What non-performance car did you drive before?

[s13_Veilside]

honda prelude 85, and then silvia s13 ca18de, and now sr20de!!!!

[OSH13T]

telstar 83' and 91 honda civic..!!

[rs73]

91 suzuki katana (think of a 1000cc sh1tty 2WD in a tincan jimny body) - a wannabe "compact 4WD" with only rear wheel drives that doesn't even go. Body rattled like hell too. Your nana on a bike would overtake this.

95 toyota kijang (my country's favourite 1300cc people mover) - doesn't go either and rattly.

93 Lancer CE Coupe bought accident damage from a friend leaving the country. Got dents & bents in every single panel no kidding.

86 Cressida with a dying starter motor, transition car b4 finding the next Galant.

94 Galant SE Hatch, not bad, much better performer than Lancer but still not fast enough. Engine sh1ts itself after only 100,000km

Which seems to me I now realise never moved up from the cars made in 91-94 era... my current R33 is a 93 model....

I had a 998cc 77 Mini S, now I have a 1275 GT clubman mini, 82 Gemini Panelvan and a 94 R33, bought in that order!

'73 VW 1.5l Beetle - Body rusted so had to get rid of it. It was a pretty cool car - heaps of character. 105km/h was the highest speed I could coax it to.

'83 KA 1.5l Laser - Had a manual choke. On a cold day if you timed accelerating and the choke properly, it felt like a turbo . The exhaust fell off once and all the sudden it felt like it was given wings. My bro wrote that one off.

'86 N12 1.6l Pulsar - Involved in heaps of accidents. I thought it was ballsy compared to my sisters 1.5 version. Got some good 4 wheel sliding around the race course at Bathurst

Then I test drove an r33 skyline. As soon as the turbo kicked in, I knew I had to have one.

I've also driven V6 Magna (my old folks), several commies (including a supercharged calais), a datto (my bro's - had the shittiest brakes on the planet), an astra (even more ball-less than the VW), a shitty 80's magna, a forester, a celica, and a WRX (gimme a skyline any day of the week over a WRX ).

white ae85... 4age baby!

[RBN1]

A silver Datsun Sunny

Still have it and drive it to this day.......love that car.

Anyone here think I should do a CA18DET conversion on the old girl?

[inark]

i drove a 1.6litre FWD 99 Daewoo Nubira

was a huge leap for me... ive still got it but its had a hard life.

[V-meister]

92 Pulsar Q, 1.6 litre, what a beast

[CanberraR33]

1991 N13 Pulsar "Sports"

2001 TS Holden Astra, 17s and King Springs. Handled well!

[Revhead]

1980 VC Commodore. Bought it with a very rooted 173 in it, ended up with a blue 202, lumpy as Crow Cam, 450 mechsec 4-barrel holley, extractors etc. It got 20l/100km, was lumpy as anything (couldn't get it to idle below about 1000rpm, cam started to come in around 3000, redline at 5500) and the cops loved it, and if I caned the crap out of it, it would *just* keep up with a stock VLT

Next car was the '33 in 2000, then I bought the bike in May last year. Turbos are good, but just the thought of bolting one onto the bike scares me

Funnily enough, i still drive most of the first non performance car I owned, which was an R31. Now pretty much everything from that car besides the chassis is in another much more modified R31 which I drive now, including the boot and windows.

First vehicle was a 20,000rpm roadbike.

[silver gts-t]

my 1st was a $150 fully sick 1.3l carby holden barina (swift) 90 model complete with hail damage!

the hectik thing was that i wacked on a veilside style kit on it patched the lil bitch up

decked it out with a douf douf system ,some 16's cut the springs and put a 2.5'' exhaust on it n the final touch was a recaro seat phone holder,

on the 1/4 it would have done 30secs et but it would always provide 6 secs of madness.

sold the car for $2000 to a dealer

would have broken even after the years,

they were the good times

*memories song in backround*

beat that!!!!

[Nizmo]

Learnt to drive in a VT Holden Clubsport, First car 300ZX-Turbo second car my now R33 GTST um so never had the experience - ive worked in Mitsubishi & Toyota Dealerships so just driven there non performance cars but thats it.

Sorry

[Airzone]

Nizmo - you don't know what you're missing. Just think - if you get a VW like my old one, you don't have to worry about speeding fines on the open road
