Quote from sil3ntwar :

As a fellow Kiwi im just going to say im looking foward to seeing you on the news as the next bloke who wraps his car around a tree. Your obviously looking for a powerful car which means your going to (street) race it. Dont say you arent because otherwise there is no point in getting a high powered RWD.

Now what i said was harsh but dont you think we have a problem when every week a boy racer is on the news after either killing himself and his mates or some innocent people?

Anyway enough of my rant. Want my opinion? Get a corolla. Costs nothing to buy and nothing to run and gets you to work and back. Faily sure there a few RWD versions around although they might be Autos.

Just for the record my mates have Skylines, RX7s and one just got a new Blitzen. Most of them are idiots who probably wont make it to 30.

I am not a boy racer. I am very safe on the roads Im not looking to thrash the car there is a point getting a RWD car.. I just like the driving style better and for me they are perfectly safe. I am very responsible beinhd the wheel im not an idiot.

By the way you call your mates idiots?? haha

Thanks for the input and cheers for the corolla idea but no thanks I think im good. :P

Quote from jibber :

You asked for opinions, i gave you mine. I am calm by the way.

It's a fact (statistics show this all the time) that young people new to driving don't have experience. Maybe you know how to drive a car (its not hard to put a gear in and step on the gas pedal), but you don't have experience. This comes after a few years of driving.

I had my driving licence when i was 18. I had a Golf GTI mk3 for the first 2 years. And trust me, it was plenty of "go" at that time already.
You don't need a skyline as a first car. You might kill yourself or somebody else. And even if you don't wanna hear it, an FWD would be a good idea probably.

haha ok Well.. I feel that I can handle it I drive a manual R33 around the farm all the time and thats RWD and really easy but yes I agree with you a few years of driving experience is good but still..

Im still going to Go RWD

But thanks JIBBER

Quote from Jakg :

I think you watched one too many "Initial D" episodes.

I have no idea about the situation insurance wise in Nz, but i'm willing to bet you've forgotten about it. Or the problems with buying a car for "6k" (which i'm geussing is about £3k) which is a Skyline as it's probably got every single part on the verge of breaking because the previous owner was a 16 year old who thought he was the next d0r1fT0 k!ng!11 and thrashed it without TLC.

Christ alive people get shitty first cars for a reason...

EDIT - I forgot, iirc Insurance isn't compulsory in New Zealand...?

Thanks for "your" input JAKG but not all of us just want to thrash the sh*t out of there cars and im not asking your input for me getting a Lambourgeni its only a Skyline.. cheap as chips runs great ill find one with minuimim rust and chassis in good order I can check if its been thrashed by taking it for a test drive and yes i have thought about insurance thats why im considering a non-turbo

thanks though Jak

Everyones input helps

haha calm down buddy I know How to drive

Hey

Im 15 and I am Saving up for a car now I am Looking for something that is RWD im not going for FWD I dont like how it runs And I am looking for something cheap these are some options ive come up with.

Nissan Skyline R32 ( Fair power but The RB20 might be a bit steep on gas But the car has plenty of go and with the right parts is a dream)

Nissan S13 Silvia ( same with the silvia But I think the Sr20det would be better on gas and it will drag its ass sidewayz if need be)

Toyota Ae86 ( this one is a tos up because these are hard to obtain and are quite expensive But the 4agze is Reliable and should be fine on gas and it has plenty of go)

Early model BMW Ie E30 or E36 ( Bmw would be a good choice because I wouldnt want many performance parts for it and the car is a beauty stock not sure about gas prices on these though..)

Now Ive been looking closely at the specs of these cars and it looks like to me im going to be looking for something under 2.0 or just over because gas prices are steep here. Another thing im concidering is going turbo or non Turbo but I think my minds set on Non Turbo and the other thing that was bothering me was if I should go EURO or JAP because im not sure how easy it is to get parts for bmws because its Blimmen easy for a JAP car

Im not looking to spend anyway over 6k it depends im going to work for longer so I can get more money but yeh

What do you guys think??

thanks for the help

'Bleeding Canvas'
As this painting evolved onto the Canvas it's meaning to me became clearer and clearer;
To me it represents the journey that takes us from our birth into this world, through life, to our inevitable departure from the Earth plane and then onto the 'after life' or whatever it is that is beyond this mortal world.
The large cut signifies the start of our material life but it's pure white color shows how are soul is still pure and peaceful and has not yet been influenced by the world as we know it.
As the cut starts to bleed into the world the color changes to red. The flow and shape of the blood from the top right of the cut to the bottom left signifies our lifes journey.
There are three main bulges or waves that are represented in the blood - these are the growth stages of life: Childhood, Teenage/Adolescents, Adulthood. Then the blood trail widens (indicating the retirement years) then quickly tapers to a point. This point represents the end of your life on the earth plane. The drop of blood is your soul travelling on to it's next destination (whereever you believe that to be) - still in the red color - before arriving in a pool of white, the same color as when you arrived in this world.
At least that is my understanding of what I see as I stare at 'Bleeding Canvas'
This is the first of only a few select paintings that will ever be released by me for sale, in my opinion it is a truly rare opportunity to become the owner of a unique piece of artwork that can be related to by all of us on this planet.
Painting is 40" x 30".

well here goes

This is really going to piss people off but ive been playing since Patch P and have really enjoyed Live for speed but I always thought to myself why dont I get S2 but then i always thought of the cons of purchasing s2 and it really chose me not too get it

The reason id love to have the s2 voucher is because I really want to RACE! I just so want to get behind the wheel of that FXR I just Love that car I want to change Live for speed for everyone by accepting everyone in the community and not putting people down I just want us to be one happy family and I would really like to compete! I just know with a bit of practise i can be up there

with xrt on blackwood i can achieve 1:26.32 which isnt bad.
and XFG i can achieve 1:35:10 which isnt too bad either im not the best racer in the world But i think i could change Live for speed..

Sorry

Good Luck To all

Too much waffle.. but i just know somewhere someone will understand

Ps. I really think Epidermisboy aka skinman should have this he has contributed soo much in the Live for speed community and he really deserves it.
