Whats The Hottest Looking Car For Under 20k?

Whats everyones thoughts?

1999+ S15 200sx, you can get one with a few goodies for $20k, and I'm sure you can sort out a set of deep dishies

batmobile

series 6 batmobile's are pretty hot and so are s15's, both of them would look pretty hot with big dished wheels on, altezza? or na

If you are after a cruiser and Altezza would be a good bet, being NA they will probably be a easy to maintain, however the S15s are pretty reliable too. All would look hot with dishies

Yeah go for a S15

thoughts on an e46? there are becoming pretty common though

I agree with milfb8 on all points
Really depends on the look you're into, also as much as I'm not a honda fan I think they newest model integras look pretty good with a nice body kit, but definately a batty or an s15 with deep dishes over the honda anyday

are you meaning the dc5 integra's?

definatly batty for 20k you could get a fairly mint one! and as said above, drop it on some deep dishes and will be damn good looking

Well I do like Rx7's however the GTO's look pretty fine too cause they're so wide I reckon. However both are twin turbo standard

If you shopping purely on looks for under 20K then look no further!

heh..

GTO's would have to be without a doubt the most queer car on the market, the poor mans ferrari.
I like the idea of the s15 though

Each to their own eh.. You think they look like a Ferrari?

That reminds me.. last friday I saw a blue Testarossa convertible on K'rd with the license plate "SATAN"

Pretty sure it was Mark Lions driving it eh!

PS Without a doubt?? You mean your'd rather have a RAV4 than a GTO?

a GTO? hahahahahahahahahah!


without a doubt the single biggest money pit you could choose

GTO's are about as gay as a bodyshop gift basket, I would take the rav4 in a heartbeat and look like a bit of a prick instead of looking like a poor middle aged man going through a mid life crisis in a GTO

Thats David Black from Wellington.

fuck yes i would take a rav4.

*heavy as hell
*loaded with technical trickery which while stunning for the time, and much of it has gone on to be honed and developed well (in particular a lot of the awd drivetrain), it all likes to break. and when it does, well just be sure you have plenty of anal lube handy.
*thirsty
*when the turbos go (not if, when) you pretty much have to pull the engine to replace them
*as above, a fucking PIG to work on unless you are an asian midget
*did i mention they break a lot?

ugh. yuck.

You guys are wack

It's Blackmore- He sure has an appreciation for fine cars.

That must explain it.. I'm 30 something

please dont tell me you drive a gto

*cough cough* Legacy..

Yeah thats him

I like his Bentley('s)

GTOs are just a heavy shit box, go the S15, battys are all good but aren't very reliable. The SR20s in the S15 are pretty strong and with a nice kit and rims they look like sex on wheels

im sure you could bater him down to 20k

http://www.nissansilvia.co.nz/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19140

doesnt look to bad q

6 Speed manual, SpecR mate can't go wrong for that price

And you don't need to so anything to ith other than taking that rear spoiler off

Rear spoiler removal, serious kit, adjustable suspension and some dished wheels and then your looking at a half decent car

a) "Cant go wrong" and "that price" should never be in the same sentence

b) m1lfb8 is gay.

and andrew has a 2inch

Series 7 Batty,
S15 200sx spec R, 2 obvious choices
Toyota aristo 3L TT, look PHAT lowered with some 19 deep dish and a kit, pull a mean donut too...
Toyota supra 3L TT
Toyota Celica GT four (newest shape)
R34 GTT...

no celica gt4 in the latest shape.

Farkkoff with the Celica, hunk of shit!!!

However the Aristo

This would be the fucken bizness

i'd either get an s15 silvia or an s15 silvia.
only other option i'd look at is a skyline but I what the price ranges on the various models are anymore. It will depend a lot on whether you're happy with a 2.5l or if you want a turbo model.
batmos are too risky, imo. but i li' them a lo'.

if you want a cruiser, grandad, then I got no idea

My dad just purchased a new boat for down at the bach, he asked me if I had any good ideas for where to get a good boat anchor, I replied "look for an r34 on trademe"
SKYLINE'S ARE QUEER

it's official, this forum is full of ricer fagets

Apparently I felt so strongly I needed to post that twice

Well theres always the 'vette option

i sure as fuck aint buying no nz$20k 'vette lol

What exactly are you buying then Kris?

My 34 is not queer!!

They dont look queer when there used as a boat anchor

Each to their own i think 34's are one of the sexiest chassis's money can buy! next 2 a batty

maybe milfb8 is looking for something more like this
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a179/jasonh1234/P9180241.jpg

but yeah, I love the r34 GT-R's, they look so aggressive but yeah probably find it hard to get one under $20k lol. So stick with the S15 (dodgy 6 speed) or rx7 (sex on wheels).

that money can buy? So if you could have anything, you would choose a 34?

But as you say, each to their own

If I could buy anything it would be a very highly modded r34 Z-tune As cool as some of the euro sports cars are, its just not me to own a ferrari/porsche/lambo/etc..

Word!!! the z-tune is the fastest production car ever built isnt it? but im totally with ya on that one, but back to the budget of 20k i rekon a lightly modded batty

and mabee, i think youll find i wrote NEXT to a batty, so id rather have a batty

thoughts on an evo5?

They love oil, and eating gearboxes.

???? maybe a ass balled mis treated one

Ones ive seen that have been serviced regularly and not abused constantly are like any normal car

Boyracers

yeah i meant the newest GT4 shape, late 90's?

Rotors are cool, my rx7 starts first time every time.... and hooks a mean second *BRAAAAAAPP*

Yeah I was gonna say the same as nemisis, I have never really heard of there gear boxes shitting out that often.

Just don't buy one from the bros doing 5000 rpm launches along Ti Irangi Drive.

u gotta rx? what generation?

series 5 rx7...

mint

yeah its pretty standard, low kms and mint condition. gonna sell it in a few months if you know someone keen. Its a GT Ltd, leather interior, electric sunroof, 5 speed etc the top model 69550 kms, was locked in a garage and deregistered from 99 till 2004 when i bought it.... i should get some photos up but i dont know how to put them up on the forum...

R32 GTR!
Alot of car for your money.. and u'll be leaving everything behind you.

Or a R34 GTT Manual.

roll old school bro! 20k you could do alot maybe with new school motor ,sr cupe corolla /ta23/ avenger. i've got a v8 charger been thinking about a 4.1, 4cam lexis retro fit

I got a Series7
http://ravestyles.com/stuff/rx7 <-- pics there

absolutely love it! way cooler than my r34 lol.
just got back from Sydney so hopefully should be starting some modification within the next 2 weeks

Very VERY nice man, thats my dream car for when i get outta uni and earn some real money.... she looks pretty stocko what plans u got in the pipeline?

nice, the series 7 are way better than the 6 cause the 6 had a few bugs (like they used to catch fire!!) that they fixed with the series 7. I just sold my series 5, id love to get a series 7 but family must come first so i am getting a golf gti... bugger!!
Pics look nice, check out www.racingbeat.com for some performance parts, they specialise in rotas and thier exhaust systems are the best by far....

so far it just has the mazdaspeed struts front & rear, twin pod k&n filters and big bore exhaust system with 2.5" tubing.

be fitting an AVS S5 alarm system thursday with all the gadgets, gps will be going in sometime in the next 2 months. In the way of mods I have a microtech lt10-s ecu + x4 ignitor & bosch coils to go in, and in the next 3-4 weeks will be fitting apexi avcr boost controller, hks ssbv blowoff valve, GReddy boost gauge (probably do a dual piller with some other gauge) and thats about it at the moments.

there are plans to have some 18-19" lightweight deep dishes on before summer drags and MAYBE the frontmount, depending on how hard the pockets are hit by then. I'd share what im getting in the way of body work sometime mid next year but dont want to give away too much right now

ohhh gna be one of those cars looking 4ward to seeing it soon then

yeah well its gonna take a while since im basically putting top grade stuff in it, I sooo dont want a ricer haha. but still got the skyline to drive around while I build it up slowly so its all good.

but ill take it out and get some more/better before pics taken so I can keep a record as I go

Youre a homo

Evos and gearboxes dont mix either

And if your gonna roll old school, do it properly...



Saw one of these for 12k a couple of years back. Really good condition given its age too.

haha im not usually into old school american cars but thats pretty nice, im sure they all come standard with airbags these days as well

lol, and while looking through the gallery I just found a pic of the girl that ran right into the side of my bat on Saturday night while i was drivin down k'rd on her rush to Pharmacy

Its hard to go past a nice mid-70s Cadillac, actually theres a few old-school Americans that might be able to change your mind (lookswise anyway )

I dunno...cadillac's, chevy's and mustang's are probably my limit, mustang's being at the top of that list

apart from the rear lights (i'd go for the black ones) http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Mitsubishi/auction-69897274.htm

Hottest by far.. cept an S15 would be nice too.

Evo 4-6's are the new r32

All for the S15 though

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Subaru/auction-51735554.htm

i just bought one o these....

without the spoiler of course.

looks better with the spoiler imo

wheres the bonnet scoop??
