I agree with nsm034,

My first car was a 1986 KC Laser Ghia. Went pretty hard for a 1.6L manual, started first time every time. Did wiked handbrake turns :rofl: And it was also faster than my mates 1998 Lancer! I had that car for 2 years so that I could save up enough money without taking out a huge loan to import my own car. Save money and don't be in debt.

R32 GTR ... had been driving for a couple of years before hand though... thought to myself why waste money on a sh!tter when it can go towards my dream car... three years of savings later, and i had it :rofl: Been driving it for almost 2 years now without a problem (besides the mandatory "im an rb26 and am going to rape your wallet, bank account and silver coin shrapnal bucket/container" problems).

1988 Series 1 VN Commodore Executive. V6, 5 Speed. Base Model, weighed nothing.

Was a bloody weapon.

I did Extractors, Custom Cold Air, Splitfire Plugs (!!!) LSD, Clutch and Suspension, Tyres etc.

It's the car I learnt to drift in. It was crazy fun in the wet and sometimes dry.

Learnt a lot of things about car control in that thing.

Great fun.

the gti was awesome . handled the best of any car i've ever owned including the skyline. don't knock them till you drive one , you'll be suprise what they can do

I always thought the "suspension tuned by Lotus" was a bit of wank factor and nothing more... until a friend took me for a ride in his (and let me drive it). These cars are damn impressive, and be up there with one of the best handling cars I have ever been in... and it came from the factory like that!

Said friend is now putting a 4G63 in it, should be a weapon :)

1984 Cordia GSR Turbo

1983 Nissan Exa Turbo

1985 Telstar TX5 Turbo

1987 Laser TX3 4wd Turbo (Ex rally car)

1987 Corolla twincam 88kw 4age

1990 MX6 Turbo

1992 Liberty RS Turbo

1986 Corolla SECA Twincam (run about to keep km's down on RS)

1992 R32 GTST

1990 Gallant VR4

1994 S14 200sx series 1

1996 Barina City - Auto 1.4L

This is from 1995 to 2005

The downgrade from R32 to VR4 was due to purchasing unit.

The downgrade from S14 to barina was due to Thieving Kunts and no comp insurance.

saving for wedding now so barina stays for another 6 months or so.

out of all those cars for a first car I'd say the corolla.

My first car was a 1990 Ford KF Laser TX3, jet black resprayed from white....

I loved that thing, that is, before I bought the GTR :cheers:

before the Laser myself and my dad shared a 1979 MKII Escort 2.0L Carby, that was a very cool car....later on when I have a spare couple-a-thou I wanna buy and do up an old 1976 MKI Escort, the best shape I rekon :)
