A friend of mine, her boyfriend has an excel with a evo engine in it.. Was in the mags n all, for werid conversions.. hahah so i guess if u get bored you can always put in a evo engine.. lol..

hmm the guy is sellin it actually.. If anyone interested pm me, n i will ask for his number..

Enjoy the car man..

PS anyone wanna buy my camry! 6000$$$ .. v6 csx vienta..

I look at all the car enthusiasts whose first cars were turbos or V8s, compared to the guys getting around in old bangers, and the latter can generally punt a car faster around a corner and a lot more smoothly than people who've always lived with a lot of power under the right foot.

It's probably cause it's easier to learn a vehicles limits in an underpowered car. My first car was a mirage and shit i could hang that thing around a corner quick.... so basicly i think you get a better feel for it with the smaller cars and it helps when you then get into something alittle more ballsier....

anyways,

congrats on the new car, albight it is an excel, it's still a fun little car, my mate used to have one and we used to hammer it as fast over this one speed hump all day, taking turns to see how much air we could get with it..... great memories....

It's a piece of crap but it's economical and should allow you to save a fair whack of money if you're wise about it. Don't modify it. Not even in the slightest. Just maintain it and don't thrash the crap out of it and you should be able to get away with minimal damage come resale time.

My sister has one of those - My god they are slow! We couldnt even get it up to 140km/hr (on a closed airstrip :( ) Got to 138....Good luck with it, fuel economy is GOLD

ohh really???

my top speed is.......

161km/h

but with 4 people in the car going down a slight hill

but she was starting to hit rev limiter and it didnt sound too good

revving like a motorbike

man its so funny how much people will pay and wont pay for cars!

I bought my 97 lancer for $4000 on the road (damaged and i fixed for that amount)

they where valued at $8k at the time. i think i did an awsome deal!

and they funny thing is i saw one a year older then me sold at the auctions for $8000. I freaked out!

Excellent choice for a first car. Helps you build your experience and cheap to insure and run enabling you to save up so in a few years time you can get something quicker if you want.

Well done B)

man, im trying to sell my wife 97 lantra for $5K, 131,000 machancially its in mint condtion, the body is a bit scratched but no rust etc.

anyone interested? fuel saving is great, but the auto is sooooooo boring i feel like killing my self everytime i drive it!!!!

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
