im getting tired from this 9-5pm work lifestyle

I want my uni bum lifestyle back

edit; defect cleared, chucked on some stockies. Vicroads lady had no clue what "wheels protruding past body" meant. She just walked around the car putting her hand ontop of each wheel and went back inside lawl

why would u wana do 1000kz a week in an import? why not grab a daily

Because then I'd never drive the 2nd car. For example, I never touch my 300ZX twin turbo (as fun as it is to drive) other than a quick run around once a week to keep things in order.

I want a car that I can enjoy driving every day. Something I can boost a bit on the way to work or driving home from my girlfriend's place at 3am on a Friday night.

Get what I'm saying? MR2s do tend to be very reliable cars, I'm just a bit weary of the higher powered ones. Forged internals would put my mind to rest a bit more.

didnt you just buy a supra?

maybe stick with one car for now, save and buy a really really good example of the MR-gay that you want..

ps: wtf are the rims on the supra?

Had the Supra for a few months now. It's nice... but boring. Sure, it may "rip mad skidz" and go surprisingly quick for a NA but that's not what I look for in a car.

I used to wake up each morning and love driving my little MR2 to work. It was a blast. The Supra lacks that excitement.

As for the rims, they came with the car. I think they're just some aussie shit that TTF would sell. 18 matte black with a polished chrome lip. I don't really like them but I'm not going to bother changing them.

I want a civic like that..... So nice!!!

[funkymonkey]

dear santa.

I can has an SG1 civic please?

quite possibly one of the few honda's I'd ever wanna own.

jizzy boy, buy a 99/2000 model R34 GTt... or a caldina.

[UNR33L]

looks pretty gay to me, sure it goes hard as tho

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

so jizzyboi... your car HAS to have had a respray and a kit? what if the paint is in good nick?

[jezza boii]

so jizzyboi... your car HAS to have had a respray and a kit? what if the paint is in good nick?

No no. Not necessarily. Just say the engine was 100%, interior was nice, wheels done BUT the paint was absolute shit, I wouldn't mind. I'd put that extra money into a respray and kit.

As for good paint already.. If it was black then I wouldn't respray it. However, I still don't like unkitted MR2s.

That's what I did with my last one. Paint was good all over except bonnet... So I resprayed the bonnet and added a kit. Chucked on new tail lights from Toyota (late model) and some clear indicators. Looked brand new. The only thing that car needed was decent wheels and slammage and it would have been perfect in my eyes.

[alr33x]

for 1k a week driving id grab a stock 33 or something thatd be enough fun for the daily grind just get some half decent wheels lower it no kits or anything wont skip a beat, seems like a waste to do that many kz on any car

what do u do people smuggle ?

[jezza boii]

No, I don't people smuggle I'd buy a Hiace if I was into that shit lol.

[Mohsen]

hiaces are shit

buy an isuzu NPR. the one outsides never skipped a beat. *touch wood*

and for 1000km a week, just buy a fkn falcon

on another note

have had a crapola, 512mb memory phone for a few weeks now. satio being delivered today

cannntttt f**kin wait

[funkymonkey]

lol @ driving a sports car 1000k's a week. yeah fuck that off for a joke.

you want one of these:

Caldina GT-Four. They only come in triptronic auto, but sport the best and last 3SGTE's to come out of toyota. 2003 model, parts are common across models. Basically a AWD Celica with a wagon body.

Shit's hot. nga's won rallies and shit with this platform, unlike shitty old roadsters toyota made.

Failing that get a 2000 - 2002 Gen2 Caldina GT-T wagon, that should actually be well within your budget.

[jezza boii]

I appreciate them but it just doesn't do it for me. I'd rather catch the train.

[scotty014]

good idea buy a r34, but mainly buy mine http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Eo...72#entry5122772

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

[funkymonkey]

JZX100?

you can pick up a 2000 model GTt for about 15k/16k now. Shitty market for sellers.

i dont do 1k, bout half that but thats pretty much exactly what i've done. does me well. although i dont think an=bout changing cars every few weeks

[Basti]

also my mate got offered 3.5k for a set of advan trispokes in what look to be approx 9inch width and middling offset (flush on stock r33) by the boys down at traction tyres. they knew some one who wanted the same specs but it turned out that the dude had ordered them from japana couple of months ago. wtf? he paid 500 for them originally.

[jezza boii]

I don't think about it every few weeks.

Had an MR2. Got a crazy offer. Of course I accepted it. Mum bought me a Supra as a 21st present (along with my MR2 money) and now I'm bored with it.

I like MR2s. End of story.

Shan, JZX100 are nice but if I was going down the 2JZ route I may as well buy a turbo Supra.

[paulr33]

basti ive got advan tri spoke if someone is chasing them

interested in swaps / offers / changes to other wheels

ive sprayed them black so they need to stripped back and painted

[paulr33]

ive had my 33 as a daily since i got it

i got it on 58,000 and its now got 230,000 and still goes alright

had an absolute ball in it and its had very little go wrong

but it does cost more than a normal bog stock family car

ie tyres, fuel, insurance etc are always higher but so is the fun factor
