Out of these cars what do u think i should get as my first

[holdens_r_better]

I have decided on these 4 cars to get for my first car.

Nissan silvia Sr20 or Ca18 turbo

Nissan Pulsar SSS n14

Mitsubishi lancer

Toyota Celica 88-89+

Please note i have around an 8000 budget. Please give me your thoughts and any experiences you have had with any of these cars thanks

make sure u have at least 1grand spare for rego, transfer ect

also no chance for u to get insurance with a silvia turbo, i'v been there and tried everything.

u thought about a prelude, civic, integra at all?

[Lepperfish]

N14 would be sweet.... Or yeah an Integra....

[awill]

I reackon a turbo car isnt a great idea for a 1st car im glad i didnt get 1 now.

Pulsar is nice but why not an sr20de silvia my CA manages alright for a 1.8. Do the exhaust intake maybe a cam and they arent slow for an N/A car great first car if you can afford insurance.

Fun in the wet to if you can avoid the kerbs.

They will also kill ne lancers or celica's around an my car keeps up with 6 cyl falcons an commo's and mine's stock.

[Lepperfish]

As long as your beating 6 cylinder comos and falcons... LOL

[legend]

go the N14.... had one before and they are sweet, make sure you lower it though, or else you'd be 4 wheel driftin' around corners at high speeds

[Greg]

thought about a toyota cressida? they're nice cars but hard to find in manual

[TTT]

I'd recommend a N/A front wheel drive car..

out of the lancer, celica and N14 SSS, I would take the SSS.

Apart fomr insurance on the turbo models, the fact that you don't have that much driving experience means that RWD cars are still dangerous when driven hard for you and anyone near you..

SSS is a good car. in the future you can get rid of it and get something else, or do the SR20DET engine conversion to it

[holdens_r_better]

NuGGeT - I thought bout em but nah i dont really like the look of em

awill - "but why not an sr20de silvia". I have that one at the top as one of my choices

[Smiley]

He means a N/A one as opposed to a Turbo since the insurance will be heaps more on a Turbo (if you can get it at all).

Turbo= sr20det

N/A= sr20de (thing to note is the lack of the "t")

I think the N/A Silvia or an old school Celica

[holdens_r_better]

oh yeah thats what i ment sr20 na

[Merli]

a cheap, safe car that you're not going to cry over if you write it off.

Out of those choices, give that they're all the same price, I'd choose the N14 SSS.

bump bump bump

[NuGGeT]

dude if ya can get insurance for ya n/a silvia, get it ay! there great cars

[awill]

The silvia is quicker than the celica the ca18de also has more power than the pulsar sr20de to and i reckon looks better as well Mods on a silvia are so cheap to. If you are mechanically gifted there are very cheap ca18 silvia's coming into the country atm bcoz of the 15yr rule rebuilding 1 of these and raising the compresion a ca16de exhaust cam and everything else would make it go hard, as well as computer remap.

Just check insurance out coz u will have probs c if u can insure it under ur old man, go and get quotes for a few of the cars ur looking at or even better get ur dad to do it bcoz they will say no to u if its an import trust me.

[Nismodified]

if u have 8000, why dont u look into the 15year old cars, 88' model at the moment can be brought in.

you can pick up things like VR4's, Celica GT4s, R32 GTST (4wd and 4dr) to name a few within that sort of budget.

[akeenan]

for your first car dont get a turbo,,,....

just get something cheap, something rear wheel drive...something to muck around in... eg ......vl argh argh.... whatever... , then once you are a good enough driver eg asa you get off your ps replace the vl with a gtst + mods plus full comp.

[Pva_Glue]

Stick with your HOLDEN COMMOMWHORE

[Nismodified]

or you can simply pocket the 8000 grand (or smartly invest it), pimp in dunnydore for a while longer and get a decent car in a year or two, basically what Pva sed.

i just bought a MA70 1986 supra and im having heaps of fun with that. has a bit of power, has HEAPS of extra (like electric drivers seat- kinda give yourself a back massage in the traffic) and looks good aswell
