What car to save for ?

You need at least $1,000 USD in the bank at all times just in case something goes wrong or breaks. Plus insurance is a !@#$% problem I'm 23 been driving for 2-3 yrs. (lived in philly mass transportation so need for a license plus was lazy in high school) and my insurance dropped at 23 now I pay $1,660 USD per/year and I have no tickets or accidents on my record. Not sure if it's worth keeping at this time but I will definitely be owning for years to come if not now later.

P.S.
just some advice if you get one never take it to a Mazda dealership to be fixed the charged me $2,500 USD for parts I didn't need (i.e. highest grade tires available, charging me for work I could do myself).

Sorry about length of thread :silly2:

you ideally need 1000 in the bank for any car

damn that suck 2,500 if you didn't ask you should complain and complain and then tell mazda about the poor service they can kiss goodbye to their mazda license

no seriously S15 is what i'm saving for and i worked out how much it would cost including car and all the parts i want to get for it

51,961.42 pounds which is about $84,047.05

That seems a tad... expensive :huh:

yah, you are talking about a Silvia right?

What's the power on the SilviaR?

if you're talking about the S15, then it's 247hp.

i prefer the idea that its 250hp and it also comes with a 6 speed gearbox

you might prefer the idea that it's 250, but as much as you say to yourself that it's 250, it will always still be 247...can't change the facts, dood.

This calls for a K&N air filter :hehehe:

So what exactly is that car in you sig there, Iketani?

glad you asked, CBass. that would be a 1992 Nissan Laurel C33, tuned completely in drift spec by Ken Works tuning shop in japan, riding on 18 inch Advan RG wheels and i think this one has an SR20DET swapped into it boasting over 300hp. it can be seen competing in the Japanese D1 Drifting Championships (or at least it could last year, not sure if it's in the comp this year). (the reason it's missing it's front valence: drifted into the gravel and ripped it off. that's drifting for you.)

I saw the post about the Capri, I think the one they are talkin about is this one .. 79-86 models, with a 5.0 or a 2.3, or 2.3T here in the states .. not sure about the overseas model ...

completely different to the English Ford Capri then which is and was and always will be crap

There is a list of my Chosen car: Silvia S15 Spec R

in the Silvia forum under Nissan if anyone is interested.

Altho i did quit my job and my 3400 is soon to become 3200 after this last weekend where i bought too much alcohol and poured alot of it on the floor
