    Default What would you buy? (Car)

    So here is my dilemma, if you could call it such a thing:

    I want to buy a FUN car, something for the weekends/track/etc. I'm not set on drifting (although i'd love to get into it), i AM pretty interested in circuit. I already have a boring (albeit nice) daily drive car, so yeah, bob saget.

    As most of you are probably aware, i have sold most of my (ridiculous collection of) AE86 stuff *BUT* i have kept a few various important things in case another AE86 is my next car.. I don't want to buy an ADM sprinter .. been there, done that. If anything it will be a low-k, kouki 'notchback'.

    Now my dilemma is, that for ~15k you could do one of the following

    -Buy any of the skyline series, bar 34 GTR (32/33/34 GTST, 32/33 GTR)
    -Buy a JDM S15
    -Buy a JZX100
    -Spend an extra 3/4k and get a TT 6psd JZA80

    OR, buy a nice JDM notch for 10k, and knowing me (who will want turbo), spend 'that remaining 5k' on getting it turbo with a good ecu and a W58. Of course, i will NEVER get back that money on the sprinter, on most of the other cars i might.

    What the fuck would you guys do. I know some answers will be biased given the forum i'm posting on, but i thought it'd be worth a try.

    Robo says the AE86 would be the most fun x 10000, followed closely by the S15, and the rest would be fairly shite bar the chaser.

    I'm currently very hungover, and am not well read at the best of times, so please don't mind my spulling and gramm.ar.s!

    jza80 > r32 gtr > ae86

    thats my preference out of those cars. i personally think youll be better off with an evo or a sti type r both imported for track use only. if you want one of these on the street i wouldnt bother and just get one of the above you mentioned

    Thanks so far guys

    I would NEVER have a non-registerable car .. they are far harder to sell, and half the fun of owning something 'nice' is cutting skids outside your local maccas (etc etc)

    And Gunner, yep, i'm only going for 'unmodified', low k, good condition cars

    prolly have to agree with this.

    mate of mine just got one of these, such a nice car inside.

    or maybe a 34 gtt, though they look pretty povo standard. really need the gtr front bar and some nice wheels.

    s15 is very nice looking straight out of the box, a nice set of wheels and your done.
