Everyday Ride

[Flash89]

hey there peeps, i am thinking of getting a cheapy bomb car so i can leave my skyline at home and keep its ks down. also car will be going in for paint so i will need a car for a while. when i come to think of it i reckon it will be better for me to drive my shitter around as everyday use and drive the skyline for show and going out. for one driving the skyline everyday after it has been painted its in a more high risk of vandallism (i live in gosnells). also i will like to keep my car sercret to friends as in what it has got done to it or what i am going to do it. also i reckon it will be good because if i was doing mods to it i will atleast have another car for work. now for the important thing is that fuel prices are just rising and i am spending around 80 to 160 a week on fuel and only getting around about 450 to 480ks.

i would like a reconmondation on what car is good for everyday use at a low price and that wont break down on me all the time, was thinking of a carolla, just wanting to ask yous what yous drive (thats if you have a second car)

Thanks heaps

i used to have a 1986 ford tx5 turbo as a second car.

was cheapish to run (600km to 60L), and only cost me $1800.

however that was sold last weekend, and ive got a brand spankin new holden rodeo 4x2 ute now (ie, got it friday)

3.0L turbo diesal, power windows, cd player, air con, and 4 cup holders.

this thing is pimpin'.

best of all, company car, company fuel card == happy mitchy.

Dont whinge about only getting 450 to 480kms lol I get 400ish!!

but my car is running rich on purpose LOL

lancers/barina's etc etc, small cars will be your best friend in this situation..

I used to use my old corolla KE70.... Nice gutsy little 1.3L 4 Cylinder.. Rear wheel drive 5speed.. Used to put about $35 a week of fuel into it (thats when fuel was like $1.10).

Old car but damn it was reliable. Drove it across the nullabor even and it didn't break down..

[Munkyb0y]

you cant beat a corolla for a cheap reliable car.

those things run forever. even if you tried to kill it, you couldnt.

I bought a corolla once as a daily to do up my old UC Torana 2dr. Was driving to work and the crankshaft snapped. So yeah, you can beat a corolla

I was thinking a 180SX as a daily. They aren't that dear nowadays. 150rwhp wouldn't be so bad.

but how long will the 180sx remain a daily, before the mods start? hmmmm. too tempting.

[Shayde]

I'd buy it modded. The idea is to mod the R33 and daily the 180SX. I can't justify spending more money on a 4!

Bike/Public Transport/Bumming Rides FTW!

I used to drice a KB laser, snapped two engine mounts drive so i just welded them to the block. Good fun. I would get another if i had to get an everyday driver.

Cheers,

where would i find a corolla, RWD, i always see FWD ones, my budget is like around under 1 to 2k

[alpinestars]

wooo i should be gettin a bunky soon want a ae92 4age rolla so i can rice it up

[mitchy_]

2x white, 2 door, turbo-charged, 6 cylinder vehicles.

thats where the similarites stop however...

flash89 - you will need to get a pre AE86 'rolla if you want rwd.

but even still, a fwd one will be fine. my first car was a 1989 ford laser, 1.6L fwd, ran on the smell of an oily rag.

[Flash89]

i have now seen 2 exels turbo. my bunky could be using the old parts of my skyline, such as the turbo. hehehe. can also be my sleeper if yous know what i mean

Ive though about getting a second car for myself, something around $1500, but I have 5 cars at my house as it is ....wait, thats not cool

If I got a second car it would have to be a MkI Escort
