Me too.

I thought the 2.0L were called Fairlady's vs the u1.6L was just the roadster?

 

My WW evo is owned by a 19 year old ( me ) but it still qualifies for this category because my dad is always saying " Hey Bran! I am taking your car out to shop rite real quick need to get some groceries " How many times do you have to go to shop rite in a week??!!?!? He loves driving it, I won't be surprised if he gets one when i move out! The evo has no age limit, they are fun to drive for everyone, and you won't understand until you drive it... Like the earlier guy said... I bought it after i test drove it.

 

Then, please ask your dad to post.

 

Over 40 as well bought my evo ix mr back in 2006 until it crashed replaced with an escalade hybrid and a range rover sport (both black) and waiting/looking for a clean stock ggp 2006 evo ix mr.

 

FWIW, this looks like a very nice car:

Nice, another Starion fan. I can be a member in a year or so but I just graduated to an Evo. Wife jokes that its a mid life crises but I say how can it be if its been planned for like 10 years, lol.

 

I bought my IX new when I was 39. I'm 44 now and daily drive it. It makes my commute fun.

Has 110k on the clock - Drive it 365 days a year - never gets old...

 

Well, when I sold the car I posted a video for a virtual ride in it and its still out there. So you not only get the pics but a walk thru and drive--thats all I have left these days. When the car sold, I had put on the hub caps and all the chrome trim for those with more of an eye for detail. It was the nicest Roadster I had seen in years-- laid down 100hp and 110 trq at the wheels when I was done and was running a little rich--which was very bold for these cars as they where rated at 135hp at the motor (on a good day). Car could light them up thru first and grab gears thru third-- Quite a suprise for those MGB's, Miatas. TR6's ect. Here's the link--Enjoy!

Fairlady was the actual name of the cars before they became roadsters over a 10 year time frame --so early vintage cars were considered fairladys and later models roadsters. Fairlady is still the name still used in Japan. For the American markets it was always the Datsun Roadster in both the 1600 and 2l version.

 

Hey just so you guys know...

When I was looking for Evo's I looked at this car first (as I'm in the area occasionally) and it is maintained by a nice young gentlemen, who has treated the car very well.

Anyway. The fellows name is Ryan, and anyone looking for an excellent vehicle would be wise to move this one to the top of their list.

Also... make this thread 30+. I'm well into my "get off my lawn" phase of life.
