What Sport Car To Buy

[midnite34]

Hi all,

Unfortunately recently my r34 was written-off.

So now I am in the market for another turbo car but want to spend around 10-15K.

Any suggestion?

I would like to get peoples ideas on this to help me choose a car. Thanks

Another Skyline !!!

on the serious bit, maybe 200SX or something similar with SR20, they go alright and lighter than Skyline.

10-15k a good condtion 32 or 33 would be best bang for buck.. 32 is gettin on a bit go for a 180 type x depending what u want in the car.

[scotty014]

an evo maybe? for a few grand more you could even get an evo 6, or you could look at the wrx's?

180SX or S14.

Or stretch for a bit more cash and get an R32 GTR

[HEKT1K]

33 for sure. 15k will be ample to get it all sorted.

you probably don't want another skyline, so if you're after something punchy i'd say the best value 'sport' car in that price range would be a mildly modified 200sx.. you can get s15's now for 15-16k... newer and better on fuel than the skylines or if you're happy with an older model, there's plenty of s14 series 2's under $15k.

calling it a sports car = engine out

Nice S14 or R33 GTST.

Maybe a WRX if you want something different.

No, no ones asked you whether 19's will fit on an NA s13

damn it, you beat me to it = engine out

Yeah, pretty big power from factory. For $15k you'd get a really good one. Probably forged rebuild with 300rwkw

Even mine came with a new engine and I only payed $8k.

Only downside is all the jokes that people make about them And they actually are kinda unreliable and a bitch to work on.

Another suggestion (even though I'll probably get flamed for it) is an MR2 turbo. Get a 94+ with the GEN3 turbo engine. They go surprisingly quick!! Great handling and heaps of traction thanks to the mid-rear layout. Nice and reliable too.

If you want to go down that route let me know and I can point you towards some nice ones. $15k would get you a really good one!

For 15k your could get a tt supra if you shop smart..

I sold my NA Supra for that price I don't reckon you could get a decent TT for that price. I've seen some mint ones sell for 30k - 40k+
