Hey people,

Im in a little predicament here, I've got $13,000 to spend on a car, preferrably turbo :( but I'm not sure what to buy. I'd just like to see what people would do in my situation, I know the question is very broad so to narrow it down a bit I'm interested in a r33 gts-t, 94-98wrx or an s14. BUT since I'm currently on my P's r33's are out of the question but I'm pretty sure the 94-98 wrx's and s14's aren't.

It would be helpful if you could just state what car you would prefer in my case or another car besides the 3 I've listed and why.

Thanks, :(

Any car around 2000... old magna, corolla, camry... save your money, then when your off your P's go for something like a GTR, XR6 turbo, 03 WRX, s15 JDM

Thats what i would do.

But if you had to go turbo, S14 or even MR2. I would say 32 but you used to have one so i would go for something different.

i dont see why you cant get a 33... but i would choose an MR2, handles and goes alright.

id say 32 as well cause i like their looks but you used to have one so yeh...

out of your choices that you have given, id choose the wrx. dont like the s14 or the 33 much.

im pretty sure p platers cant drive urbo cars at all....but im not going to stop when i get my licence back. find another 7 -8 k and by my gtr dont worry ull never get pulled over for sure.

wrx suck dick imo wrx drivers have this wierd attitude that they own the road but i was beating them in my non turbo supra

and stay away from 33's there boats imo

if i was going to get something from your list id go an s14 quick cheap power and they drift so much better than a 32 imo

but if i was going to chose find a couple more grand and buy a non turbo supra they have as much power as all the little girls cars u mentioned and sound so much better there is also less of them so u wont feel like other tom dick and harry in a skyline

btw tekno krazy. where is the picture in your thread taken dude the one at the event is that the armin van buuren party?????

33 = boat.. such bullshit... your 32r must feel like a barge in high seas.... also bs....

turb supra's are hot... non tubr.... >> sx-r, you get the turbo interior. the 6sp gb and the torsen diff. essentailly the same drive train and brakes as the turbo only the na donk.

hell go the aero top sx-r leather int awsome roof and proper box.

supra's shit for drifting... not so good on cornering when compared to the others listed but definetly better then allot of others on hte road they can havesome awsome turn in with the right suspension mods and chasis stiffening.. less stifening if you get the aero those things are bit heavier but still good. I havent ever driven a stock supra or an NA supra so these are my impressions on a stage 1 supra really. post 97 vvt also.

s14 with a kit ftw

32's dont cost so much to get decent drift action but then again.. their 32t's which have a shit engy and braking... + suspension could do with major upgrades.

Don't buy a Toyota, they are shit.

toyota has probably got the best build quality in the world.

and lol @ all the n00bs.

if you are in VIC, im pretty sure you cant drive a Turbo or V8 at all.

buy something shit, when u get off your P's, buy something quick. thats what i did.

and yeh, if u do buy a turbo, get a stagea.

Given you cant have a turbo... Why spend the money? Spend like $5k, get something ok. The other $8k in some term deposit. Make 6-8% on that over the next 3 years plus whatever else you save. Then get something REALLY nice when your off your Ps.

I would say thats a wee bit more logical.

    • Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com  
    • Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com  
    • It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.
    • Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂
    • 1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
