[color=#000000ost_uid9]i know we all love our astinas, but if u could choose any car under the sun, what would it be???
i know if ur anything like me you've probably have a list as long as ur arm, but whats ur ultimate car.


personally mine is a series 6 rx7, converted to a 20B triple rotor, swapping the sequential blowers for a big single turbo setup, with a full veilside bodykit, in red, with big 20s squeezed under the pumped guards.
ahh its good 2 dream. this is followed closely by a R34 GTR, and twin turbo supra
... the next problem is insurance....[/colorost_uid9]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]That RX7 idea sounds waaay cool.

If not that, then a 911 GT2 I guess.

For modifying, an S15 with wide-body kit and ALL the go-fast toys I can lay my hands on.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I've always loved Nissan Silvia's [200sx's] almost bought a 91 Silvia. But i bought my 94 Hardtop... so i just drive my Mates 90' Silvia, haven't driving it since he swapped the engine with a Nissan Skyline Godzilla engine.
Also a big fan of Skylines.

Went to adelaide recently. Sooo many more silvias there than in Sydney.

[color=#FF0000ost_uid0]Ditto.... i said yes to a Silvia, but the guy was waiting on a deposit that eventually came. Silvery-blue (custom, not the reg colour), immaculate 2L, n/a manual. Was quicker than the SP significantly even in the n/a form. That was about 3 and a half years ago, there were a lot less then than now. Parts were hell expensive tho, and i wasnt too fussed on the trim, but other than that it was sweet. I got offered $8000 for the 1.8 1989 model with bodykit and bigger wheels, but wasnt keen on the engine and also the brown interior!
Next I called to say I'd take a 1992 Celica, lowered, simmons alloys, aftermarket spoiler, stereo, 100000kms, absolutley perfect and was only $12500 which was the best deal ive ever seen (again - 3 years ago!). I called two hours after the sign had been put up, and the dude was on a testdrive with someone who had already put deposit on it! Then the XR6.... same story. Still cant go past powerful rwd cars! Then found the Astina for a good price! Good things come to those who wait...

[color=#000000ost_uid0]dream car... probably just a couple... but i'd never bring myself to buy them...

02' E46 M3..... no need for any further explanation.

73' rx3 sedan... 13btt (sVI), single turbo conversion, nice clean stock lines, dark blue, light alloys, full race spec cabin w/out roll bars... somewhere around 300rwhp would be handy.

02 bmw X5 4.6i... black with 20's of course. (for the missus)

fark... all of those total to less than a quarter of your cars... greedy bastards!!

cheers,

Bill[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]like the ones in GT3 on playstation 2. that speed 12 is a crazy peice of machinery.
kyra's M3 idea sounds good, but give me that specially designed and made, lightweight, full alloy engine version, thats like twice the price of the ordinary M3. money well spent[/colorost_uid0]
