personally i would go a jzx100 chaser but you'd have to stretch ur coin to 20-25k for a clean manual with coilover, lsd, wheels. if you are going for a newer import (jzx100, s15 etc) would you really need ur daily? these cars are great because u literally can drive to the track give her alot of schtick then drive the girl friend to dinner later that night.
go to motorman toxin. they have a white jzx100 chaser in stock. coilovers, gauges, lsd, and white meisters. they want 25 tho. the bloke said they could specifically source one from uss for cheaper with similar mods, but because that one has sat there for a few months they need to make a bit more money on it
