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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
