hi guys, need a quick one. i'm going to come back to kl for good and start my career. Imposible to bring my jazz back, i would sell it and buy a car in malaysia.

I have 3 choices. not too sure on it maybe you guys could give some comment. i left the motorsport scene for ages and now im looking at coming back.

I have a budget of around 40k maybe can stretch to 45k.

with that budget it leaves me with only a few car.


1) 1996 and under satria turbo.

2) satria GTi turbo

3) putra turbo

4) Wira turbo


initially i wanted to play Vtec or na as well, making it good for daily and save on petrol and maintainance as this will be my daily. But wat the heck, screw it.

Turbo is still the way to go, i still find it impressive and will keep me bz for a while.


Here's the scenario. an average satria turbo will cost between 23-36k depending on condition and satria GTi turbo and putra turbo will cost around 10k more .

i've driven all 3 cars and well, my personal feel is that GTi and putra has a stiffer , tighter chasis. maybe because of the recaro also, but do you think its worth it to pay 10g more to get putra or GTi ?? since its all converted, power is the same, just want to know if it is worth it to get a stiffer body ??

what would you think ?

I would just drive the car As is. So something reasonable is good. i'll most prob throw in ajustable suspension and upgrade my brakes. but yeah. no engine mods and just daily use. Sometimes some spirited driving also if you know what i mean :)
 
so u wanna a vtec or a turbo charged car by the way? if u add little bit more can get a vtec... hehe... wont regret. ;)
 
its not that i look down on vtec. i've driven a 96 integra type R and a ef8 sir crx and also just normal integra sir-g too

Although the type R dc2 i would say superb on the track, just feel it doesnt have that torque that turbo's got that satisfy me.

The only thing that satisfy me is the sound and exiting corners with the vtec.

given the choice of DC2 i would take it straight away but my budget doesnt allow. dont want to settle for something less, which is like a EG SIR or convert.

i'd rather go turbo then. move kW for my buck.
 
whats the con of a transplanted satria turbo ? next time hard to sell ??

i've owned a lancer GSR and i dump in a 4g63 vr4 engine last time and rojak it . so i can expect what im getting myself into.

The only problem is mine is 4wd tho, dont know how would it feel , a vr4 4g63 on a satria.

Judging by weight and driveline, i assume its major understeer ?? not something a good suspension set up and LSD would not fix
 
cefiro a31 rb20 det.....can eat bmw for breakfast, lunch and dinner........
 
nahh, too old bro.. i need something decent , something presentable .

need to impress mother in law type.

Come back for what ? heheehe.

Better stay there and wait for me to go back there.


I would say my choice would be : 4g63 Satria. or Putra.

Hatchback / Coupe is always my choice in every aspect.
 
If I don't stay with my family then stay in M'sia alone ?

hehehehehe.


Boring is it ? But the cars there is 'HAVEN' tag !

You wanna come back and work ??
