Have been thinking about what you guys said the other day.

Current plan:

- Sell ZX for as close to $6k as I can get

- Buy daily for $3k

- Sell Supra for as close to $16k as I can get

- Buy MR2 in Victoria. Modify it until I'm happy. No matter how long it takes or how much it costs

Does that sound like the way to go?

Might have to drop the price on the ZX again... It won't even sell for $6k. The market is f*cked now. I just want it gone though.

That style of rim has been and gone funky. Had the advan model 5's which look similar to that in 2003 lol

yes kris, thank you mr finger on the pulse. that's why these rims have been sold out across most of japan for the last month after being released in january this year.

shit's selling hotter than crack cocaine.

sounds like the best revision of your plan so far. sensible at least, you've got a car you're passionate about and a decent car to drive around in.

word of advice, spend more on a newer daily that's prone to less faults/breakdowns. esp if you plan to build your MR2 slowly.

I'm sorry but why an mr2?

Just personal taste really. I love the unique shape and the fact that they're semi-convertible (targa top).

Mid-engine RWD in a fairly light car is also a great combination. The handling is very good.

Other cars just don't it for me :( Just like some people here prefer 32s over 33s or 34s. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What would you suggest as a daily? I don't care how girly and embarrassing it is. I'd prefer a smaller car and good fuel economy is a must.

Mitsubishi Mirage? :)

Lol didn't say they looked bad

proton satria GTI, vw golf MK3, civic, micra, starlet... anything really that's small and sub 1.8L. the newer the better.

just sayin they're not as out of style as you may think. Also Advan 5's don't look like that nor do they come in that sorta fitment.

Cheers man :) That's a good list. I'll have a look on carsales now.

Do you know any dealers that would let me trade in my ZX? Would be so much easier than trying to sell to all these boyracers with no money.

offset :(

:)

Lol should I post a pic of my car standard with the rims? It don't look too bad! The kit makes it look more fail offset haha.

Also where I live now I can't lower it anymore too :happy: I scrape to f**k going in the driveway and already getting cracks through the front bar lol

car is going in for another tune soon jezza. Getting a de cat put in and more boost. Need to also get it tuned a bit richer as it leans out quite a bit on very cold nights

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
