well today i took my car to advan and the tuning shop on the corner had this 180 outside it, as i walked past i saw it had the round tail lights but when i got to the front it took me a moment to work out what it was, A S15 200SX front with a kit as well which looked very nice and wicked :D

Damn you then! :D :D :D

Oh well, I'm saving my arse off this year, as I've postponed uni and do nothing but work and go out so hopefully I'll have a S15 or Supra by the end of this year/early next year (Fingers VERY FIRMLY crossed) :D

I dont want to even imagine what the insurance would be for a 19 year old driving a $35,000 TT Supra. I think I'll save myself the heart attck and just get a N/A (Hopefully!)

you have the truth of it sn00p!!

they arent much faster than an NA silvia. yeah they look hot. but in all honesty they are a show pony.

but if you have your heart set on one, then get one! lol

but if you want speed, stick with your 180, or trade on an good condition/low kays S15.

I know they're all show, but hey, they look hot as hell!

They're also reasonably priced for a 1994 model (about $22-25k) where as a S15 starts at $32k for an early model, and the insurance is much more. I'll be at uni by the time I get another car, so I wont have the income to pay for the high insurance, let alone mods! But hey... I might just wait a while, get a SR20 to replace my CA18 and wait for my NCB to allow me to get a S15. :D

Stupid insurance! :D

N/A Supras do actually go pretty well, and with a zorst, filter, and some tuning they make 200+kw (at the flywheel).

They'll do it all day every day too with no reliability issues.
