Hello, I'm new to the Street Racer World and have become quite interested in its activities and what not. I live in New Zealand near a town called Masterton, we have had some problem with Boy Racers (Thats what we call you guys here) "Sorry". I currently drive a Stock Holden Comodore Berlina 2.0L its nothing compare to you guys cars but it gets me round.
I am thinking of purchasing a Nissan Skyline 2.5 or above, any hints on what I should be looking for in the Skyline range? From 1990-1995. I am looking for a car that has street apeal and can GO if it wants to.
I currently race, well not really race, just have fun on Friday's going to a long open road and Speed testing our cars to 170 kmph then I had to slow for a corner. The car is a 3 spd Auto with Over drive.
Most of my friends cars are 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 and a 2.4.
Do you think I should get Manual or Auto again?
Most of the cars around Masterton are Skyline's, Primera's, Civic's and Subaru's. There roughly round 2L+, do you think I would have a chance if I purchased the Skyline?
Thanks for your help.
P.s. Im not a little Boy racer wanna-be, to many of my friends have been killed due to drinking and speed, I just want to go to these events and have some sensible fun.
