Yo lol,

Lately Ive been buying older cars as my daily bashes and leaving my pride and joy at home for the times I go out. Just wondering what are some cool cars you can buy for 5K and under. They don't have to be cool and fun, they just have to be one or the either. Don't care about age of the car.

List Em lol

You could probably pick up a pretty COOL and FUN S13 Silvia for 5K.

So what is your pride and joy nowadays? Do you still have your 34?

Yeah all the S13's are auto though, i might have to fight to get a manual s13 or a 180 for 5k, but I've been thinking about them. Sold the R34 ages ago, now my baby is a Mercedes C200 Kompressor.

5k, you could get a fully sick V8 VN commo... With like 400,000kms on the clock, and uses more oil than fuel... :pirate:

Nah seriouslly, a mini... So much fun... Bit of a death trap, but still so much fun...

PS> If you taller than 6 foot 3 inchs, forget the mini...

5k could buy a shitty series 5 RX7 turbo... Cost you a packet to be realiable and will get stolen first time you leave it in a carpark...

5k could buy a late 90's pulsar... Good little run about, good on fuel, does wicked FWD skids with handbrackies...

5k could go towards a R31 skyline, then with the change put a turbo on it... Or do a Rb20/25 conversion if you buy one real cheap...

Jes i could go on for days...

5k could buy a reasonable Honda CB500, which will kill verything on fuel economy...

5k could get you into an early 00 600cc Sports bike, which will kill 95% of the cars on this forum...

Im gonna stop now!

ke70 rolla?

Ford Escort although decent ones are hard to come by especially in aus

S13 as mentioned. ive seen a fair few on car sales for 5k that are manual

mx5?

Your mum?

Thats all i got...

Ill trade you my mum for any female in your family, if you got a sister she will do just fine.

I had one of the old mid 90's corolla hatches with the 100kw engine. That went like buggery, handled surprisingly well and was as reliable as anything.

And not too ugly either. The chicks, they dug it. Had to keep the windows wound up to stop screamingly horny women from throwing themselves into the passenger seat whenever I stopped at the lights.

Can a 121 do wicked handbrake skids?

If yes, please continue...

You could always get a couple of maccas trays and....

No I won't go into that, I'd imagine if you're after a daily you want something that you're not going be targeted in by the police.

As i great man once said f*k DA POLICE lol Nah don't care about cop attention either.

gt starlet, they are good bang for buck imo. also maybe a corolla with 4agze or 20V conversion. u still might be able to find one for about 5K. or daihatsu charade turbo, some honda with engine swap for say H22a or something.

look for cool kei cars, but coz they are rare to be the turbo import versions in oz, im sure they woudl want more for them.

or just buy this one lol

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
