For everyone thats saying I cant have a turbo, I can cause I've already got my P's and the new law hasn't come out yet. So I'm still under the power to weight ratio law, and the new law only affects people that are getting their P's after July 1st.

But thanks again for your thoughts, however I don't really want to save anything. :laughing-smiley-014:

I want to spend it ALL! and get something decent.

Well, for a start, don't spend it all.

No matter what car you buy, you'll need to spend money on it. Also, go full comp insurance.

A quick look through the j-spec and they have some FC RX-7's, R32's and a soarer that look to suit, but I don't know the power to weight law if these are eligible.

If you're after a fun car, go the R32, but you have already killed one, so that may not be the best of ideas.

Personally, I like the FC's for the price. Definitely different, but has potential. May even get lucky and find a convertible one.

The soarer is a great sleeper. With conservative paint and rims, can pass as a toorak kiddie mover, but with some tarting up they can look damn good.

Like I said, I do not know which are eligible, but check out the import websites and compare to local cars.

An MR2 is a hard car to get use to, mid engine cars are VERY different to FR cars...

Honestly I think your best bet would have been with a Gts-t R32, then I would start looking at a silvia prolly S13 with an SR20DET in it. I was looking into an FC for a while but they are just to fragile and people want way to much for them

Get a Gts-t man they are the best bang for your buck if you can find the right one

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

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

1. you have no taste

2. your kidding yourself if you think a na supra is as quick as you seem to think they are

Don't buy a Toyota, they are shit.

Wow, what an inspirational contribution. You are clearly all knowing when it comes to cars... I mean what would the worlds biggest car manufacturer know about building cars?... you should start up a car company of your own - with your knowledge the possibilities are endless!

noobs says the 12year old... choice...

your volvo Vs an rb20 32... my money on the 32 for anything over 20m and 40kph. rs4 if you own one different story but unlike 13k eh.

lol

i had an r32 gtst. loved it to bits. and yes, the 32 would beat it, the r32 was about 1200kgs, the stag is probably 1700-1800.

and 12 year old? lol

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
