im looking at an R34 now. my bf has an R33 and his is very very nice, and im not saying that because im bias or anything, iv just been there helping him with the conversion the whole time lol.

im planning on going through a site called carizma, they have a fee of 1100 and then another two grand on top of that for compliance etc.
r34's are pretty cheap over there, i found a 4door nonturbo one for 6 grand, and its in mint condition. im getting more and more excited just thinking about it.

are you with a car club? or just a group of mates that go cruising??

They are just my friends cars. There another with a Supra and some shit. 4door nonturbo = eww.

I bought my first car nearly a year ago. 11 months to be precise. I also had a budget of $5,000. Wanted something small, good looking - wasn't interesting it doing it up or anything. also had to be cheap on petrol. Me and my Dad searched for months at car yards and also some private sales. Dad finally found one on the internet - it was like 1.5hrs away from where we live but he went to have a look at it. as soon as he saw it he knew i would like it.

total cost was $4,000

Hyundai Excel Sprint - 98 model.
had just had $1,000 of repairs or something - i cant remember exactly.
came with 11 months rego.
however it has damage to the back bumper bar - a trolley was pushed into it at a shopping centre. and the back seat fabric is ripping. - things we could deal with.

I've only had to replace the driver's door handle for $55. (friend installed it)

about $20 a week for petrol (40min driving, 5 days a week average)

i'm happy with my car - its exactly what i wanted. havent bothered replacing the bumper bar - family friend can do it so wont cost much at all (few beers most probably).

just get what u are happy with and don't settle for second best. i saw heaps of 'ok' cars during my searching but i was never completely happy with them - until dad found my car and i got it straight away.

Re: First Car

your joking right? women are just as capable if not better drivers. we also dont have massive ego's, and are less likely to thrash a car just to look cool in front of our mates.

The average man is generally a better driver than the average woman. Forget this feminism bullshit, men and women are extremely different and men are far better at spatial reasoning. Women are far better intellectually, neither gender is really 'better' because they each have cool abilities (ie we can do science, you can... what? cook? respond easily to anti-feminist trolling?)
That said women can be better car *owners* to buy from, at least mechanically. It's easier to spot the kind of damage they might cause (scratches blah blah blah).

Honda's are pretty expensive for parts.

Heed this advice. I love Hondas, don't plan on driving anything else. But you need to be prepared to source second hand parts and fit them yourself because if you ever get in any minor accident the repair bill will be in the thousands for a single fender

Oh gosh, I totally hate Hyundai cars, mostly bogans drive them, thinking they're like so brand new.



ARE YOU A BOGAN?

Disagree, 10 years ago they were bad cars. Rubbish cars.

But mechanically plus looks they have come a lot further along.

Shouldn't you love them then?

Mitsubishi Magna ('96+) > Everything.

Lighter, better on fuel than falcodore, and with the 3.0 V6 its able to keep on their tails easily too.
