Hey Guys,
I have a brother due for his L plates in a week or two, and he needs a car to learn in... cos no way is he driving dads Boosted SAAB or my VS.
Any suggestions for a Bunky first car?
And anyone got one for sale? preferably Manual...
*heads over to for sale section*

Hahaha Jase mate i ain't buyin anything more than a match box for the little sh*t.
Although i thought a Gemini was a pretty good go. He reckons he wants a Combi but no way...
Anyway thanks for the suggestions guys.

Get a mistsubishi sigma, rear whell drive, 5 speed, cheap to buy, cheap to run , cheap to fix. My first car was a GK GSR - didn't have a straight panel.

17-09-02, 22:08 GMT+10#11 Atzoid mate its a 1992 Saab 9000 2.3L Turbo.
There are only a couple of little mods like taken from stock boost to 7 Pound (i think), and high flowed turbo. It needs to have the Zorst opened up a bit but she still goes pretty quick.
It runs a Garret Turbo but i'm not too sure of the model.
A little while ago the wastegate was playing up and when it came on boost i was giving it heaps of boost rather than just the little bit. Thats been fixed now.
Was there anything else ya wanted to know about it?>

04-10-02, 19:37 GMT+10#12 DEFINATELY the gemini! A 1975 two-door. They look insane, but i guess you wont be putting good rims on it and dumping it on its arse...but seriously, there's some guy in Fast Fours - July 2002, and he's done one up nicely, and if you ask me it looks wicked.
If my car ever turned into a project, and was up in the garage with my R33 GT-R, id definately do up a gemini to drive around in...12.9 second pass wouldnt be bad either...
