After next week I'll probably be in a Veilside kitted 3S-GTE Celica. Guy has got till Sunday to decide if he 100% wants to go ahead. It's something different to run around in while I save for the 34R in 2010.

Ask yourself some questions which will help you:

- How long do you plan on keeping it. It may be wiser waiting weeks/months/years to save more and buy what you really want. Always look long term.

- How much money will you have spare each month to put towards maintainence, repairs, or upgrades

- Can you afford insurance every year on the car

plenty more questions to look at but those should get you started and then you can narrow down your selection based on that. :)

And for rare, jap car thats pretty underated, Should look into a '00/'01 Galant they have lots of potential. and quick cars stock. Only thing is I don't think they come in manuals.

I bought my GTR with a rebuild in the pocket and some R34 GTR turbos on it, swisshhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)

Maintenance every 6 months.

im sure it cost alot more then 14k then :)

phsssssssssssst!

only way to get unique with 14k is to buy a modded one and stand out

rb26 s13 convertible

unique rare and cheap for whats done to it

only 15k too

I've basically decided on the JZX100. I love those cars. I know I can't get one for $14k, but no harm in saving up. Mike, how much do you want for yours?

Bubba, I want to buy Mike's. I know he looks after his cars.

You can get manual JZX100's.

Tom, JZX100 is the model (and not just Chasers, Chasers are the Tourer V models, you can also get MarkII's and MarkII Grandes), and I don't like JZX90 Chasers so I differentiate by using the model code :P

I would say Galant VR4's, cheap, rare and can be found in manual.

Soarer's are OK, but more of a luxo coupe so maybe not your style.

Levin BZ-R if you want to save money and fuel but still drive something different (but FWD of course), otherwise old AE86 but getting too old to find a clean example.

leaves you with local S14's :P

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
