Hmmm, well i just turned 15 but i already know exactly what i want, and ive been learning about it for about a full year now.
Im getting (and still saving up for) an S14 240sx, which is the silvia, and 200sx for you guys that might call it a different name because of the engine. I want black really really bad, but black is soooo rare on a zenki (cant afford, kinda dont want the kouki). So ill probly end up getting red or green.
If for whatever reason, i cant get my zenki s14, then my backup plan is either a red or black Chuki S13 hatchback, or an FC (xrt :razz. FC, i dont really care, but id prefer red or black.
Oh, and if i had to, i wouldnt mind an FD either =P
Heres the eye candy. Not the best some of them are good photos themselves, some arent, i just chose the ones that showed what the car looked like the best.
Here's my car, it got a few dents, found out about a new dent few weeks ago. I'm not very happy about it, but if I need to get it fixed I might aswell get a new car:
Here it is - This is officially the worst car in the world, it's only got 89hp, no torque what so ever, and all the power is a fraction of a second before the revlimited cuts in anyway so you can't even really use it.
It weighs 1.85 tonnes, cost £500, comes with Traction Control, that only cuts in if you're belting the gas on an icy rounderbout, when all 89hp might just about get the inside wheel to go ever so slightly awry on the iced white road markings, ABS that comes on far too soon, an electronic stability problem that I've had to hack the control box for and replace some capacitors so it cuts in later, wheels that are so wide that it follows any road markings religiously, and an engine that sounds something like a sewing machine.
Dude, my car has 60HP, doesn't even have ABS, I can't open the damn trunk without cutting off the engine because I need the key (today I figured out what the bad side of that is). And my tyres are tiny and it's a diesel-holic. I can go to 5000 rpm though, but when I do that in first gear people behind me think it's a foggy day.. Power comes on at 2500 rpm.
When reading posts above my car feels winner, 130hp (with megasquirt installed) and RWD with weight around 1.1 tonne so not too much. Now only 100hp as back to carb, feels so slow
So true, insurance prices in UK are something out from this world, specially for new drivers
I would need to pay around 500 here for a year, but as I have pretty long no claims it is around 280 or so now, haven't checked latest but it was bit below 300.
Of course you pay here for each car that you own...
