    I've only had my ZX for about 2 months but already I'm thinking about selling it.
    I find that I prefer driving my daily (which is currently up for sale) :eek:
    I've come to realise that I just don't like big cars.

    What do I do? Is there a way to make a zed feel smaller..? :eek:

    Could I realistically expect to get back the $8500 I paid for the car?

    I know this is a stupid thread but I'm really lost and I don't want to pour money into a car that I might never learn to love as much as my MR2 :(

    Sell them both and get a turbo manual MR2 :D

    Is the Zed in good nick? Should be able to get what you paid as long as it isn't a bucket of puss.

    The ZX is in great condition apart from a few paint chips and mismatched rims.
    A new motor was put in about 4 years ago and it has only done 30,000km since then. I have $12,000 in receipts for various work that was done.
    It is a great car and I think I got a bargain. It's just a shame that I'm not enjoying it :(

    And yes, if I keep my MR2 then I would be building a nice 3S-GTE to put in it.

    Line it up with any holden or ford and then see how big you think the zed is lol. :rofl:

    I used to drive a Commodore VN so I know what you mean :p
    The ZX is about halfway between.

    Ahh I'm so lost as to what to do :(

    Upgraded wheels, springs, shocks, adjustable suspension & a decent wheel alignment should start to make her feel a little more nimble but at the end of the day she will still weigh upwards of 1400kg even if you strip her down a bit.

    Once you sell the MR2 you won't have anything to compare the Z with and you'll get used to it.

    Don't sell the Z man!

    It's so much money that I will never get back :( I already just dropped heaps on a new alarm and yellowtop Optima for the zed.

    I wonder if that's true... Sounds like a good solution :p

    Nope :eek: 9psi.
    I was planning to boost it and do a few other things to get 250rwkw. Now I'm not sure... :(

    get a 240z, 260z or 280zx, all seem hugely smaller and you're still driving a z :) :)

    if your mr2 back to $6000 mark, let me know pretty sure i will buy it.
    then you can keep the Z :D

    A TurboTech manual boost controller is $30 and very easy to install. I use one, works great. Makes all the difference.

    I'm torn between the two! :(

    Maybe I'll put both up for sale with firm prices then let fate decide...

    I have to disagree with you there, I like his zed a lot more. :(
