Corona RT142 Forums Junkie Location: Campbelltown Registered: November 2003	Re: What to buy? Tue, 13 September 2005 10:59 And what a great post that was to . Seriously i need something different and i will need to start spending $$$ on the rona soon ie Timing chain valve stem seals and maybe fix the small rust spot on the boot. I can't be bothered to do this so i want a new car that and i want something new and just something different. The car has served me well for the 2 and a bit years i have owned it i have learnt a lot especially about light rwd cars with live rear axles and the absolence of traction in the wet but its time to move on. For its age the car is in pretty good condition its just that I want something that i can actually modify. Sure i could do something like a 1ggte conversion etc but essentially its still a 20 year old shit box that moves quick and seeing other ppl try and sell theres after the $$$ they have put in is disappointing. Atleast modding a newer car its still gonna worth a bit more when it comes to sell it which wouldn't be for another 5-8 years hopefully. The other thing is i don't have a huge amount of time maybe one day off a weekend to spend building a car up and whilst fairly mechanically minded there is no way i could do a conversion without a lot of help or spending money for someone else to do it for me. I'd prefer to start off with a fresh base with a car that handles well from the start and with a stock engine that actually has aftermarket parts relatively available. (Arguably the 22re does but its never gonna rev alot and it costs a lot of money to buildup). Many ppl have travelled the 4age path befor so this is one motor that i'd be willing to have a crack at. I'm determined to stay NA just cos it appeals to me more (i am also not a fan of turbo FWD cars). Sure i could make more power by banging a turbo on the side but its just not the same. I wouldn't mind something like a rolla sportivo but the main issue i see with them is they are a little more expensive which means it'd be longer befor i could start working the motor and they are quite heavy for their size. One of the other FWD's that appeals to me is the renault clio sport light weight 2.0L na motor the only problem being that aftermarket parts are quite rare and those that are available are very expensive, plus being french (reliability and supposed awkward seatign postion wards me off). If i were to get a rwd car i'd have no qualms in getting a turbo and would preferably get a car with a factory turbo motor ( less work involved in mods and far more reliable than turboing a NA motor).
