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

    • 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?
