Daily Driver

[Sammie]

hey guys soon il be doing a fair few upgrades to my car, and will mainly be using it for track, and driving it on weekends or i might be stupid with it, i was wandering what you guys would recomend as a daily car, sumthing between 5-12 grand not looking at spending much sumthing decent, gets good economy but doesnt look to shabby. here are my ideas, non turbo silvia, holden astra, for focus any thoughts would be good guys

cheers sam

Sam,

How about an R34 GTR Z-tune ?

I drive a 1991 Nissan Pulsar to work, cost stuff-all in fuel and I don't care if anyone steals it or smashes it

haha il be looking at a gtr mid to late next year hopefully,just need something small and decent to get to work/tafe

rofl, heres my daily, 95 honda civic, great on fuel, but iv gone and made it rice

[Sammie]

lol !!! i drive the model up from that but my sisters coming back and she needs it so im after a daily now i was thinking of a non turbo silvia sr20de perhaps not sure what there like on fuel tho

[sam5709]

my first car was a NA auto silvia, but i wasnt even on my L's when i got it, im pretty sure it was good on fuel

Make sure it has a fully functioning handbrake

the thing is with a car like a silvia, u say that it will be ur daily, but it wont, u'll put a exhaust on it, decent intake, then rims, then a turbo, then suspension etc etc etc etc

something like a civic, old lancer, laser, astra, excel all that sortg of stuff

stuff all on fuel, plus you dont really car if it gets dinged up a bit

plus a sr20de can be pretty thirsty depending on the way you drive

get a crappy old 3 cyl charade

[Sammie]

ahah fair enuff was only considering the silvia cause they look half decent lol wouldnt turbo one tho,hm il go grab a autotrader

that doesnt look to bad

[bubba]

My bunky is an '87 ML Barina.. probably worth about $500 and $30 worth of fuel will last me like 2 weeks of driving to work... but I find I still drive my skyline almost all of the time

[32vspecII]

r31 aus skyline

heaps of good cheap ones around if you look and potential for some upgrades if you decide you want to keep it

[Topaz]

I will probably buy a MkI or MkII Escort soon to commute. The GTR is a pain in traffic

[Sammie]

yea got the auto trader sum decent cars for the 10k mark

[stR33ter]

why not a bike

those little mopeds these days are good on fuel / rego / licence

aslong as your not comuting to far i guess

or a bigger bike.

thats what i'm doing as soon as my car goes to the shop

Me 2, well i think thats what it is. I would be grumpy if someone stole "Nana"... The 14 yr old in my house hates it. "Can i have a lift".."sure i'll get the keys to Nana"..."dont worry" ha ha ha

[Sammie]
