Bandit You'll see quite a few of us off the lexus forums mate,
Not sure what to suggest car wise? the evo's are a nice motor but not cheap to keep at there best? (3000-4500 miles a service depending on model) suffer melted pistons/rings, eat diffs, plus a few other faults that are pretty common? But can be a great machine if you can find a good one?
I've got the Skyline R33 GTS-T 2.5 turbo, been great since i brought it, takes kids in the back seat very well and does go pretty well :w00t: parts can be quite cheap for them too if you shop around? Standard the fuelling not too bad but when you start to play with them it does go down quite a bit!
Or another option might be a Subaru legacy B4, cracking motor and they shift, plenty of room in the back and pretty reliable if been looked after :thumbup1:

The skylines do seem to be a wanted motor at the moment, i've had quite a few offers for mine now on the swapz website, but might stick it on pistonheads soon to see if i get any takers? there a good motor and do give you a big smile
Some nice motors about at the moment, just finding what you want is the hard part
Why not go for an Altezza then and try and get some half leather for it off ebay.

James S That thought has crossed my mind too, my IS is the S base model. Bought bought the half leather n fitted it myself. Still got the old interior. Could quite easily swap it back before sale. hmm.... good thinking that man! :thumbup1:
