I've always wanted an LS 400. They just seem to be pretty rare here in Yurop at least in good condition and at a right price.

89 Toyota Camry it was my first car had close to 300,000 miles on it when I sold it Bitch was indestructible

Heh, my brother still has the '91 Camry he got when he first started driving. It has 480 000 km on it and still no problems with the mechanics. Just catalyzer problems and rust because there is so much road salt here. It's a great car, very spacious too for its outside dimensions unlike modern cars.

Big news: People have beater cars to avoid damage and wear to their other cars, some people don't spend a lot of money on cars and only want pure utility, some people don't go 20 000 bucks into debt to buy a car that is going to be a shitbox with aftermarket tuning parts in a couple of years.

So many choices, but if I could only have one I would be stupid not to get an Rx7 FD3S. I would give reasons why, but there is really nothing that hasn't been said about it.

Other cars I would want, NSX, R32 GTR, Celica GT4, Rx7 FC, Z32 TT, Z31, Silvia S13, Silvia S12 RSX, 323 GTX, 20B Cosmo, ABC Kei cars, and an SW20 turbo. FD is the best of all those, but I would love to own any of them. Fortunately most of those are pretty cheap, so I can buy them right now.

No wrong or right in that. A club is the same as getting fire insurance. You don't need it until there is a fire or in this case someone is looking for a car to steal.
They see the club and then just move on to the next car because there is more hassle.

late 1980s Toyota hilux. just add an old DShK and i am ready for Syria
>>
On topic of old cars, what are the best ways to keep it from being stolen? Add a hidden kill-switch? Remove fuse from fuse box?
One pretty good way to make it look like it just doesn't start is to remove the power to the ECU, all lights will light up, except the CEL and obviously the car won't start.
Any other tricks?

>rx-7 FD3S
sexiest looking car ever made imo.
>KP60 Starlet
pic related... they're pretty much rwd hatch like a lot some others 80s hatches. i just like the look of the kp60 though. i'd get it with a 20v 4age or 3sgte.
kp60 will be what i'll buy and start building as soon as i get a job and money.. hopefully still some decent ones around with non-fucked chassis from drifters/rallyers

>>13839222
i saw a shell (4th gen) for sale, alright condition for 500 aus dollars. the motor or somethings probably fucked but the actually car looked like it was still alright.... still never know without looking in person

sucks because i have no money and sit on computer browsing videos of civics and other cars, wishing i could own one. i just like fast hatchbacks, or cars with short wheelbase and not too wide doesn't matter if fwd, awd or rwd.
4th gen civic is one hatch i want to build to though.
