my first baby

[branc12]

dear all zth sifu and seniors

as i am a newbie and now hunting for my first car
i'm looking at a budget of 50-60
something that can play a bit of mod. and comfy

nothing too old but still 'in'
my personal opinion is a second hand v6 or civic 'tai ngan chai'

if anyone got any other opinion or critism bout v6 or civic
please do....i dont wan to get a wrong car as my first

 

[thteh86]

get an EK9, but maybe outta your budget though... Or get a normal EK 4 doors....honda is still better than proton

 

[ahmadalbabbb]

yeahhhhh.....

HONDA.... HONDA.. HONDA.....

power of dreams.......

 

[branc12]

yea true ek9 too much for me to handle
besides tai ngan what else u reckon?

i'm also targeting on something like b16a
definately no city or vios
too family...cannot play too much
if not waste

Buy a 2000 Putra for RM4+k. With the extra cash, modify the car to your heart's content. It's good to have a local car as your first car, as parts come cheaper and problems can be easily solved without too many hassles. Cheers...

Toyota Corolla SEG@AE101...
hehe... :D

 

[boggysv]

corolla!!!

 

[thteh86]

don't drive....drift....get yourself a TRUENO levin AE86 for around 30k, then mod 99... ;)

 

[branc12]

i dunno whats AE101 all i know bout SEG is that
theres the 'big ass' and 'small ass' which 1 is it?
but what kinda mod can be done on those SEG?
easy to play around with?

proton by far i find easiest to mod and cheapest
but anyhow....no offence its proton
putra 2000 ? i heard got some problem with that batch
true?
i'm definately up for doing some mod. performance wise

Toyota cars is cheapest to mod as parts are flooding from japan but demand are small..
Try compare parts at chop shop.. u will find parts for toyota at 1/2 pricr than parts for Wiras equivalent

 

[Master D]

Corolla!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Quite a bit of mods available, not too pricey and not too old.....

In terms of mods, are you going with NA or Forced Induction?

:)

Try compare parts at chop shop.. u will find parts for toyota at 1/2 pricr than parts for Wiras equivalent [/b][/quote] proton cars r modded by using mitsu parts basically... although the SEG is older than the putra or watevr new proton but in terms of quality n reliability i tink the SEG is stil better... u try to drive that 2 cars for a week u will know la... :D proton cars either new or old also very fast u can get squeaking sounds. but i dun tink tat will happen to the SEG wic is older than 2000 putra... ;) n toyota is easy to mod also la...parts r not that rare n expensive compared to mitsu parts. u can go NA, supercharged or turbocharged wif toyota... :rolleyes: i stil c TRD n TOM's producing parts or SEG sometimes. :rolleyes: most important is toyota cars r less problematic than mitsu cars a lot n i tink tat applys to proton as well bcoz they're mitsu based cars. ;) wif this u can save a lot for the maintenance part.

 

[ckw86]

fiat coupe!! yeayea...
But pls change the colour if it's yellow

 

[branc12]

yea i do agree when it comes to reliability any car but proton

master D....i plan to keep it low profile and n/a
i plan to do it up slowly and try to learn my car
what i wan in a car is..
when i'm in the mood then 'carp' a few corners
have a lil feel of good power and play around

somethin not too old...afterwards my parents go like
wtf....spend 40+ 50+ buy one 8-10 year old junk
might as well u go and buy a wira

u know how parents are...
so i guess its gonna be close
honda vs. toyota

 

[branc12]

fiat coupe?
i like...but then not practical leh
maintenance gonna cost a lot i assume
and then a bit out of budget rite?

Thanks to all the replies!

 

[L2TurboFool]

honda civic

 

[3G's]

Go gEt uRself a '97 civic 1.6 Vtec 4 door modeL....aka "BiG Eye"
it's worth and maybe suits uR budGet as well..hehe

If U R loOking for a 2 doOr model,maybe a Putra will do.
It's noT more than 40k whaT!...loTs of mod can be done...

JusT a suggestions as U requested..noThing much...cheeRs ;)

 

[guest18]

nissan cefiro a31 aka apollo is your best choice

cheap around like under 35k with 60 k budget you can mod it alot
can out-run most car on the road already by then

 

[crystal_method]

with that money i'd go buy a silvia if i wanted maximum style with some power... i think it's a real damn cun car yo! some more it's running on the SR20, plenty of power in there man, engine fuckin pulls like a mad dog man. handling is superb, i've tested and driven many times, handling of the nissan silvia is top-class. OR if ur all out for MAXIMUM POWER y don't u get a a31 cefiro with skyline engine inside?? if u get the RB26 ones i think can find for around RM37K? if ur lucky u may get the RB26 GTR V-SPEC versions... damn cun power. looks not so nice la hehe and the cefiro is a mile long and rather old (mostly year 89-93) but handling is bloody good too! damn, just imagine, ur driving a F.CKING SKYLINE R-34 ENGINE only it's in a different body, not so satisfying i know but at least the power's there! and it'll save u RM200K in terms of buying the REAL skyline hehe!

i think the EK9 is nice too but ya i think it's pretty expensiv la... cheapest modded one i've seen wit type-r engine and bodykit's around RM60K?? but still, very very sporty too!

 

[lozo]

take a peek on r3..looks very 'promising' :lol:

i suggest your baby would be an EK4/9, A31, 146 ti, or an evo3

just sharing what i have in mind.
