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

yer but he wants something that he can come on a car run lik mixed jap cars and not lik get laughed at!

1989-1992 Toyota Corolla SX or SX Seca. $4-7k nice sporty hatch or liftback, ultra reliable 1.6L 4A-GE 100kw of power revs to 6500rpm. ultimate first car. Lots of tuner parts available as well.

Comes in 3 Colours: Red, White, Gun Metal Grey (very rare only 1 in 10 were GMG)

Should read : Then the future when he wants more power det it

;)

Oh yer, tell him not to get attached and have big plans for it, because we all know its better to get a better car thats got the upgrades std (like a r32gtst) than if he tried modding a r32 NA (if he bought that to start)

well if he can keep up with skylines in a shit box he wouldn't get laughed at! hahahah

what about a non turbo supra? the old school ones! something like this http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...|1&trecs=10

Edited by nos man

old model supra's non turb's are nice lookin and go pretty shit hot for a non turb.

ae86's have full street cred. but are pretty rare to pick up (so if ya can I'd go for this)

even for a first car I'd pay around 2k for an 84 rolla sedan manual, where he can go out thrash the pants of the thing and it wont die and he'll still have money for all those thing's little p platers want for attention, boomin stereo and small mods, double barrel webbers and that sort of stuff...

pulsars are pretty similar too but there front wheel...

honda CRX's aren't too bad and I think look sweet for a hatch...

guys he wants NON turbo and Rx7 is not a learners car

he WILL need to to be insurable with him driving im thinking 600-1000 /yr full comp

dont be sugesting 6cly supras and R31's its not really appropriate

4 banger twin cam the twin cause they love to rev i have a mate selling a 100KW Corrola soon for arround 4g's its very clean and just had the windows tinted the max it will go for is 5g but i think 4 sorry not sure its got standard corrola strut brace in the fron and he want to put sum 16 in rims on it before selling it

if your interested we can organise a look see

ask him what car he wants, if he doesnt know/care, get him a gemini or a 78 corolla like sinista :)

on a serious note

Must be Non-Turbo Celica

Must be a Jap Car Celica

Must be Kinda Sporty Celica 2dr coupe

Must be Nippy not Slow as Celica

Must be a safe and resonably reliable car Toyota

Must be $6000 or Under. 1990-1994 model

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
