Get a celica. Mines been goin strong for over 4 years now, and I'm a leadfoot. I'm teaching my girl to drive in it, and she reckons its easy to drive. Uses no fuel (compared to my GT-R), pretty quick, and toyotas have good resale if they aren't an import. :D

That or get a DC2 type R integra

apperently the celicas arent all that fun to drive in buh ive never had a shot of it myself.. the dc2 type R integra? how hard are they to find in aus and wat price range would i be in?

was thinkin of keepin my first car till my full licence comes buh think i wont have nuff money by den to by a gtr newai.. wats the resale of the integras?

Carsales and Carpoint would be the best place to find how much each car roughly costs. I don't think you'll be able to get a decent dc2r for $10k.

Don't get a 1.3ltr carby in the civic. You'll get sick of the power real quick if you're after some power. My car's got a 1.3ltr carby as well, but at least it's rear wheel drive. Could have some fun in it. Can't imagine being in a civic with shit all power fun. :D

Well both nissians and hondas are expensive to fix if they break, but they rarely break. I have owned a lancer, celica and a skyline...Lancer was a absolute piece of crap, but great on fuel. Celica was to small for me but my sister seems to like it, and then my skyline, eats away at fuel, but god i love it.

it really depends on how much your willing to spend, and wether your considering fuel costs. And of course your preference in cars.

You can get your bargins, like my skyline. I bought it for 6 grand, talked the guy down 2 grand cause he needed money asap.

carpoint is your best place to find cars.

if your going to buy a new car once your off your P's then it doesnt really matter what you drive for now.

i bought an n/a r33 to drive until i can afford a turbo car, and for what it is its quite quick

i can dish some chop to all n/a silvias and have even given unmodded turbo silvias a run for there money

and being rear wheel drive its more fun to drive than a fwd honda.

just get the car that YOU think looks the best then save your pennies for that turbo car

10k aint gonna buy you a DC2 Type R...Not even by a long shot...Forget that..MX5 is a great little beast, but check prices also..Hondas are a great little machine, I would go the civic VTiR VTEC engine myself...but with Hondas any modification you make is gonna cost big $$....That said maybe just the civic lowered with decent wheels and a sports exhaust..nothing more done would make for an awesome machine....But 10k may be stretched to do all that..Either way most of the cars people have suggested I dont believe you could go wrong...Decisions....

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
