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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
