lol, so hed be right at home then! Kilt plus MX-5 - perfect combo. Al you need now is to add some glenlivets...but id recommend a good haggis before he does that.

Not sure if teh Mx-5 has enuf bootspace for teh bagpipes tho...

ROFL I'm gonna send him that! He only wears his kilt on Sunday so I guess I don't wanna be passenger when that wind's blowing around in that little thing. He's got a more portable bagpipe, it's ok.

portable bagpipes..?

I got a portable bag pipe, lol.

Youre not talkin bout teh one under his kilt i hope. :thumbsup:

Now, here i was talking about talking ur mate out of an Mx-5 and here you are wanting to play teh bagpipes! Say it aint so Dan!

:D My dirty secret! I just want to play!!!!!!! Nooooo. What will my mother say!

Starlet GT.

Can pick them up for an absolute steal (anywhere from 5k - 10k depending on condition), 1.3L could basically run on petrol fumes, snappy handling, nimble and light (850kg or thereabouts), enough room for 5 if needed (bit squishy in the back obviously), and the practicality of a hatch (can fit shiteloads in the back with the rear seats down).

And the parts are quite cheap to top it off.

Look for one in good condition with reasonable Kms and exhaust/suspension/wheels/tyres. Basically a fairly close to stock one with just a few improvements to make it a bit of a beast in the twisties.

Take a look on http://www.austarletclub.com/forums/.

Theyre very friendly over there :D

LOL It was intended for automotive discussion and mainly is. It's served it's purpose though and given me some info for my mate who appreciates it. I also got a laugh so that's a bonus!

Hi guys, I'm just after some suggestions for a mate who's after something cheaper than his big heavy falcon as he wants to tie up some debts and wants a cheaper run around. He does enjoy driving and wants something that will be fun through some hills ect so if anyones so some recommendations it would be much appreciated.

So far he's been looking into Pulsar SSS's and Starlet GT's. He's got around 10k to play with give or take and it will be a daily driver so nothing too old as he does want it to be reliable.

Cheers.

Honda CRX - 2nd Generation.

Extremely zippy, use bugger all fuel, cheap insurance, and fantastic handlers! I won't even mention how easy they are to park and get around in. They even have HUGE carrying capacity.

Forget the age of the vehicle - it's the CONDITION that important. Most R32's are a couple of decades old now, yet that doesn't automatically mean they're all hunks of junk. Quite the opposite can be true if the car has been looked after.

I bought a second generation CRX as an 'in-betweener' to getting my current R32 GTR and I still LOVE jumping back into it regularly and taking it for a spin!!!

Looks like everyone backs the mx5.. But it is a very suss car, if you tint the windows enough u'll be right.. at least your not driving a vw beatle..

Try a mini never driven one, but chicks seem to dig it.. you mate have issues getting chicks?

FWD?

Hairdresser?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
