Well this thread is abit pointless. So Ill add my poinless story =p
the reasoning behind me buying my sprinter.
If i had $100,000 i would buy a gtr, simply because they are my fav car and have been since i was like 8years old and I saw them at bathrust in 91 (hence my name) beating down v8's.. (since i was surrounded by bogans growing up I was lead to believe that a v8 commo was the best car on the planet =p) to me there is something about smaller capacity cars beating down what is regarded by the ignorant majority as king and ive grown up on that principal. I also loved the rariety of skylines.. say back in 1995/96. I remember seeking 1or2 a fortnight and drooling.
fast forward to a year and a half ago. looking for my first car, small budget.. wanting a daily driver but also a project car to slowly build up. basically what cars are there out there fitting this description... seriously. you could possibly go a twinky ae82 which i was considering but i really dont like the fwd platform + a car needs potential... lol. Im really not into ur gemi's and so forth (anything pre mid 80's aint my taste). A car I saw with potential was the nx-r.. sr20 for $7k (but evan that was out of my initial purchase budget) Also I was thinking a 206 but meh.
to cut a long story short, downloading a gtr circuit video one day i stumble across a file called 2x ae86 vs r34gtr circuit.. Yeh the r34 driver was dodge but I was more concentrating on how the hachi's moved. Reminded me of oversized gokarts =p So I thought I'd look into them.
So after a fair bit of research (hey i was originially a nissan boy, forgive us for not know they existed. heh) I pretty much found my platform. A 900kg car with 50/50 weight distrib, rwd. Perfect. The car has great potential (i mean cmon its been used in rally and circuit work with pretty cool results for awhile) and also I see it as a plus that they are rare in Australia.
Rust? schmust... if your willing to put time and money into a car (any car) you can make it great. slowly but surely.....
rant over.
I do agree however that $3-4k for a stock 4ac is crazy. But then again I didnt pay that =p
And my word on 'Initial d'. Its a cartoon for christs sake, A good one, I enjoy it. It has a cool story and is well played out. Those that want to pigeon whole anyone with a sprinter as a takumi can get stuffed. And those that want to be takumi's thats cool with me, do what you want.
