marcs_sp20 · 29-11-2009, 11:37 PM

Sucks to hear dude

Turbo'd 4wd hatches I'd choose from:

Subaru WRX hatch
Pulsar GTiR
Mazda Familia GTX or GTR

Brisbane_boy · 30-11-2009, 01:03 AM

unlucky man, that no good.

yer as marc said,
u got the WRX to consisder, (looks are personal, also harder to work on boxter engine)
The GTiR, (always blowing gearboxes)
Familia (never knowen anybody with one so duno there down side).

wat about a RVR. still got a 4G63 engine.
wat about euro they have some AWD hatches

Sorry to hear about the accident, I hope that you and yours are all ok.

I have always liked WRX's but only the '99-'00 version and the most recent styling.

Cheers.

Mc_Nuggets · 30-11-2009, 12:51 PM

my mate already has a rex and i was gunna buy an rvr hyper before the astina but its just too much looking like a family car, but i like the sanded recaros in it. also on the hyper its too hard to work on coz there is much space to get your hands in there to work on it.

like wat?

my eye is still on the caldina

project.r.racing · 30-11-2009, 01:09 PM

if you can get the gt4 version, then go for it. but if you cannot, i wouldn't bother.

nothing like a little 1zz pulling around a heavy wagon to kill the passion.

don't forget it wont be a wrx killer, as it is outdated technologies inside it.

I've never seen a non-turboed Caldina here, and I don't think a 1ZZ would've been around prior to 1999 in Japan.
A 196kW 3SGTE might be old by design, but it still lays the smack down in performance AND fuel economy!

the one in the pic lookslike a 2002-2007 mid 05 update version to me. they were all autos also. dunno if this is a good pic for a cruze car. imagine if you had to fix some panels.

chicaboo · 30-11-2009, 01:52 PM

Yeah, no 1ZZ in the previous shape, but I haven't seen a non-turbo in the 3rd gen either. They look pretty sick for a wagon, so you'd still have to hide the keys from mum.

Gav.

Mc_Nuggets · 02-12-2009, 07:31 PM

i still got the fog lights if any one wants them

Mc_Nuggets · 07-12-2009, 03:40 AM

well i was thinking if i get a caldina insurance is going to be sky high. (can't even get a online quote) so i was thinking wat should be more suitable to buy eg: parts = easy to find.

Tell me wat you guys think.

1973 Datsun 1200 DELUXE ( has a Ca18 det in it)

1994 Volkswagen Golf VR6

1999 Mazda Mx-5 NB Series 1

mill_mobile · 07-12-2009, 06:18 AM

Golf for sure!

RustyKaos · 07-12-2009, 07:16 AM

Personally not a fan of the datto. The golf is kinda cool. The MX5 would probably be my choice in there as they are just fun to drive.

-dc- · 07-12-2009, 09:06 AM

definately the mx5 for sure! thats not a bad looking one u put up there, nice and low!

chicaboo · 07-12-2009, 09:12 AM

Hey Faruk,

Just buy what appeals to you. You don't get extra style points for bowing to pier pressure. This feels like your GF picking out your clothes...

Did that model of Golf come with cardigan/vest and smoking pipe holders?
