Finally, a car to call my own..

[NSXType-R]

Wow, that's an awesome car!

Nothing like your own car, no matter how old it is!

[clutch-monkey]

keep it sleeper how's insurance for it?

[Spastik_Roach]

No idea, although I thought that for cars over 25 years old its cheaper, not sure though.

[Clivey]

That's excellent!

Always remember that with cars condition is critical - it's better to have an older car in showroom condition than a newer, more sporty car (for example) that's been abused before your custody of it.

I got a 2000 model with 147,000km and i was very happy with that..

Your new car has 141,000km and it's over 20 years old!! Man that's a rippa.
All the best with the SigMarrrrr Go the Toyota SC12 Supercharger - eBay Other Performance Parts, Performance Parts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 30-Mar-08 12:55:31 AEST)

You would be surprised how easy they are to fit, And they make some decant power have seen these fitted to Falcons and Commodores, With lower boost they are quieter.

A lot of older cars are more reliable than newer cars too

Too right!

Will: I wouldn't think about modifying your car straight away, you may decide you want to save the money for a better car once you've got some driving experience. I did that - I could have modded the Corsa (tasteful stuff), but instead decided to get a car more worthy of large outgoings first.

If however the car really is a supreme example of it's type, go for it (when it's reasonable to do so)!

EDIT: After looking at the pics again, it does appear to be in fantastic condition and has a kind-of retro charm and charisma (not "Carisma" - that car NEVER had any!).

[Spastik_Roach]

I'm thinking a cold air filter right now and a better exhaust but thats it for a while. Really not interested in alot of power for when I'm just learning to drive. Mod's aren't really too high on the priority list as cash is limited!

[whiteballz]

yeah, just unbolt the exhaust from the cat back

[sproggly]

SE that was the luxury model wasn't it?

Wellington places - Todd Motors - Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand

We had a GLX manual that just kept going and going.

[Spastik_Roach]

Think it was yeah. Flashy seat material and electric windows, not to mention a tape and radio stereo! Central locking too.

[Spastik_Roach]

Its home at last... got a quarter of a tank of free petrol too!

All behold the pimp stick auto shifter....

[clutch-monkey]

ha, that looks near immaculate

[IBrake4Rainbows]

The shifter looks like a Pimp cane.

[whiteballz]

Funnily enough thats exactly what I told him on msn a few hours ago.
