fordie_glanzaV Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Need some ideas of what car to get the misses...Currently she's got a bagged mk4 golf gti turbo.. Way we thinking is breaking it down to near standard selling the parts then the car seperatly.. Should see anywhere between 2-3kAt heart think she wants a starlet but she very undecided... what other fun quick cars could she get for that value. Prefferably wants to come to the jap side.Any ideas would be welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Could get an Altezza for 3k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im still with the altezza or is200 sport lolQuite slow cars, still wont touch a CTS with the supercharger kit. Consider the celica t sport if the corolla isn't quite your cuppa.

morgey Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Classic scoob. Get a uk 2000 or basic wrx for that, but id be careful as most will have been abused.Mitsi Fto 2l v6 mivec, theyre something a bit different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fordie_glanzaV Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 She liked idea of the scoobs but insurance was to high.. She wanted a s14 but could only get a n/a... lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Consider the celica t sport if the corolla isn't quite your cuppa.Celica is a good shout too, i had one of the 190bhp ones for a bit, was a pretty good car, doesnt look that great. The sound they make is outstanding though!Classic scoob. Get a uk 2000 or basic wrx for that, but id be careful as most will have been abused.WRX is a great all round car, had a couple myself. As Morgey said there are a lot of dogs out there so youd need to be carful buying one. Edited February 10, 2016 by daniel_g Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The BEAMS Altezza's are worlds apart from the straight 6 cars. As for the 2ZZ, its a cracking sound once in lift. And style has never been Toyota's strongpoint lol.

fordie_glanzaV Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Personally id like her to have an altezza or starlet... lol. It would be more suited to her style... And yeh your right looks have never been toyotas selling point lol...This is her golf now..And this is what made her think altezza/lexus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 If you can get a clean BEAMS then go for it. Keep away from the 6 pots though. Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ep3 type r had one as a daily for a few months now and love it the thing just loves to being thrashed my missus drivers it to and hasn't broken anything yet so that's got to be a bonus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Please don't do ^^ to an Altezza. An IS200 would be better for that kind of brutality! Mazda 3? Of any flavour? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordie_glanzaV Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 She's decided whatevers next aint gunna be a low car..just likes the look of that 1. I mentioned honda and she just turned her nose up.. although id like to own 1 at some point. Bloody woman difficult to pleaseol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I had a corolla t sport and loved it had a civic type and never really bonded with it one of the few cars I was glad to see the back of it wasn't a bad car just not for me ,my choice would be a corolla hands down ignore the 0-60 of 8.4 its a load of crap its same as Celica as a friend had one ,just lower 30 mm job done great cars only thing I bought was a wiper motor in 5 years and 65,000 miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I drove both the Corolla t sport and the ep3 before I made my choice main thing that swayed my decision was the handling ep3 is far superior brakes on the ep3 are shit though and the abs kicks in way way to early Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 tell you what its a risky business but if you know a lot about cars and thoroughly check it out, then classic scoobs are awesome. my mate went and bought a turbo 2000 with 80k for 2k lol i was very sceptical but its fuckin clean and quick! only downsides are its mega tax and thirst lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 only downsides are its mega tax and thirst lolAnother downside if you drive an Impreza is everyone will think youre a bellend haha!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) I drove both the Corolla t sport and the ep3 before I made my choice main thing that swayed my decision was the handling ep3 is far superiorThat was a point well made the handling was very good my type r was stock my t sport was lowered and still not as sharp as the civic type r ,like I said whitenoize it wasn't a bad car at all just never took to it owned it 3 years aswell maybe I prefered the wolf in sheeps clothing of the t sport , but yes the ep3 handled brilliant ,how cold is that gear knob on winter mornings though lol , strangely I always liked the accord type r can imagine not many decent ones around anymore though Edited February 11, 2016 by burty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Haha yeah I've noticed the cold gear knob actually lol and the car steams up really easily for some reason .. They do an accord type s in the newer shape with a k20 In I'm actually thinking about getting one for the missus to do the school runs in etc Edited February 11, 2016 by Whitenoize Quote Link to post Share on other sites
