Still don't know which car to buy.

Should it be the Audi A4 1.8T Quattro (with quattro kit), denim colour with the RS4 18" wheels?

Or

This baby…Toyota supra RZ-S Twin Turbo?
She's the 6-speed manual.

Both around the same money. I know the tax is a bitch on the supra, but still...

Which one would yeah go for? Comfort or a bit of power?

2 completley different cars for 2 completely different people unusual for someone to consider these 2 cars togther, the surpra would be my choice a couple yrs ago but now i'd go for the audi due to the understated looks 90% of people wont take a 2nd look at it and the comfort of it, the supra has it plus points, will be a lot faster in the real world i dont know how much faster running costs will be double or more.

to be honest if you considering an audi you'd be better off lookin at an s4

i wouldn't pick the audi but out of that choice i would go with it, even tough it not as nice a car to drive i just dont like to be noticed, idelly i'd pick a c36 m3 or s4 the performance of a supra without the attention

the point i'm trying to make is the supra will be faster nicer to drive etc, but i'd happily take the compromise in the audi so as not to draw attention

3 litre TT RWD v 1.8 T 4wd - supra all the way, and the audi ain't going to be cheap on fuel either when its 4wd

I'd go with the one that's more likely to start when you put petrol in it. It might be the slower one and have less guzzumph, but that's not what you need if you need to get to work on a damp morning.

Wouldn't be for work, or going to and from, but if it was the supra would have no problems starting in the mornings. Had the same in the non turbo
and the only thing that ever went was the clutch. (obvious reasons).

Might leave it go for another year. If i don't get a bike back on the road, i'll lose my no clams.

'Tis two years till you lose it, yeah?

i can't believe you of all people is considering getting a 1.8T piece of shit european car. - you be disgusted with it, and yourself within a week of buying it. supra - you know you want it.

I know fella, letting the side down.
I think i'll let it go till next year so i can get a bike on the road again.

I normally rush into buying a car and end up changing it again after a year, that's if I haven't changed it before that. I'm as bad with bikes. Changed bikes about 9 times there in one year.

Black would be sweet, but a bit harder to find, most altezzas I see are white like most jap imports. A black would be different, you hardly see that many black lexus's not to mind altezzas.

I'm thinking fuck the Supra.

No warranty on it like. I'd be rightly fucked if anything went wrong.

Now looking at the Altezza IS 200.

So now it's Audi A4 1.8T or the IS 200.

I'm unreal when it comes to buying a car.

Was looking at two today. If i go with the IS 200, what colour. It looks

sweet in both white AND black.

White or black, white or black...AHHHHHHHHH!

why would you need a warrantly? seriously like if the boost is running at a normal pressure you won't have problems you here of problems with people bringing in drift spec cars allright but they are not running anywhere near standard boost. at the end of the day have you ever used a warranty, im guessing you service you motor yourself - do you realise that this null and voids any warranty? i'd say if the supra is a clean well running car when you go view it/ test drive it then go for it. sure you need a warranty if it was a french car but a toyota - no chance, all you need to do is give it a good and proper look over make sure the rubber seals didn't rot on the boat on the way over. it ain't that hard to check like.

Boost controller fitted to the car!
Anyone selling it on, IS going to turn the thing up to fuck but i know what you're saying. It's the cost of running the thing too. The non-turbo i had was bad enough.

Did yeah see there's a turbo altezzas for sale on the Auto Trader?
The thing is sick i'd say. €23,000 i think for a 1998.

Warsaw in 3 weeks time. I'll see after that.

motor just got NCt'd absolutely no problems . nah not changing it for at least a year i'd say, also maybe looking into putting a blitz supercharger in it pretty much one of the only semi affordable things i could do with it. anything else and you are talking seriously big money but that could have problems in its own right - was in limerick looking into it your man said that they had feirce problems doing it to the 20v corrolla - after a rwd conversion the wheels were spinning in the tyres - maybe i should just save for a GTR

Fitting a super-charger to your car would be sweet, but you don't need me to tell yeah the problems you'll have down the line. Gearbox, diff, bottom end bearing etc etc…

You'd get the older GTR for handy money. €12,000, or up over €20,000 for the 96 model. Save your money I'd say. The engine in the GTR is built strong enough to cope with 500 bhp. Do a bit to the engine after a while when you get a few more € together.

hahaha 8 lads going with us so we ain't going to be sightseeing - well guess that depends on what your idea of scenery is.

Yeah was kinda thinking that allright that crowd would have done the whole lot for just under 5k , imght just go to trackday performance for a little increase in power instead

Anyone here drive a VW Golf, GT TDI?

Drove a 02 one today and thought it was nice with a bit of poke.
Also good mpg.
130 bhp which comes with a chip to bring 130bhp to 160bhp or there abouts.

Good money which is driving me towards buying it.

Well, anyone driving one?

Aw for fucks sake - you sound just like one of those spanners actually if you buy this deisel with its red I's and then completely null and void the warranty saying its almost fast - its a golf - golfs are shit and slow - despite what bhp figures they produce they are too heavy - they aren't set up for the speed - they are still slow as fuck, after a remap that null and voids your warrenty they can go boom.

Seriously if you want a car with poke get one don't try and say get this not so quick car and if you do this to it... bla bla bla .

if i hear one more person going on about remapping deisels i swear to god.

The chip is out, nice poke in it still biy.
I'll be doing a lot of driving when i get it like so would like to get a diesel.
Running costs in a GTR or the likes wouldn't work.
At least with something like this, its a case of buying and drive.

if the chip is out would you not have to get it remapped? i mean if you take an induction kit out you need a remapp just to make sure everything is working correctly - personally i'd never buy a modified car - if might have had the chip in and never been remapped which could result in knocking.

It's the same story with the new Leon FR. The diesel has exactly same 0-62 time as the petrol. And it's probably got better pull through the gears too.
