new car (ideas welcome)

[djshaggeh]

Mr taxman sent me a nice rebate so I thought Id buy a new wagon. Ive got up to 1200 quid to play with.

Choices are, in order:

Nissan Silvia S12 (something fun - I'd try to find a low milage one)
Cavalier (redtop)
Calibra (redtop)

Anyone had much experinece with the above, I've only really owned novas and I want something else for a change (thought id never say that - I guess Im getting old). I dont want something boring or chavvy (RS Turbo etc)

[Dod]

Nissan, GAY!!! Chavs will want to be your friends.

Caliras, GAY!!! Are you a Hair Dresser??

Cavalier, Go for it. Its a Drug Dealer or a Rent a Thugs Car, no one'll mess with you.

I've 4 Cavs and I love them!!

[djshaggeh]

I wasnt asking what your opinion on them was (well I was but was hoping for a more mature response) or what sexuality the cars were - more what you know about them, what to look for when buying etc

[Jack]

For that money you could get a Senator or Carlton :D

Poot poot, barge ahoy lol

[Dod]

Ok, the VX's, what do you wanna know??

[big gra]

nice nissan 200sx s14, wooop

[DTR-DEVIL]

A Bog standard (with clio Turbines :P), low mileage renault 5 GTT. Pornnnn :D

although out of the list, 200 sounds good :)

[bigbened]

the 5 is a good idea, it just so happens i will be selling mine soon lol

[djshaggeh]

Don't like R5 GTT too chavvy/french/unreliable. Im very piccy about the cars I buy! Theres no decent cars out there, looks like I'll have to buy another nova.

Ive gone off the idea of a cav or cali, too boring! Maybe I should save and get an S14 not a fan of the S13. I like the idea of going sideways on boost.

I like the idea of going sideways on boost.

so will your insurance company/bodyshop lol


it depends what you want the car for really, cant see you getting a good, realiable S14 for 1200

cav GSi2000 ??
mk3 astra GSi

[djshaggeh]

so will your insurance company/bodyshop lol


A friend owns a bodyshop and a drift ready skyline, he was the one that got me into the idea after he took my out for a spin.

I dont plan on driving it like a tw@ on the roads, just on private land.

As I said, I'd need to save for a S14. I dont want a sh1tter. Im 90% through a nova xe build so when thats finished there wouldnt be much point in buying a Astra or Cav GSi.

Its looking like the Silvia is winning.

[Jack]

I thought Mk3 Supra, but can you get a decent one for £1200?

[Mike]

^ yes :D

Civic EG with a B16 engine??? Muchos quick and quite cheap, convert it to a H22A engine (Prelude) for 200bhp

[Adam]

You wont get a S14 for £1200.
Well not a ok one anyway
Thats pretty tidy S13 money

[twistysnovagte]

I thought Mk3 Supra, but can you get a decent one for £1200?theres a couple on ebay as we speak1 or two are slightly over his price range(£1600) but im sure if he shows the readys;)

[bigbened]

sideways on boost is for gayers, understeer is where its at. lol it all about trying to turn but carrying straight on on boost, hearing a liner crack and then crying about having to spend another 3.5k on a rebuild doh

seriously though they are great fun and i know what you meen about being chavvy but we own novas ffs. I would consider the s13/14 (the a is a loverly car but abit more ££s) or e30

[ben doodar]

Cavalier, Go for it. Its a Drug Dealer or a Rent a Thugs Car, no one'll mess with you.


so true lol
id have one any day, i will own a cav turbo one day!

:roll: Read the post properly!!
Ive seen a nice S13, I just cant decided weather to spend £1000 on it. Parts will be a nightmare Im sure.

[Jack]

S13 shouldn't be too bad on parts tbh, as there is so many of them about, and they're the "cheaper" option out of the S13/14/14A
