Hi guys.

Just came here looking for some decent suggestions on P-Plate legal cars. I want something that looks nice and has a bit of grunt too for around the $10k mark. I've been looking at N/A R32's and new model Preludes, but I'm really unsure.

Thanks guys.

hey mate my second car when i was 18 was an n/a 32 with a gtr front i sold it 2 years ago and to date was the cleanest n/a getting around. Went hard beating standard 5lts and others in that range. if you can find 1 thats clean GET IT!!!!! and they sound awsome.

Series 4 / 5 non turbo RX7s, they will beat all on your list but then again, its a rotary, so make sure you know how to maintain it. or at least know a mechanic that is not a douche

other options

E36 beemas, low performance but if u can find the 2L, its be alright.

EG or EK (maybe) civics, probably hard to get but get an aussie delivered version and it does alright. if your shifty you can swap over suspension / exhaust / motor etc and no one will know. type r bits anyone???? HELLO BITS

my fave sleepers, RX or GX imprezas. go ok and have THE SAME awd system as a WRX. fix it for handling, and buy an EJ or newer motor after P's!!!

heaps of rare personal imports if you can find em too

I'm not exactly sure on this but isn't insuring a skyline costly?

If you are buying a car with reasoning, then Corolla or Camry. Reliable & low maintenance cost = important aspect for a 1st car.

On the other hand, if you are buying it on impulse, any of the sporty ones the others have already suggested are good.

Needless to say, I didn't buy my car (also 1st car) with my head :)

sure is lol, when i had my r33 gts, it woulda cost me $3000 for full comp, $650 for 3rd party fire+thief, but i was 18 then, and only just car will insure you.

but now, with just car, you can choose how much excess you wanna pay. if you choose like $500, your premium would be about $3000 still for full comp, but if you choose $1600, then your premium would be $1500.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
