just to concur with you lot, just sold a 10-y-o 148bhp Primera GT to get my MY03 WRX which is a superior car but there's things i liked alot about the Nissan - it's a light and nimble car

not bad for a couple of grand i'd say

The state of the art timing gear is a stopwatch. Not very accurate I know. I did a 60-100mph (indicated) on a bit of private road yesterday in 11 secs flat with a passenger timing so it cant be inaccurate by more than a second or so. The official figure is 0-100 in 23.6 I think, so I might accelerate for 23.6 secs and see what my speedo reckons I'm doing.
