Hey guys.

Now as much as i love driving my 33, i've come to realise i drive it too much and want to look after it as much as i can.

And so i have decided on buying myself a 2nd car. I'm obviously looking for something reliable and cheap to run. I dont care about looks etc...

I know it depends on the previous owners and how well it has been looked after but im just after a general idea.

I have heard that the old Corrolla is a reliable car as with the Ford Lasers and TX5's.

If any have you have a cheap old shitty run a round let me know of your experiences.

So any suggestions will be appreciated. Will hopefully be getting something before the weekend....

Cheers

get an excell sprint... its cheap.. runs on an oily rag.. and when theres a problem with it over 1000 bucks throw it away

even though its an hyundai.. it is a good run around car if you throw oil at it and dont race it.

3000-5000 clams will get you one with under 100,000kms on it.. who cares what it looks like.. just dont rice it up

Get a small motorcycle, if you just want it as a daily driver/rider it's damn cheap. And when it rains just take the car to work.

I personally do the opposite.

Have a car for daily duties and a bike for fun.

But they are damn cheap to register, and run, well little bikes are. My 750 is quite expensive when it comes to tyres etc.

AE92 Corolla twin cam, with the 4age motor

even an AE82 twin cam corolla

will last forever.

Deffinately :wub: !!!, I have heard from countless people about the bullet proof reliability of these things, some are a little expensive for their age on carsales, but look after them and they will go forever!!

To me for around the $3 - $5k mark you cannot go past this car!

silhouette models are LSD (most worn out) and trip computers etc

BEST seating position out of many cars that i have sat in, also quite good if you;re a tall or big bloke

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
