At least your roof won't fall off.

how many miles are on it? how much it cost? looks nice.

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #27 on:** August 26, 2004, 02:59:26 PM »

It's done a few kilometers, but less than my 1990 Cressida which is rad, it's around 200,000ish I forget exactly. Also I paid $7500 AUD, which is around $5000 US BUX

So is the car in your name yet?

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #29 on:** August 26, 2004, 06:21:15 PM »

No not yet, come steal it and I don't have a leg to stand on other than yours when I cut it off

That's why it's staying in my driveway behind my other cars

I agree about the s13's they are far too many and i also think that R32's are overrated. Yeah i have a series 5 rx-7 body kit and engine so i guess i have a series 5 but it was an originally a series 4. How much do you think your mods are going to cost??

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #32 on:** August 27, 2004, 04:36:08 AM »

I'm pretty sick of most Nissans, only cause they're so common. I've got around $5-6K to start me off, but all up I expect to spend quite a bit on this car, might even put a new engine it it at some stage, thinking a 2JZ-GTE further down the track.

This year and next I'll probably spend around $10,000 on it.

joeamis · « **Reply #33 on:** August 27, 2004, 04:42:19 PM »

hmm that's alot of kilos, like 160,000 miles. wouldn't you be better off buying a car for like $2000 more, that has like 120,000 miles on it? Especially when you're going to put another $10,000 into the car in the next 2 years? As it is, you'll be lucky for the car to not run into problems by the time it tops 200,000 miles. Drool, the amount of gaming stuff you could buy with that money...

I drive a mini-van. It rocks because I can drive out to the middle of nowhere to watch a meteor shower and then sleep in the back.

What is this trailer park show everyone's talking about? The glass gag sounds funny, and you folk tend to have good taste.

You don't understand, I wanted this particular car, a Toyota Supra. The distance travelled isn't that important to me, I'd be more worried about a car this old with hardly any k's on the clock, means it's sat around doing nothing for a while, which isn't good for cars at all. Also, the engine would only be around 150,000 old at the very most.

Eh I do know you wanted that car. What I'm saying is why not spend like $2000 more on a Supra with less miles on it, that will last you longer and run into less maintenance problems, especially if you're going to put over $10,000 more into the car. I dunno I just don't see spending $17,500 AUD on a car that's not going to last long.

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #38 on:** August 28, 2004, 11:41:52 PM »

Not going to last long? Oh okay. I'll tell that to my cressida with just under 270,000 Km's on it that's still going strong. That's why I'm spending x amount of dollars on it, so it does last longer, there won't be many original parts left on it when I'm done, new breaks, suspension, transmition, exhaust, intercooler, engine at some stage. Once all that's done there isn't much left that can fail due to age.

Also, to get a Supra with less k's I'd have to import one, and I didn't want to go through that hassel just yet.

I'm gonna be looking into buying a new car in 1-2 years time. I'll be on the look out for the Subaru Imprezas, especially the WRX models!

afterall, I am uncle rich!

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #40 on:** August 29, 2004, 03:06:12 PM »

Don't get one of those, get an S15 I rekon, they're nice and not many people have them. Or get a JZA80 :sohot:

evil intentions · « **Reply #41 on:** August 29, 2004, 06:09:41 PM »

Get a corvette.

Shift Key · « **Reply #42 on:** August 29, 2004, 10:31:18 PM »

HUMVEE! HUMVEE! HUMVEE!

Dasmos · « **Reply #43 on:** August 30, 2004, 01:34:29 AM »

These looks nice. But...

...nah, I don't want a sportscar. Most are too small for my tastes. I want a 4-door sedan, thus why I'm interested in the Impreza!

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #45 on:** August 30, 2004, 04:15:42 AM »

...erm, the Imprezza isn't exactly huge Aye Aye. If you want a nice four door sedan... get a Lexus ES300 or a JZX90 / JZX100 both nice cars.

Just because one car lasts long, doesn't insure another will, especially different makes. 270,000 km, that's like only 175,000 miles. At 200,000 miles is generally when you run into trouble. Theres a helluva lot more parts than what you listed, many things you can't change too unless you took the whole car apart down to tiny individual pieces. But with all the things you're changing, you'll have some luck. Hopefully it's worth all the money, it's risky compared to buying a new car with a warranty.

joeamis · « **Reply #47 on:** August 30, 2004, 11:30:15 AM »

The WRX is a great car. It got car of the year by many car magazines, and also best buy for the money. It also has very good performance. Who cares if other people have them, doesn't mean anything. Personally I hate luxury cars (Lexus), all fancy and dancy sh1t for no reason but to look like your rich.

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #48 on:** August 30, 2004, 02:18:28 PM »

You just don't understand. Also, AiAi is rich so he deserves a Lexus.

joeamis · « **Reply #49 on:** September 02, 2004, 05:14:37 PM »

just don't understand lol. would you care to explain why? I stated things that are true, and I said you're in luck. If you really mod the car to hell then it will last a long time. But theres always things that can still happen no matter what.

Um because a person is rich, doesn't mean they deserve anything, that's snob talk.
