Laurel Or Cefiro?

[Moose Drift]

hey all,

since i cant import an 432 GTS25 i have turned to other options.

im tossing up between a cefiro or a laurel.

i know there are plenty of parts for the cefiro being an s13 chassis, but are there many parts, mostly suspension wise for the laurel?

it is going to be a non turbo because at the moment insurance is a killer.

i was kind of leaning towards the laurel because they are not as common but that depends on what sort of mods are available?

what would you do and why?

thanks

tom

theres a dude on here atm selling a N/A Laurel

goes by the user name of lee_roy_pat or something like that

I'll have a Turbo Laurel up fs soon..

Laurels are more uncommon cause they can't be imported anymore.

Modifying is piss... Check the interchangable parts thread in the sticky section.

Laurels and Ceffy's are essentialy the same car with a different body

If I were you I would buy my Laurel

[Moose Drift]

oh, i thought you coud import 89 model ones?

bummer if so.

im looking to do it privately so it will cost me like half the price as going through a dealer. so yea.

and it would have to be a n/a thats pretty cheap

[D-limo]

nup... Anything up to december 88..

Non turbo is a good idea.. Should be signifficanty cheaper due to damand. There was a good condition one that went for 3 or 3.5k on secretdrift a couple of weeks ago

[Moose Drift]

ahh ok.

wow, that exactly the sort of price i was looking at. as the gts25 4 door manual non-turbo's were looking at around the same price landed.

just to clarify.. i know laurel's have no B pillar, does this have any particular disadvantage as compared to the cefiro?

[D-limo]

Slightly worse chassis rigidity.. And the window seal where the pillar should be seems to be prone to wearing out

Also in all the velour laurel interiors I have seen.. The Velour is starting to lift in either the door trims or dash.. or both..

Small price to pay for class tho B)

[dangerous_daveo]

Its not class if it looks like arse!

Get the cef. Bit lighter too, so if your going the baby engine that will be handy

[D-limo]

Velour still looks sexy even when its lifting... Looks shithouse when faded badly.. Mine has factory tint tho ^_^

Bah.. Daveo you can go drive your commoners car...

Drifting Limousines is the shizzy mcnizzy

[dangerous_daveo]

All I can say is, I see more laurels than I do cefiros...
