hey ppl,
im having trouble deciding what car to get next...
in this car i want it to look alright, have some power, RWD, and has the potential to have some big power being put into it in the future if i want to.
Im still tossing up the idea of..
* AE86 sprinter -> 4AC = around $3,000
* AE86 sprinter -> 4AGZE = around (including car) $7,000
* VL Commo. -> RB30E = around $3,000
* VL Commo. -> RB20DET = total (including car) $6,000
I dont really want anything older as it will require a respray and my bro is being a faggot and not wanting me to use his compressor now.
The VL has allot of potential but i dunno about that image or the looks of the car... but please make some comments without being biased towards the toyota
thanks Mat

VL common-whore.... P.O.S. this is the car that describes bogan racer wannabe. The chassis of these cars is weak and feble, when compared to the car the engine was made for (R31 skyline). Also just sends out the wrong image. ALso attracts cops, bogan chicks, and bogans. Generally the cars are never well looked after and thrashed to pieces.
You will generally find the interior and paint on these to be of VERY ORDINARY quality. And realistically - you will get FAR more gains with similar $$ spent on the GZE (and better fuel economy)
I'd go the AE86 GZE! If done well, these can be quite a lethal car! Easily flog the pants of a VL turbo. They handle well, look horn, its a toyota, the motor's are built TOUGH and they are just FUN!
If you want to do your own conversion, buy the 4A-C sprinter... but for the extra $4000 i know where i'd be shopping (esp if the GZE has LSD diff, good suspension mods and generally a tidier car)
Plus you can still become a member of Toymods Car Club with a sprinter! 
<EDIT = less comments about bogans and loosers in commodorres>

yea, but the sprinter will cost allot more than say an RB20 VL would... AND theres the prob of trying to source sprinter parts if a GZE shattered a gearbox or diff.

yea, but its gunna cost so much to GZE it
and then it will prolly rip through the gearbox...
oh and would it be too much work to have A/C aswell as the GZE?
