1984 Honda City. $1100 with 6 months rego and roadworthy.

My mate had one of these (I think he still does but no rego atm) only problem with them is the max payload is 250KG! That's not good if you wanna try and get your mates in tehre too hahahaha!

Try and find a decent ET Pulsar, they are wicked fun to throw around, easy to work on and use fark all fuel.

That too...

My friend Peter, he had one for a week and it really move (i.e slighty faster than 32 GTST I had) despite blown headgasket, I offered to buy off him and he refused.

Would love to have one of these little rockets. Decent one go for pretty penny though.

R31 would be sweet!

Anything N/A will be good for a daily, Stop / Start traffic.

I drive a Toyota Corolla AE71 as daily.

Ok on fuel as it runs on a carburettor, you will have to rev the car on start up and that can use a bit of fuel.

Newer cars will get you much better fuel economy.

A Honda Jazz would be an awesome daily as they fuel consumption is great.

About $35 full tank and gets you 600+ Km's.

I found out as I was filling up a friends Jazz and said to myself "WTF?! Is that all it's going to cost..?"

r31 ftw but mine gets 400km to a tank so other cars can get better fuel consumption. but then you have the posives about it....good slider, good tow car, look tuff as hell, 6 clylder nice power. and really cheap these days.

Hyundai Excel?

Bought my old '97 model for 400. Cost me about 900 for rego and RWC including a new windscreen, so about 1300 on the road, and mine was only on 120,000 k's aswell.

Look for one with power-steering though. Once you get going they're fine, but parking without it gets annoying.

Max Payload on mine is 300kg, but yeah, kind of struggles with anyone in it! I love how it has the max payload sticker on the back.

    • 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.
