Fuck cars. What you need is a sportbike. Pro tip: if it doesn't have at least 2 "R"s in the name, it's not fast enough.










jokes. Buy a Civic.

Do not buy 300zx or fd rx7 lol. Those guys are messing with you. buy a honda.

As the saying goes, "reliable, cheap, fast -- pick 2"

IMO, a far more appropriate approach to this would be "reliable, cheap, and feels fast". Lots of cars would fit into this category, with the prime examples being Civics, Integras, RSX, Miata, etc.

I'm new to Revscene and looking to get my first car and wondering what's a reliable and cheap Japanese car, left hand drive, stock hp at least 200 (does not have to be) and must be manual. under 150k km would be nice. price range $3000-11000.

any help is appreciated

thanks

location: vancouver

:ohgodwhy:

seriously just buy a point A to B car first. corolla, civic, whatever...you want over 200hp...go play GT5 :troll:

That's because even though they were awesome cars, not too many people were willing to spend $50,000+ on a Honda at the time. Some repairs can get expensive, too. The tranny on my Legend coupe cost over $3000 to repair, and they had to source the housing from Ontario.

buy my skyline r33 gts-25t has 250 and just in the middle of the price range.

GabAlmighty 08-20-2012 08:24 PM

Miata

Iceman_2K 08-20-2012 08:30 PM

1991 Corolla sedan in blue.

twitchyzero 08-20-2012 08:32 PM

buy this RSX SS edition
2002 Acura rsx.

it's got the Motown conversion...trust me you don't want to follow that JDM fad because it's so last century.

Tim Budong 08-20-2012 09:52 PM

i wonder sometimes... what its like to have mommy+daddy give monies for cars....

it was a privilege to be able to drive the family volvo...

and when we traded it for an audi, i ended up paying for it

1exotic 08-20-2012 11:34 PM

Lotus Elise

You can pick up an s2000 for $12,000. Cheap, reliable, fast enough.

ThatKoukiKid 08-21-2012 12:42 AM

Get a miata, japanese, fast(cornering), cheap, reliable. or your options are to buy a off the classified section on bc240(BCrwd) :troll:

320icar 08-21-2012 01:24 AM

I have a miata. STAY THE FUCK OUT OF OUR CHASSIS! The last thing the miata needs is its already gay pseudo dragged in the mud, by you young street kings. You want a fast supercar imaginabru? Go get a 240. Better yet, just get a car. Some bone stock civic and take some advanced driving courses

Shorn 08-21-2012 02:47 AM

honestly my best advice would be to get a civic for the transportation and a bike for the fun.

there are very few cars that can beat 600cc sportbikes and you save gas with an economy car for when you need more space + seats.
