what car next??

Post by Pato »

hey guys, ive been thinking about upgrading cars, as much as i love my car which is A LOT, ive got the boost bug. cant really decide on what to get, ive narrowed it down to either a S15 or a R34 gt-t. what do you guys recon?? im in no rush to get a new one, cant part with mine just yet, but if any of you guys no of anyone looking for a fto please let me no! its a white 96 GPX manual, version R body kit, leather int, lowered, black zigen 18s, front strut brace, dual exhaust, rpw extractors, ARC intake and heat shield, unichip, heavy duty clutch, de-badged looks real clean. Cheers guys

I would personally go with a S15 and put a body kit on it! I dont rate them standard, but a mate at work has one with a bodykit. Looks insane. Just trying to think which kit he has on it!

How much are you selling your FTO for? any pics? dont suppose u want to swap your version R rear spoiler for GPX one and some $$$$

here is the car i was gonna buy before i saw a local fto for sale. E-mailed the dude to see it and get it checked by RACQ and never got a reply.

Overall im happy with the FTO over this one but, damn the lancer is sexy all kitted up like that. all i woulda haveta done is turbo/supercharge the beast and i woulda been happy.

mmmm I was leaning toward the s15 to, real sleek looking, like a cat kinda, but i saw a nice r34 on car sales, its a red 98 3" exhaust, lowered guages, timer, and a bride front driver seat, with only 32,000 on the clock for 28,000! Real nice!!!! and theres nothing better that the sound of a boosting skyline with a exhaust!!!! bliss.
I would love to get an evo, i really like the lancers, ive owned 2, its kind of a soft spot for me, so an evo would be SWEET. I subscribe to HPI and there was an add for a 2004 EVO 8 RS with the little shark teeth on the back top for only 41,990!!! couldnt believe it, but thats realy stretching my budget by more than 10,000. want bout 16500 for mine, ive got photos of it but i cant host them, if theres anyone willing to put them up for me that would be great!!!! dont no what to get so im not going to rush in, dont want to end up regretting my decision!

Subaru Liberty before 3.0R....

Wolf in sheeps clothing... especially if you yank the twin turbo setup off the 2 litre & jam it on the 3 litre - which has a 6 speed maual box behind it :D
