New Car... Help me plz

[James The Wog]

so heres the thing, i wrote off my car (witch i only paid $5500 all up because i brought it near write off and fixed my self for next to nothing). the car was insured for $8500 minus the $900 excess, so i made some money of it. ne who now im looking for a new car ive got 10k all up to spend and i was thinking of a S13 Silvia 2.0L non Turbo Manual but i dno there kinda old and most likely to be thrasshed, or i was thinking my cousins civic its an EG with a b16a Manual a lovley body kit on it, cold air in take, nice rimes ect... now heres the question.. if i gave you guys 10k to buy a second hand car wot would youse get? (and dont say you would spend the 10k on your car lol).
im open to most things coz im sik of gettin shit from mates and guys from work about driving my mums mazda 3 around.

cheers guys and girls

ciao...

[Sexc86]

put it this way... an eg civic with a b16a would have to be a better choice in every catagory over a pig s13 non turbo

Fuel Economy
Power Output / Performance
Style
Police Attention (Eg civic get less)
Reliability and part replacement
handelling
Factory Features (depending on what model it is, Gli,Vti,SI)

Good luck champ

Please don't buy a NA Silvia,theres really nothing good about it,honestly.
Maybe try to explain what type of car your after eg. 2dr/4dr/luxury/sports/bit of both etc.
Makes it easier for recommendations.
Luxury-Lexus Es300
Sports-Mx5/Crx/Integra Vtir
Just some options...

[James The Wog]

i always like the 2dr 2seat option (s2000 lol) but 2dr 4seats sounds al right aye but im not really fussed, i was also thinking RWD because my crash prob woulden of happend with a RWD car, but is the ne honda with Rwd??? also sporty and i want something that one day (not Right now) i can go turbo, coz thats what i was thinking with the 2.0L non0turbo silvia that down the track theres always that option.

[kn1ghtm4r3]

s2k =) is ur rwd honda then. turbo that n have fun. but its a little outta ur price range ahahh

s13 non turbo = not that great lol

is that the car in ur avatar that u smashed?

[James The Wog]

yer i just tried to change it to the pic of it on the roof trying to figure out y not there now, i was actually thinking of getin a s2k, buying a written off one for around 10k but to much work atm. not enough time and money to fix.

check this out http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69398 got pic of my car

[kn1ghtm4r3]

lol thats hectic lol

but i dunno if having a rwd would of helped u avoid the accident =P but yeah id stay away from buying written off s2ks =P be quite a bit of work involved.

[James The Wog]

yer man full lucky i wasent hurt aye

[James The Wog]

there ar some pic on its wheels and the light pole i took on and lost to...

brings a tear to my eye, see just b4 i crashed it i filled up with petrol pi$$ed over that

[Red_EG4]

I would love to get a 'Teg or a 'Lude with that $10k.
really there's plenty of options for ya, it all depends on your wants and needs.
good luck James.

[cristian]

u cant really say that the cause of the accident was due to the fact that ur car is a FWD...
silvias are fun cars, but like what Sexc86 said...the non-turbo variants are pigs...

[mku01]

im open to most things coz im sik of gettin shit from mates and guys from work about driving my mums mazda 3 around.

that says it all... so get the EG with nice bodykits and all :thumbsup:

but seriously.. i'd go with the EG

[Off_the_boat]

I'd consider an SiR prelude, they're quite fast and reliable

[James The Wog]

i got told that the prelude's like 87-91 are hell un reliable (is that 1 word???) and that they have benn thrashed just like the s13's.

and yes i am sik...

FULLY SIK

[turbo convert]

my mrs had an s13 n/a and it was terrible,no power and lots of probs pls dont!
for that price you should be able to get something decent, for your price get a cheap teg vtir.

[dc2vtir]

a gen2 CRX SiR or even just Si and you have the option of 2seat or 4seat lol just my suggestion

or look for a AE86

[IAMVTEC]

i got told that the prelude's like 87-91 are hell un reliable (is that 1 word???) and that they have benn thrashed just like the s13's.

I can't agree more. But sorry to see that you wasted about $30 bux of petrol:(

[dc2vtir]

well they are but who can fit in the back :p i know i and most of my mates would break their neck going over a speed bump lol
just rip it out and put a fully sik doofer in there

man u think they are bad, try squeezing into the backseats of my CRX lol man u cant even sit up right..u havta sit on an angle so u head doesnt hit the roof and ur legs will have space lol coz theres seriously like 5cm of legspace unless the ppl out the front move their chairs all the way up

[kraiye]

thats why the rear of 95% of crx's are either gutted or filled with stereo
lol
;)

i had a series 3 Rx7 that had the backrest right up against the back seat and if u try 2 sit in the back it would be the same case as the crx...

i think paseo's have the same problem...

[James The Wog]
