Scooters are like fat chicks.. it's a fun ride until your mates find out

[play r 32]

HAHAHA thats classic bubba. My house mate has a scooter. thought he was so cool "look at me i drive around all week on $6 fuel!" then came winter.. LMFAO!

he had no backup ride either.

[StuiE]

lol play r 32, scooter FTL

I'd get a N13 Pulsar Vector SSS, they have a nice interior, they are reliable, and parts are cheap, a clean one looks pretty good too.

[supraaah]

my bro's selling his CA18DET 1990 silvia, it's manual, sunroof, hicas, abs, 17 inch crome rims, cat back exhaust, turbo timer........even though its turbo it's still very economical in my opinion, but then im comparng it to my supra.

It hasnt been driven in a year, only started every now and then, got de-licenced when we went overseas, and only just got it registered this week, so it went over the pits and you know it's roadworthy. mechanically it's faultless, we put in a new power steering rack and new brake rod bushes so it can go over the pits. Only problem i know of is brake pads might need changing as its not braking the best, but then again the guy at the pits passed it so it cant be that bad.

He wants round $9,000 for it, but it is negotiable. Make an offer.

One more thing, dash has just been changed as the old digital head up display one stuffed up (common problem ive been told), so now it has the analogue one, but if u find a digital one then the head up display will work also. As far as odometer, this one shows 70K, the one before was about 90K, but as u know with these cars, not even the last one could be trusted, only way you can convince yourself of the mileage is the condition of the car, and this one certainly doesn't show wear, drives very nice.

he needs to get rid of this to make room cos he's buying an r34.

my s15 used to get 600-650km from 55l

so its not a 3cyl charade but its still not bad

[PRO-L20]

Granny spec or what lol...

Get a sprinter mate. Fun in the wet too haha

[PSI_GTSII]

When it comes to daily drivers I love my late model Magnas.

Cheap as chips to buy. (2 to 3year old examples with 50K's go thru Pickles each week from between 10 - 12G)

Plenty of power / torque. (High 15's from the factory, great for winning 'form 1 lane' races!)

Great fuel economy. (Mine runs around 9L/100kms)

Reliable. (3yrs ownership 70'000kms - and except servicing Expenditure = $0)

Heres mine, altough is due for replacement (with another Magna) very soon

[play r 32]

the subaru rx looks like pretty good value for money. 2Lt cant be too bad on fuel. they dont look like a girls car and you can get the boxer exhaust note!

[bubba]

I second the Sprinter idea, or really any old RWD corolla.

yeah i used to work at coles. but since then i have stepped up a fair way in the world

[342Four]

what about a rs liberty - 2.5lt boxer engine, all it needs is a decent zorst and voila for about 10-12g's (if ur lucky to get one for a decent price) one of the best sleeper cars - almost the same as a wrx (awd and all that) but its got a 2.5 lt (non-turbo but if u can get a rs turbo its even better) engine, not a 2 lt

[ix9]

what about an excel

[342Four]

you can buy my excel for $5000

its had about $3500 repairs done to it - new head, radiator, aircon condensor etc, relativly new clutch, new front tyres, whole new front end (thanks to a prang - no chassis damage)

[GODTHRILA]

suzuki mightyboy FTW

3 cyl 800cc - great fuel economy

surprisingly has quite a bit of room behind the two seats

its a ute so you have room to stash stuff in the tray/fill up with ice and beer

I speak from experience... just add some cool stickers, a 5" monster tacho with shift light, and 2x 15" subs!!!

I did... it made the girls weak at the knees and kept me and the boys in hysterics!

Best thing is it's near impossible to get a speeding ticket as the fasted I could get the thing was 108km/h downhill with a strong breeze behind me!

[Sammie]

lol eya coles, and jason i can as a daily thing drinks to much and il most likely be stupid with it ,and a excel no way mum had one ages ago i dislike them things, and the subaru idea sounds good il look for some on the net

cheers guys

[mitchy_]

'06 turbo diesel rodeo's are good on fuel, and its still got boost!

[Al]

If laugage space is of no concern, you're under 5'7" and you can live with a 2 seater go for the Suzuki Cappacino They are GREAT on fuel, great in traffic and ALOT of fun to drive.

3cyl Turbo

This one has already been sold, but i still miss my mate having it

PS: This car just had a Suzuki Motorsport upgrade - $1200 (ECU, turbo, injectors) made 65rwkw, had an exhaust (cat back) and some shocking tyres with heaps of sidewall flex. But still managed to beat and overtake a few lightly modified skylines (exhaust, cooler, rims) at Winton Rwy All other components were std, including suspension, etc
