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....

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
