dai_starletN/A Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 It ticks every one of your boxes Dai all except of insurance but yeah other than that im still keeping my options opened Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 S2ks are a fortune to insure even for me lol and after driving one for a bit they're monstrously twitchy, I wouldn't recommend one as a first RWD car tbhYou can get an Autech Silvia fresh off the boat for 3.5-6k ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 You'll get sick of a DC2, they're torque less lolI would have to agree about the torque less part but the handling is insane, straight line speed and power isn't needed when u can out corner most things. And they're good on fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Mates got a 94 mitsi mirage cyborg. Around £1k but needs head gasket and water pump Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 That's a bargain. Slap the 1.8 bottom end on it out of a Satria GTi and they've been known to push over 200bhp... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richglanzav Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 lol your rather hard to please aint ya dude - theres not many other options i can think of lol eunos if u find a rustless one is a wicked car. look for a 1.8 import with an LSD. 130 odd hp and handles like a dream. failing that the only other car i can think of is a proton satria gti. cheap as shit as they are built very cheaply but good engine and very nippy indeed.

dai_starletN/A Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 all the cars that have made the list so far with the rule of being JDM, N/A, manual gearbox, 2lrts or less, stock or light tune, with in budget-ish, parts are easily available cheap and theres a great variety to choose from. 1)AE862)Altezza3)180sx (or some other silvia)4)S2000 ( hit or miss on this one cause of insurance)5)Civic (i hate to say it but it somehow made the list)6)MX5/Eunos7)Integra8)Starlet KP9)Skyline (if i can find a 2ltr n/a version) i know they exist atleast i hope so lol10)Something old school with a carburettor maybe this list can change overtime so its not final. if you guys can think up something better and if it fits the criteria let me know and if theres issues with an of the cars i should know about let me know as that helps me atleast try to avoid messy situations. i cant thank you guys enough as you have been a great help honestly. i know theres a limited variety of JDM N/A's theres more turbos on the market from what ive seen but the car i will get will not be driven daily as my job is like a 15 min walk from my house (once they finish the road works that is lol) anyway keep the suggestions coming Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addymk2 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 i dont like them for some reasonCyborgs or Satrias? Cyborgs are awesome. I had a Satria and the handling on that thing was pretty bloody epic for what it was. Building a bastardised Cyborg with the Satrias suspension set up and bottom end would make for a seriously rapid car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 MR-SMR2RX7DC5CRXMX6FTO A few more to consider, not to everyone's tastes but all can be found in N/a and under 2L. Also Impreza & Legacy. PreludeAccord Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Also, you say engine size below 2 litre for insurance reasons... Honestly the engine size makes minimal difference. Chances are you can insure a 350z for less than an S2k... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I agree with Addy, my daily is a 2.5L Legacy and thats far cheaper to insure than other cars with less CC, a Glanza for example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Mines a 2.8 bmw and it's cheaper than my Glanza and my Teg by far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMB Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Those 2.0 n/a R33 skylines do exist but are so underpowered and un desirable. A 2.5 n/a costs the same to insure and is a much better car. Recommend it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
