$4000 to spend.. but what to buy?

[Lith]

Yep I sure do. Any money I spend on a car is always on handling or brakes (or cage / seat / harness )

Wow interesting Makes a lot of sense $$ wise, though I really don't think I'd be able to restrain myself from at least spending around $100 on getting a decent intake if for no other reason I can hear the car on the track haha.

Sorry, not all hondas around are like that.

Most honda drivers, around my area and that I went to school with are like that how ever.

Personally I just dont like hondas, every body is entitled to there opinion.

When you see some knob end iraq's driving around town in there POS CRX with no mufflers just one coby resonator, or when at the drags you see a civic trying to do donuts ( With no handbrake..) you think wow. people are stupid.

Yes there are groups of people that are idiots that drive a range of cars, Hondas seem to be the one's that jump out at me. All my friends agree.

Also on the internet, fortunately half the retards don't know how to use a computer.

I do also have a tendency to be to serious on the internet ( there needs to be sarcasm, or a lighten up font )

And yeah sure, some FWD's might be cool to drive, but i can garrentee its not a stock civic or levin is it?

Stock vs Stock, whats funner? a levin or, say a gts R32? no body thinks the levin is funner to drive, and for good reason.

/rant.

[~SlideWays~]

I reckon a fwd Levin/Trueno is more funnerer than a GTS skyline. Rev happy, light VS's asthmatic RB20de, heavy.

Just cause its rwd doesn't make it good.

[pjay]

$&#$% Id so totally take a Levin over any pos 32 GTS.

Poof

[Leon]

All rear wheel drives are superior. Just look at things like Lada's, and L300 vans. Just by being rear wheel drive, they are made of pure joy. Whereas something like an old school Mini, or a Type R Integra, or any of the Super 1600 cars that run with the WRC cars, they're all total crap because they are FWD, so they *must* be bad.

Oh wait, that's a complete load of balls. Generalisations usually are.

[Py7h0n]

I'd leave the R32 out of the question as they are old, require lots of work and are not good for gas usage.

I'd go for a Levin, Integra, Civic or maybe a Mitsi. It really depends what you like as far as brands are concerned and what kinda fun you are looking for.

[molex]

fwd can be very fun, I would take a well sorted fwd over quite a few heavy rwd whales. I can assure you that as well as being more fun, something like a BZR would wipe the floor with an r32 GTS up (or down) a twisty mountain road.

Ever driven an EP82/EP91 turbo? dead stock they are very amusing

[pjay]

CRX's are handbrake heaven

A few guys on SDU have R32 GTS (2litre NA extreme budget beasts) that they use a clubsport hacks and they often actually do ok, this one is often first in 2WD NA classes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkvw8wjt1ik&feature=channel_page

Looks like a bit of amusement to me haha

[rollaholic]

the only reason to choose the R32 over a levin is for four doors. $&#$% an R32 gtst is barely acceptable imo. i'd rather ride a bike than own an NA RB20.

speaking of bikes, if you want real bang for buck two wheels is the only way to go.

[Alex B]

Levins with stupid exhaust that "sound mint" piss me off just as much as CRX's with a coby tbh.

GTS-t's are turbo? :

I think he was meaning even a GTS-T would be barely acceptable. Which I disagree with...I'd own one as a daily hack

Sweet video, I'm guessing that isn't even close to stock though... Certainly sounds a fair bit more angry than the RB20 I drove

Depends on what you mean close to stock, its all bolt ons...

Thats pretty good if just bolt ons....unless you mean bolt-on-race-prep'd- head etc!

[Lith]

Ahhhh shite I just found out its running big cams and head porting afterall - for ages it was a stock RB20DE but it seems I missed a section of the build where he got a bunch of headwork. My bad haha - though it was always fairly impressive

It also has extractors, 20v ITBs and a Link ECU. Its still an R32 GTS and plenty of fun looking

I've beaten r32 GTS's in a straight line let alone a twisty road.

[headshotnz]

epic fail, i ment gts-t. guess i dont know my nissans.

this is all beside the point.

Its my opinion, its my thread, i like rwd's better.
