on us usdm

😂I don't understand why it's always "surprisingly" it's a swift sport, never been a bad one.

Is this 3.6 direct or port injection? 3.2 is port injected?

Could I put these straight into a stock cl9 2003 or would I need a cold air intake etc?

_Honda Power 💪🏼 _*_AND_*_ economy! … really impressive, considering a VT Commodore 5ltr V8 auto had a claimed 0-100kph of around 7.8-7.9 seconds and triple the economy 😁_ … _-yeh I know not the same class but how times have changed-_

Considering 1 of the 2 atm , if i decide the VXRi will de-badge it but leave VXR and get the Opel badge for the grille, the badge is really cheap, i would feel better surrounded by Holden fans in traffic 😂😉

Great little cars the newest one seems to borrow the technology and concept from a Nismo note e-power. And that is a good thing.

In today’s economic climate though even as diesel is cheaper than petrol, you still have road users on top, so does it really balance out ? And is always the case with owning any high powered car where and when do you get to use this ridiculous power on a normal road? As a family car sure it’s good on paper but as a weekend play thing it’s the same as the much hated SUV. I see these as high powered fast things nothing more but as far as driver enjoyment even a 130i delivers that which can be used equally as a run about during the week or a toy on weekends

The Beemer is the better drivers car period. Ticks all the boxes for a real driver seeking fun on backroads or a track. Gtis aren’t bad overall but lack driver enjoyment and have a pathetically average sounding engine. Nothing beats a singing straight six

Awesome comparison between the two generations! I have driven both just recently and I have to completely agree! The new RS is a genuinely fun car to drive for car people despite it's main target market! Also that learner BMW driver too, just wow haha...

I have a ez30 legacy that iv made rwd. Loves to slide corners. Sadly auto but will be manual swapping soon

I wonder how it compares to the Nissan Note, they all look like nice city commuters

A Honda Fit hybrid with a 7 speed dual-clutch? That's pretty crazy. As an american watching euro car reviews always feels like these brands are cheating on me

Hi mate, nice review. Honda NZ announced Civic 11 coming soon in e:hev trim. I am hesitant about choosing Civic 11 ehev or Accord 10 hybrid (there are a few available in NZ). Any advice from you ? Cheers

Great job with your videos as always! Nissan do something similar to the newer Honda Jazz (where the petrol engine is just a generator). Would be keen to see your take on the Nismo Note S E Power if you ever got hold of one for the channel. Cheers!
