ok well hmmmmm, i guess i will scope out some other old cars, can you guys list some others that are fairly decent cars ? that wont kill me with insurance and also wont cost alot to maintain ?

EDIT : btw, besides a turbo, is there anything else i could chuck on the car to make it just that little bit better to drive? something cheap ?

i dont want to spend like 1K on a new exaust or something for a 20 year old car :(

hey guys, just a few other questions i got if u guy can help me out with.

is there any mods i can install to my car, that dont revolve around a turbo ? bassically i mean mods that you dont need a turbo, but still help.

and does anyone have an idea how much permits cost, or does it very from each mod ?

No power steering is only annoying if the car weighs heaps, is front wheel drive :D or is in need of a wheel alignment/tyres etc. A lightweight rear-driver such as the corolla mentioned above should have very light unassisted steering.

More importantly- it will also use bugger-all fuel, cost bugger-all to insure and cost-you guessed it- BUGGER-ALL to buy in the first place. AND you won't worry about it when you park it in a dodgy pub car-park, or next to the trolley return at the supermarket.

Learn to drive it really well, and experience the warm glow that comes from embarrassing the inept drivers of much flashier and more expensive cars in your old shitbox. Then when you buy your Skyline/Silvia, you'll know how to drive it well AND will appreciate it more.

ya well ive been trying to find a cheap carolla but like i said before they are all expensive, most of them are done up really nice, i seen one for 13K....

my bro's magna is front wheel drive, and non power steering, and its really ****ed up for parking :D

i think ure looking at the wrong sort of Corolla.. the one these guys mean is the Corolla thats older than you.. old but reliable and cheap

the one i saw was 1982 i think.

can someone give me the full name, cause someone said sprinter, someone said ke70, someone said ae82 and ae86, i dunno if they are all the same car.

but can someone give me the full name of this damn car LOL..

btw, if i want to get it inspected before i buy it, do i do that that the local petrol station or is there a specific place to get it done?

any idea how much it will cost?

Yep ure looking for some 4age powered 20v super fast doof doof mobile arent u.

Find a ke70 with the 4ac in it, should cost you about $800. Try to get it with less than 200k on the clock and it should be fine. Then get 3rd party property for it for about $135 a year which will help you build up a no claim bonus and if u ram a merc u wont be in the hole for it. No point insuring a bunky with full comp.

Corolla SE sedan. Classic 80s boxy style. Has the same wheel base and chassis as the famed Sprinter, dont bother with the sprinter- better off getting a s13 na and u know what i think of those. :D

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
