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?

what does the starlet go lik?

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!

Damn sorry its got to be NON turbo

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 :P

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.

got to be non turbo and not super charged

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.

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

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. :P

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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
