Advice On A Car For Little Bro

[Adz2332]

Hey,

Well my little brother will turn 16 a bit later this year so the first car hunt begins....

I was just after some advice and what kind of cars would fit his critera... Since i have bought my Skyline and we have gone to a couple runs, one from here and another mixed jap car run, he wants a jap car.

so the critera is...

Must be Non-Turbo,

Must be a Jap Car,

Must be Kinda Sporty,

Must be Nippy not Slow as,

Must be a safe and resonably reliable car,

Must be $6000 or Under.

Any ideas?

well i picked up my mx6 turbo for 3.5k! can't really complain........ but a mate of mine is selling his starlet for around 6k if he's interested! just pm me and i'll organise something!

you can probably pick up a silvia non turbo for around 6k!

what does the starlet go lik?

[nos man]

it's a mid 90's gt turbo starlet! 1.3 litre 4 cylinder but it goes pretty hard for a 1.3 litre turbo! it's nothing really serious but it can hit 0-100kph in 7-8 secs!

yer silvas are ok but the ones in the $6000 bracket r nasty!

Pulsar... dunno much bout them.. what yr and model u refering to?

[KISIN]

s13/180sx SR20DE. Not sure if u can get them for $6000 but i wouldnt even think about CA18DE...even a twin cam rolla is faster

And if u want something different, my freind selling his AE92 Levin supercharged. He also is looking AROUND $6000. PM if interested in pics/info.

My advice for a first car is to get the latest model Corolla he can get for the money.

lol not a jap car! Haha

[RBwhatever]

there's not much he can pick up in the sporty jap car range for 6K other than the aforementioned non turbo s13. Get him a SSS pulsar its got an sr20de in it. Goes hard for what it is. N14 92-95(i think) model if he's lucky.

Honda EG Civic hatch. 1.5L , some with twin carby and some comes with EFI. Good on fuel.

Yeah gotta agree, "Rolla's are pretty much bomb proof, go well enough, and resales excellent.

If he wants something with a more sporty image, you'll be getting an older car but I would choose an N14 Pulsar Q or SSS (SR20DE) or an ealier Twin Cam Corolla.

And, a front driver can let him master clutch/shifting/heel-toe etc without him wanting to be sideways everywhere like most young guys. It may keep him alive longer.

[Bl4cK32]

yer me mates bro had an n13, but anything newer say n14 would be good.

Parts are interchangable with the early astras?

My advise is to get him a shit box for the first car we all know what we were like when we got our Ps BURNOUTS, DRIFTING AND RUNNING A MUCK. No use wreaking a good car let him learn in a 1000 doller r31 you can pic them up in good con for that. Then the future when he wants more power dump a rb20det in it
