old-school supercharged MR2, get a rebuild if the over 100,000kms bothers you :huh:

yes, true. good little cars too. quick as well. you wont get hassled much by the poe poe either.

if you get a gtir, knowing from experience, you will drive it hard! they just beg to be thrashed! only get it if you can afford the comprehensive insurance though. could pick one up for around 14k.

also, if you get the XF you would never even consider insurance as its less than worthless :unsure:

Ahahahahah yeah only problem with the old mr2, to me they just a bit ugly lol, not that the gtir is all pretty lol. But yeah i like pedal to the metal when entering the highway and taking off traffic lights, its not speeding, its just accelerating really quickly to the speed limit. lol, Can police book you for that, always wanted to be next to a cop car and floor it to the speed limit lol, but no tire screetch.

Yes it is called "excessive acceleration".

Oops double posted, sorry.

WTF man, this country has to many laws, like seriously they taking all the fun out of having a high performance vehicle.

he's got a point, you cant have the best of both world's. it'll be one or the other. either speed or looks, prob wont get too much of both with your budget. you gotta remember that

Ok now that i think about it the only car that fits that discription is the 1990 MR2 it looks good(according to me) its got a turbo, so i can mess with it, and it might cure cancer lol.

Ohhhhhh really, do they brake easily, like the fibreglass wrx ones lol.

They arent too bad if you dont put too much through them...

Out of interest, how long have you had the r34 for insured thru justcars? And how old are you?

(I cant be stuffed reading tonite to find out if its already been said)

Ive had just car for a year and 1/2 they put the agreed value down on the car and the premium up becasuse someone on my policy had a tiny accident should have just paid for the damages and that affects me even though i wasnt driving.

Stupid insurance like seriously.

Well what I would do then, is get a list of cars you might want, with a list of expected mods on them (ie exaust, cooler, filter etc) ring up justcars and get them to quote them all up. At least that way you will have a rough idea on where you stand.

You could go on a tour of the country like old-time grifters!

"rub the car for a dollar, cures your ills!"

Exactly im 19 now, thats why im sick of the tossers, im sorry guys but it really shits me how much control insurance has over my car decision, because i could easily afford to buy a 30K car but i want something cheap till i get to rating one, so insurance doesnt cost me as much as the cars over a couple of years lol.

WTF??? paying $2500 for a N/A R34???

I pay $2000 for my first year I was only 19 at that time, I'm with JustCar too plus my is a turbo R34.

Just cars do, do rating 1 after 3 years. Even with just 3rd party. Kinda odd but hey.

But dude, if you can afford a $30k car easily, I have to say your stupid to be spending it on that. Buy a house while they are still remotely affordable! Sell it in 5 years and buy a lambo!

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
