Get a celica. Mines been goin strong for over 4 years now, and I'm a leadfoot. I'm teaching my girl to drive in it, and she reckons its easy to drive. Uses no fuel (compared to my GT-R), pretty quick, and toyotas have good resale if they aren't an import. :D

That or get a DC2 type R integra

apperently the celicas arent all that fun to drive in buh ive never had a shot of it myself.. the dc2 type R integra? how hard are they to find in aus and wat price range would i be in?

was thinkin of keepin my first car till my full licence comes buh think i wont have nuff money by den to by a gtr newai.. wats the resale of the integras?

Carsales and Carpoint would be the best place to find how much each car roughly costs. I don't think you'll be able to get a decent dc2r for $10k.

Don't get a 1.3ltr carby in the civic. You'll get sick of the power real quick if you're after some power. My car's got a 1.3ltr carby as well, but at least it's rear wheel drive. Could have some fun in it. Can't imagine being in a civic with shit all power fun. :D

Well both nissians and hondas are expensive to fix if they break, but they rarely break. I have owned a lancer, celica and a skyline...Lancer was a absolute piece of crap, but great on fuel. Celica was to small for me but my sister seems to like it, and then my skyline, eats away at fuel, but god i love it.

it really depends on how much your willing to spend, and wether your considering fuel costs. And of course your preference in cars.

You can get your bargins, like my skyline. I bought it for 6 grand, talked the guy down 2 grand cause he needed money asap.

carpoint is your best place to find cars.

if your going to buy a new car once your off your P's then it doesnt really matter what you drive for now.

i bought an n/a r33 to drive until i can afford a turbo car, and for what it is its quite quick

i can dish some chop to all n/a silvias and have even given unmodded turbo silvias a run for there money

and being rear wheel drive its more fun to drive than a fwd honda.

just get the car that YOU think looks the best then save your pennies for that turbo car

10k aint gonna buy you a DC2 Type R...Not even by a long shot...Forget that..MX5 is a great little beast, but check prices also..Hondas are a great little machine, I would go the civic VTiR VTEC engine myself...but with Hondas any modification you make is gonna cost big $$....That said maybe just the civic lowered with decent wheels and a sports exhaust..nothing more done would make for an awesome machine....But 10k may be stretched to do all that..Either way most of the cars people have suggested I dont believe you could go wrong...Decisions....

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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.
