legend Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 hmmm.... never really thought about euro cars, not much into the wagon scene though, my wife actually doesn't like them, even the sportswagons. I guess she has a wagon phobia. Not that I'm complaining Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24592-what-do-you-get-after-owning-a-skyline/page/2/#findComment-524312 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimX Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Originally posted by CerealKiller Audi RS4 - hands down the best station wagon ever made! For those that don't know it's an 6 cylinder DOHC twin turbo intercooled monster (sound familiar?) power wise it's 280kW@6100rpm and 440Nm@2500rpm 0-100 in 4.9. not bad for a "family" car edit: forgot it's 6speed manual and AWD there's an RS6 which is basically the same, just not a station wagon. Wtf? Did you miss the bit where he said "$25k"?

legend Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 what do you guys think of the Lexus LS400, older model of course, like maybe a 92. It fits into the $25k budget, and if it was black, lowered and had killer 19" chrome rims..... mmm...

Mighty Highlights Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Ahhhh the S2 I dremt about that one for ages. But you will need ~$40k and the fact that there are only ~30 in the whole country probably wont help. And they use porsche brakes.... which cost a mint to replace. I think you best bet is an A4 1.8l Turbo Quattro..... just happens to be my exact car You need the B5 1.8L, you need the Quattro. Basically comes in 2 specs 1996 - DONT GET, hard to chip the ECU 1997<1999.5 (could call series 1 110 kw) 1999.5<2002 (could call series 2 132 kw) updated minor things, a little nicer looking all round. Dont be suckered in by the apparent lack of power of the Series 1, as once you chip both engines, the 2 cars have very similar performance. ~150kw @ 1 BAR. It has a little meatier torque than the WRX so should match a stock one. (need to grab 3rd gear to get 0-100 vs rex 2nd) so 0-100 times are decieving. You can get insurance for <2k, try that with a rex.... I slightly overpaid for my car i think, it cost ~$34. Im sure you could get a 97' with no leather, sunroof and stock wheels for ~25-27 depending on how good you bargain. MAKE SURE ITS THE TURBO QUATTRO (this comes with sport suspension) FYI, The current model A4 is the B6. I forgot to mention, dont buy a euro unless you have emergency cash lying around.... apparently a replacement dual mass clutch + flywheel for the a4 can cost ~$3k Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24592-what-do-you-get-after-owning-a-skyline/page/2/#findComment-524469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Friends have owned euro cars and have to agree with the cost of parts. Dont know about the LS400, but a friend had an ES300, and another a Mazda 929, and another a Honda Legend. All very nice cars. So i imagine the LS400 would be nicer again, with a nice V8 soundtrack, RWD... i think you may be on the money. Fo what its worth my buck fifty is either an A4, Volvo T5, or a Lexus, based purely on the value of the buy. (leaning towards the LS400... thats a stroke of genius... a friend is looking at a 2nd hand accord for his wife, ill have to get in his ear about an LS400) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24592-what-do-you-get-after-owning-a-skyline/page/2/#findComment-524607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
