if you want a decent cheap car with potential then get an r31 skyline or a bluebird or something like that. There are plenty of rwd toyotas with the goods too ke70 rolla, celicas etc.

Don't be bound by the fwd lol you will enjoy a rwd with 1/4 the power way more than you will enjoy a turbo fwd

I had a cordia, definitely quicker and better handling than an n12. but the torque steer was much worse.

My dad drove my cordia when he had his exa and re-stated that he wished he had the extra money for the Cordia when he bought the exa.

one thing to be careful of with cordia's is they fold up like alfoil in a crash (but n12s do too....)

I had my stock cordia showing 220kph (on the track of course). no mod's. not et or exa will do that in stock trim.

They look fucken miles better too.

I like the fastback two-door body style... my uncle had one, but I can't remember if the back seats folded down

Too big

Too old

There's a 4WD drivetrain for the Cordia too... even though I'm told it's like rocking-horse shit...

what about a rear wheel drive Cordia, a Starion Turbo? you can't get more 80's than that!

You poor bastard, i know the feeling. I bought my first et and about a month after i found the boot was rusted out so bad that when trying to see if it still had some strength in it i put a hole through the boot floor

I bought a cordia about 2 yr ago, and on the test drive the front passanger wheel flew off down the road and took out the rear door of a new falcon lmao. The guy told me he had busted a couple of guys trying to steal it from the front of his house and they must have come back and undone the wheel nuts, i thought that was BS and bought the car anyway at 1/3rd of the asking price lol.

The rust in the boot wasn't quite fall through but it won't be long till it gets that way, wreckers wanted 500 foor a replacement floor but that to had a few rust spots.

Oh well, i'll just have to see how the car hunting goes. I spotted a 5L commodore wagon for $1500 so that might have to be my next option

Thanks Android, but i think i'll go with a commodore for now and invest in another ET or EXA soon. I recently lost my job so i need another one before i start any more projects.

That's funny. Actually you're constantly investing hard earned dollars in them, you just get dick for a return. Even better off with shares in a shit market. Oh well, our choice.
