Do you plan on keeping the car after you have your full licence? If not maybe it is better to wait. Then you can get a turbo car and the world is your oyster. Turbocharged power is as good as sex. The advantage of turbocharging is that the pleasure comes whenever you put your foot down. The result of putting your foot down with a woman is a kick in the ballsack.

Definetly want something reliable, therfore newer. Need a non turbo as im still a bit under 2 yrs off fulls and my bro will take this car when i move onto a turbo skyline.

Basically something light and fun. Prefer coupe as well

MX5 is perfect besides the 2 seater hassle.

Is the Beemer myth real or not? As too the expansive parts and such?

n/a supra, vtec/engine swapped civics, teggy vti-r, prelude vti-r, 3s-ge sw20 mr2, aw11 mr2 if you can find one, manual mivec fto, silver/blacktop 4a-ge levin/trueno.

That'd be my shortlist.

Or you've got the classic trashed q's silvia etc

My 2c, buy a te/tf crossflow 6 powered cortina backed by the single rail borgwarner 4 speed box.... Extractors exhaust inlet manifold Holley decent tires will see a 14 second 1/4 enough to walk alot of stockish turbo imports and older v8s.

Bigger cam solid lifters valve springs port work better clutch minispool 90/10 shocks and say hello to a low 13 second (possible 12 second) p plate "legal" street car.

(There is a guy running in the 11s on an NA [no nitrous, turbo/supercharger] cross flow powered td cortina in qld... http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=ACor769AAoA&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DACor769AAoA&gl=GB)

Sky's the limit with them bro, just watch for chassis rail rust and bad shells

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
