daler32 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 my first car was a 92 subaru brumby. got it from my grandad at bout 60000ks sold it at bout125000ks and thrashed the crap out of it the whole time tops speed of 163km/h (private track) had a 2'1/4 inch exhaust k&n filter rollbars 2 12 inch subs and a pair of kicker splits best part about it. the only problem with it was parts were so expensive. for example new distributor from subaru = about $2000 new 2nd gear shaft from subaru= $2500 put those two parts together and they r worth more then the whole car in one piece lol. but was very reliable only probs i had was things that i caused like 2nd gear Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/62489-your-first-car/page/3/#findComment-1178647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NA_R33 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 my first car was a VL with 17s, and a nice (free) respray, sold it before i got my leaners for a nice profit, bought the car u see in my sig, started off as a non turbo 2.5 ltr that ran a 14.0 with gas, then got turned into something unique early last year, still havent sold it, and i bought myself a 33 Vspec, parents helped me out a little with the NA 33 the rest i bought myself, and yes i do live at home and pay minimal board but im working full time while going to uni and earning reasonable money for my age so im making the most of it. Though i do plan to move out in a month or so as soon as i get the gtr back on the road.

Nismo_Boy Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I’ve never really had a “real first” car, as everything I have owned has been bought with only the intention on re-selling it for profit. 1) 93` R32 Gtst - $14,00. Sold for $16,200. 2) 89` K’s S13 - $4000. Sold for $4500 with no running gear. 3) 89` K’s S13 - $5500. Sold for $7000. 4) 93` R32 Gtst - $14,500. Sold for $16,000. 5) 89` R32 Gts - $?. Sold for $TBA. I guess if I had too list a “real” first car, It would be a 600hp S13 I took over after it was used for drag racing by another family member.

Better yet, save for the deposit on your first house! Bought my first when I was 21 - only wish I had done it sooner and haden't ploughed so much cash into cars! I'd sell my GTR tomorrow if I could get another buy like that house!
