Coz it came with the wife :D

Love em both and wouldnt swap either for any amount. But I know if I bought a Ferrari I wouldn't have to worry with foreplay. Would I Marie?

ill let u in on the secret on why we love our cars so much, its because most of us here have spent that much money on our starions that we are forced to love em`. we cant sell them other wise we can see our selves losing thousands...hmmm i must admit there are plenty of cars i would of taken over the starion...reason why i chose the starion was because it was affordable, but that soon changed after about 3 months...

hmm lets see jap cars i would choose over starion narrow....- starion widebody, mazda familia gtr, nissan pulsar gti-r, r31 skyline coupe,ma70 supra...

hmmm muscle cars

- crysler by chrysler coupe 360, VIP, charger..nice ones.... hmmmm american, hemi cuda, cudas, road runners, dodge chargers, challengers, gtx, satellite, furys...hmmm dunno if i missed anything

mmm, pretty much the same as me...

if i could afford a better car then i would probably buy one... which is my big dilemma... cos im at the point now where i either A: have to spend several thousand dollars to get my staz the way i want it or B: save those dollars and buy something else, that is either factory fast ie GTS-T or similar, or an old classic. (i have a bit of a soft spot for old falcons)

theres a gts-t for sale round the road, all original bar exhaust but auto, for $4500... but every man and his dog seems to have R32s.

:x

don't know why I love it, but I can honestly say that if money was NOT an issue, I would fully restore it & give it a 400hp motor, I think it's because no one knows what the F@!$ they are, I like to drive something that not everyone drives... if that makes sense. :roll:

I think thats a JZA70 isn't it? which is what decoy wants aswell. I wouldn't mind one, 1jz in the best looking supra.

While im here, if money was no object id find an original 4wd Cordia and dump a evo3 engine in it (and convert the running gear to evo if possible).
That would shock the hell out of anyone as you do a 4 wheel burnout of the lights in a cordia :pimp

Every 2nd car is a Skyline in NZ, don't see why you would want one. Most people that like them are 14 year boys who play too much Gran Turismo, or 14 year old girls that know how to spot one by the pineapple ring lights.

You were talking about getting an old GTO, so you clearly have an apprecation of class, forget skylines! Unless you get a reeeeal old one. They're classy.

and still not a common car!

phuket! gimme that rallywing i photochopped! i wonder how much that hybrid would cost to make considering there's only 5 gullwings and goodluck trying to get a 4wd starion! :D then again... the rally staz is a narrowbody... and the gull is wide... so can't put the wings on the rally one... how the hell would you retrofit the rally front on a widebody! yeh, big $$ there... then chucking the drive gear in there... wheels wouldn't match the widebody guards, so gotta adapt the 4wd onto the widebody drivetrain... easy

it has a 1JZ? i think perhaps the 1989 still has the MA70 but the 1992 has the 1JZ

late 89 had the first jza70 i beleive, went to 92 until the new model, JZA80 took over with the 2JZ. the JZA70 is still an MA70, but it took over the 2litre twin turbo version and sold simultaniously with the 7m version. or something along those lines
