[jdm-rhd]

what cars/trucks have you owned that you wish you had back?
what happened and why dont you have them anymore?
have you tried to find the one you owned or another like it?

The 2 that I wish I had back the most ironically were the cheapest:

'90 240SX Hatch - sold for '95 GS-R
'95 Integra GS-R - sold for '02 RSX Type-S

I've looked at DC2's here and there but I don't think I'll ever try and pick another one up. I'd like to redeem myself on the S13 by getting a S15 in a few years.

there are quite a few i wish i had back, but lost the pics on my phone.

some of you may have seen these pics a couple weeks ago when i atempted to see if i could buy back my old mklll supra...obviously there were 'a couple reasons' why i was unable to talk to them about it...

The one I just sold ?

My old R33 GTR Vspec 2 ... only because it's worth a LOT LOT more now than what I sold it for.

Otherwise I found it pretty overrated.

@West Aussie

hopefully the new z will be beyond your expectations and you dont regret trading the peugeot

looked nice....

although i prefer the r32 & r34, these have grown on me.
almost bought a jade r33 a few months ago.

None for me. All the ones I got rid of had major issues and were mostly dime and a dozen and were nothing to special.

1970 MGB. I restored this car myself, stripping everything off except the drivetrain, and then replacing everything which was rusted, broken, or missing after having it painted.

My wife and I left our wedding reception in it.

I sold it because Florida is a cauldron of hot air and radiation from the sun, and I lived in a house without a garage after the wedding (1924 Craftsman).

I drove a friend's one time when I was a kid and always wanted one. I got this one after a motorcycle accident and the restoration was my therapy.

Here it is with another car I sold, a Toyota MR2 Spyder. I sold that to get the Z32.

I added a body kit later.

wow...that looks nice.
ever think about restoring another car?

Not after that one. It was dead simple, no electronics or computers.

I was fortunate to have found a one-owner Z32, but it really wasn't meticulously maintained. I had a shop do a full mechanical restoration with seals, bushings, etc., and then I added a stereo, short shifter, front Stillen spoiler.

It's been my most favorite car I've ever owned. And, I have a garage now...!

One of the best I’ve had, way fun memories going around corners on 3’s, yet so stable. Out-corners many sports cars back then. Torquey 1.8 liter. Even fond memories adjusting valves with shims!?

1984 was the year, like this one.

Ye

@West Aussie

Yep…I hope so too
*EDIT
I’m now truly depressed, I have to change gears in the i20 to go round corners, could easily manage corners in 4th gear before, so much fun
I think the neighbours think we are broke as well…one day we have a nice car, sell it and get this instead ??

No pics that I know of, sadly. I owned them in the late 90's-early 00's and only had hard copy photos. I was looking around the house for them the other day and realized that they were probably being stored in my parents basement when it flooded over a decade ago and pretty much everything was destroyed/thrown out.
