whiteballz: new car?

[whiteballz]

alright, a while ago there was a scare of whiteballz (me-duh) getting an HE holden as a first car.

Now a few months down the track without this horrid far ^^, im on the prowl seriously for a good car, ive got the Automotive trading post open on my lap and these are the cars ive circled to have a think about.

#1 Austin 1800: "1966 restored, one family owner, 11 mths rego, |AAA-974| (number plate)


#2 Dihatsu charade Cs (im not so keen on this) 5 sp man, EFI, Extractors, 2 1/4 sports exhaust, full body kit, 17 INCH CHROMIES sports steer, alarm/central locking, 15 inch sub-woofer w/ CD player. $5500 |wkd-20y|

#3 Mazda 1300 2 door. 1975, one owner (i doubt it) only 96000kms new 2pak canary yellow paint, perfect black trim, whitewall tyres, immac condition, "very rare" $3999 |ojh-628|

#4 Toyota corolla coupe 1975, RWD 1.2L 4 speed manual trans, 10 month rego, 2nd owner 120000kms, rare model, lovely to drive, very good condition |hfw-742| $2500

what are your thoughts? which one would serve as first car best?

[Mustang]

id get the austin and maybee slip a cossie motor in there

[whiteballz]

i duno... whats not to like about a car with the same sized subwoofer as standard rims?

Thou shalt not buy a riced Daihatsu
Thou shalt not buy a Mazda with whitewalls unless thou art Japanese and have no taste
Thou shalt not buy a 1.2 litre sports car unless it's very small, has a bike engine or is a rotary

[whiteballz]

its not riced... its actually good looking bodykit, but the chromes are bad :P

[Rockefella]

#6 doesn't sound too bad.

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

yeah #4 an #6

[SPN:DOC]

they are all pretty expensive.... i don’t think they are worth it, i have been looking for a car too and i found that you can get a Seat Ibiza (1995) GTi for 5k and Astra F (1997) GSi for about 6-7k....

[Vindesh17]

I think you should go with the '66 Austin. Its a beautiful classic car in my opinion and if you upgrade the engine and drivetrain it'll be even better.

[pimento]

Those old Preludes are nice, and a Mazda 1300 with whitewalls can have the tyres replaced, if that is wished.

[:Exige:]

Personally Id go for the Celica but the Austin looks tempting. The Austin is definatley the more unique of the few and possibly the car with the most potential. I wouldnt touch #2,#3 or #4 with a bargepole.

[whiteballz]

i think the celica or the austin i prefer most. i like the austin.. what engine would fit in there nicely?

that i WOULDNT kill myself with.

[clutch-monkey]

i'll sell you my honda, absolutely no chance of killing yourself

[fpv_gtho]

I'd get the old Corolla or the Celica, 2 1/4inch sounds too big for a Charade so it'd probably have even less power than stock

[whiteballz]

as if you wouldnt want a bright red full kitted, fart cannoned, chromeid up charade :P
