Hey people,

Im in a little predicament here, I've got $13,000 to spend on a car, preferrably turbo :( but I'm not sure what to buy. I'd just like to see what people would do in my situation, I know the question is very broad so to narrow it down a bit I'm interested in a r33 gts-t, 94-98wrx or an s14. BUT since I'm currently on my P's r33's are out of the question but I'm pretty sure the 94-98 wrx's and s14's aren't.

It would be helpful if you could just state what car you would prefer in my case or another car besides the 3 I've listed and why.

Thanks, :(

Any car around 2000... old magna, corolla, camry... save your money, then when your off your P's go for something like a GTR, XR6 turbo, 03 WRX, s15 JDM

Thats what i would do.

But if you had to go turbo, S14 or even MR2. I would say 32 but you used to have one so i would go for something different.

i dont see why you cant get a 33... but i would choose an MR2, handles and goes alright.

id say 32 as well cause i like their looks but you used to have one so yeh...

out of your choices that you have given, id choose the wrx. dont like the s14 or the 33 much.

im pretty sure p platers cant drive urbo cars at all....but im not going to stop when i get my licence back. find another 7 -8 k and by my gtr dont worry ull never get pulled over for sure.

wrx suck dick imo wrx drivers have this wierd attitude that they own the road but i was beating them in my non turbo supra

and stay away from 33's there boats imo

if i was going to get something from your list id go an s14 quick cheap power and they drift so much better than a 32 imo

but if i was going to chose find a couple more grand and buy a non turbo supra they have as much power as all the little girls cars u mentioned and sound so much better there is also less of them so u wont feel like other tom dick and harry in a skyline

btw tekno krazy. where is the picture in your thread taken dude the one at the event is that the armin van buuren party?????

33 = boat.. such bullshit... your 32r must feel like a barge in high seas.... also bs....

turb supra's are hot... non tubr.... >> sx-r, you get the turbo interior. the 6sp gb and the torsen diff. essentailly the same drive train and brakes as the turbo only the na donk.

hell go the aero top sx-r leather int awsome roof and proper box.

supra's shit for drifting... not so good on cornering when compared to the others listed but definetly better then allot of others on hte road they can havesome awsome turn in with the right suspension mods and chasis stiffening.. less stifening if you get the aero those things are bit heavier but still good. I havent ever driven a stock supra or an NA supra so these are my impressions on a stage 1 supra really. post 97 vvt also.

s14 with a kit ftw

32's dont cost so much to get decent drift action but then again.. their 32t's which have a shit engy and braking... + suspension could do with major upgrades.

Don't buy a Toyota, they are shit.

toyota has probably got the best build quality in the world.

and lol @ all the n00bs.

if you are in VIC, im pretty sure you cant drive a Turbo or V8 at all.

buy something shit, when u get off your P's, buy something quick. thats what i did.

and yeh, if u do buy a turbo, get a stagea.

Given you cant have a turbo... Why spend the money? Spend like $5k, get something ok. The other $8k in some term deposit. Make 6-8% on that over the next 3 years plus whatever else you save. Then get something REALLY nice when your off your Ps.

I would say thats a wee bit more logical.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
