180sx

[assad_l]

Well i dont know if you guys know this yet but over here in australia when your on your learner license and pervisional license you cant have turbo, pretty shit hey.
well these days in aus its hard to get a sr20de (non turbo) 180sx so if i get a turbo 180 (sr20det) will i be able to take the turbo off? and just run it as a non turbo??? or should i ditch the 180sx idea????


(driftking777's 180/240sx (a fine example))
just incase you guys dont know what im talking about (in aus there called 180sx in us there called 240sx)

it would probably be hard b/c of tuning and compression. Not worth it, just get a beater and save money until you can buy one in a year or so. That way you would have more money to buy an even better one when the time comes

Yeah, there's a reason for not letting little kids have turboed cars.

omg that is so true i didnt know that wow 2 minds blown lol

[assad_l]

so just stick with a non turbo supra???
or look harder for a sr20de and then buy a conversion kit???

[driftking777]

im flattered

[mynismo]

you can always relocate the turbo behind the firewall or something...

:P

just buy a damn beater, then when you dont have your permit buy a freaking 180 mate. Its seriously not that hard of a concept to figure out. Or you could do the non turbo thing then turbo it. Its all up to you on what you think is best. I mean whats it to wait a year and save up money to get what you want when you are legal to have it. Id save save save then buy when able.

mynismo:
i wish but if i got caught i wouldnt be driving that car for a while!

chuki_breath:
man its not that easy what about street cred its my first car man and i want people and my mates to be like damn thats nice not cracking up at me. a supra was going to get me alot of street cred a 180 is enuf cred for me but now im thinking about buying an s13

(dont know what you guys in us call them)
well with the s13 for the cred i want im going to hav to do some mods to it (exhaust, air filter, ecu, good system, good shocks, rims, maybe bodykit bit too ricer for me tho) that should have me covered until im a fully qualified mechanic (on my 1st year out of 4 years) then when im earning 1g a week then i can get into some serious mods or save for a 180sx or supra.
****NOTE****
known for one of best savers in australia so saving for 20-25 weeks to save up 15-20g (price of supras and 180s in aus) shouldnt be a problem.

...And just when I thought my brain couldnt get anymore blown he kicks down the door with this awesomeness.



I vote to keep the Supra since so far the only Austrialian I've seen that managed to not turn their S-Chassis into a rice shit box is Kennedy with his S13.4

[driftking777]

Street Cred...wow...thats good...i wish i had some of that...wait...i dont care becuase if i like my ride...then f*&% everyone else...even if i dont like my ride...it still gets me from point A to point B. This coming from a guy that has a widebody 240, RX7 project, raised up Ford F250, and a lumina...(sigh) i hate luminas. <---the wifey's car

[assad_l]

The only problem there is with a supra is im going to have to get a loan so im earning bout $230 a week $100 off the car $50 petrol $20 for food that leaves $50 a week to save for mods and go out, with an s13 i can save about 8g in about 8 months and buy it outright or i can save 5g and get a loan for 3or4g and pay the loan off quick but if i was going to get a supra i was going to get a loan for 10g.

now you tell me waht you would do if you cared about wat car you have.

[240SXSlideStar]

Don't get a loan for the car, get an old beater and save up and pay the turboed 180 cash when you find it.

[R.W.240]

Uhhh... if you have to get an N/A car why dont you get a car that doesnt suck N/A, like a S2000 or something?


Or get like a VIP Sedan or something since you seem more concerned about balling around and having people sackride you.
