GIVE ME YOUR HONEST OPINION

Ok i would like to hear everyones suggestions, this is what im looking for:

The car can be any make, honda, nissan etc etc.

Car cannot be more then $15,000 (the cheaper the better, because of stupid insurance).

Car needs to doo 0-100 under 7.0 secs

Car doesnt need to be turbo, but would prefer turbo.

Car cannot have more then 100,000km.

CAR MUST BE MANUAL.

OK GUYS SHOOT, try not to right much everyone cause i dont want to have to search to much through this post lol.

Eg. THis is good:

Car: Nissan Skyline R32 GTST

and tell me why you recommend that car in no more then around 50 words.

I know this seems like a bit of a game, and some people might be annoyed by this post, so you ppl dont have to post lol, only happy comments lol.

Thx Everyone in advance.

Mate if you can't afford comperhensive insurance then please do think it though first before buying a car because you are putting yourself and others at risk.

Nah its not so much that i cant afford it as i just dont feel like paying $2500 for a N/A r34. It just seems like a waste of money no matter how much i love the car, thats why i want something cheap, because 3 party covers the other car and just car covers $5,000 to your own car, second of all im a pretty safe driver i just like the whole turbo thing with the blow off valve, thats right im a wog lol. I know this reply is late as but im on holidays from uni so dont judge me lol.

Just read the fine print on the old justcars thing with the $5k hey. Once you pay your premium, and the excess then you get your $5k. But justcars keep your car if its recovered, and the rego on it. Sure you might have first option to buy it back, but my guess thats going to cost more than what justcars give you. Its not a good deal.

With the safe driver thing. About 80% of drivers reckon they are an above average driver, do the maths on that. I've never seen you drive so I cant comment either way. Just putting it out there most drivers think they are a whole lot better than they really are. That said a defencive driving course does nothing to reduce your justcars premium.

So I think maybe spend $10k (which will still get you something quite nice) and keep the rest for proper insurance. Maybe look at a s13 or something?

Pm Coming up some time soon

GTiR FTW!!!

Quick from stock, AWD, and looks better than a riceline :P (sorry guys, had to do it) SR20 easy to get good power figures out of, and parts are available for them.

OR

SW20 MR2. bout 12k for a decent one, with money left over for insurance (dont ever go without insurance) Turbo 2L, Mid Mounted, look damn sexy

either of those are good IMO

or if you got no cash you could always get an....................XF Falcon :D

A 32 GTS-T can be had for $6k - $8k these days, I know of a AWD 32 GTS-T going for $10k. Still leaves some cash for insurance.

After seeing a friend running around without insurance and then having someone t-bone him in a shopping centre and the dramas he has had trying to get them to pay and get his car back it isn't worth not having full comprehensive insurance.

If you want some go without the high premium then consider an aussie sold car. Imports attract a high premium price with most insurers.

For cheap thrills get a Gemini and whack a 2.6L engine out of a rodeo in it and turbo it..... wouldn't even be worth insuring either.

Oh im not saying im a good driver or anything, i just follow the road rules, thats all i meant i know everyone thinks they are great drivers lol. Yeah thats why i want something cheeper because then comrehensive might be cheeper and i might get that.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
