old-school supercharged MR2, get a rebuild if the over 100,000kms bothers you :huh:

yes, true. good little cars too. quick as well. you wont get hassled much by the poe poe either.

if you get a gtir, knowing from experience, you will drive it hard! they just beg to be thrashed! only get it if you can afford the comprehensive insurance though. could pick one up for around 14k.

also, if you get the XF you would never even consider insurance as its less than worthless :unsure:

Ahahahahah yeah only problem with the old mr2, to me they just a bit ugly lol, not that the gtir is all pretty lol. But yeah i like pedal to the metal when entering the highway and taking off traffic lights, its not speeding, its just accelerating really quickly to the speed limit. lol, Can police book you for that, always wanted to be next to a cop car and floor it to the speed limit lol, but no tire screetch.

Yes it is called "excessive acceleration".

Oops double posted, sorry.

WTF man, this country has to many laws, like seriously they taking all the fun out of having a high performance vehicle.

he's got a point, you cant have the best of both world's. it'll be one or the other. either speed or looks, prob wont get too much of both with your budget. you gotta remember that

Ok now that i think about it the only car that fits that discription is the 1990 MR2 it looks good(according to me) its got a turbo, so i can mess with it, and it might cure cancer lol.

Ohhhhhh really, do they brake easily, like the fibreglass wrx ones lol.

They arent too bad if you dont put too much through them...

Out of interest, how long have you had the r34 for insured thru justcars? And how old are you?

(I cant be stuffed reading tonite to find out if its already been said)

Ive had just car for a year and 1/2 they put the agreed value down on the car and the premium up becasuse someone on my policy had a tiny accident should have just paid for the damages and that affects me even though i wasnt driving.

Stupid insurance like seriously.

Well what I would do then, is get a list of cars you might want, with a list of expected mods on them (ie exaust, cooler, filter etc) ring up justcars and get them to quote them all up. At least that way you will have a rough idea on where you stand.

You could go on a tour of the country like old-time grifters!

"rub the car for a dollar, cures your ills!"

Exactly im 19 now, thats why im sick of the tossers, im sorry guys but it really shits me how much control insurance has over my car decision, because i could easily afford to buy a 30K car but i want something cheap till i get to rating one, so insurance doesnt cost me as much as the cars over a couple of years lol.

WTF??? paying $2500 for a N/A R34???

I pay $2000 for my first year I was only 19 at that time, I'm with JustCar too plus my is a turbo R34.

Just cars do, do rating 1 after 3 years. Even with just 3rd party. Kinda odd but hey.

But dude, if you can afford a $30k car easily, I have to say your stupid to be spending it on that. Buy a house while they are still remotely affordable! Sell it in 5 years and buy a lambo!

    • 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
