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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
