[Commodore Racing Kid1]

VR 5 speed manuel. or VL 5 speed manuel with engine conversion to a vn or vp later on for future mods? i cant figure out wether to get a 5 speed or 4 speed. i would like to ask for your guys help please. im new to the forums so i hope to get to know you guys for future mods and help to : )

[MikesCalais]

out of those options, i'd go with the vr personally

[BrotherFrank]

yeah, VR sounds the best

[STEALTHY™]

VL with a V6/5 speed conversion would go good. And it wouldn't be like 90% of the other VLs out there which are either turbo or N/A 3Ls

[skruba]

its not in ur options but id try a vp 5spd ftw

[Tom_1569]

VK with a 3.8L and 5-speed conversion.

But if you just want a simple easy first car, go the VR/S

[Philthy]

VR will be a nicer car to drive and less shit will break since its newest

[JBoags]

vk 4sp for sure. Like my baby. http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...3t-my-baby.jpg

VK with an Alloytec + 6 speed (and a charger lol)

[bogan_vk]

vk 4 sp manual great cars but im byast i drive a vk i used to drive a vr brelina and prefer my vk

[Fonzie]

First car is very different to hobby car... If you had a daily, and wanted to drop an alloytec (Or f*** it, drop a stroked LS2 in) and 6spd in sure... But as a first car, go the VR. Keeping your car ON the road is priority #1 at this age.

[LTHL-VP]

while i enjoy my vl and would like to drop a manual gearbox in mine i would say get a vr 5speed less to go wrong and there arent many 5 speed vr's around and you will have less problems and save alot of fuel when comparing the 3 i would like to get 400kms out of a tank of petrol but i dont think thats possible in my car but my mate who has a vr get 2 weeks out of a tank of petrol and im jealous of that

VR. newest car = least likely to be a money pit.

Avoid modified cars as they have probably had a hard life. I dare say manuals are more likely to have been driven hard then autos, but if you're set on getting a manual you can't do much about that i guess.

Find a nice clean stock example with the lowest kilometers you can find. Test drive a whole lot of cars to get a good idea of how they should drive, don't just buy the first one you see, or the one that has the most fully sick wheels. You can add some go-faster bits later .

[SquishyShoes]

I would say a vk with 3.8 transplant and the all important manual 'box.

[skruba]

u can never go past a vp ftw mine has chewed a few vr n vls

Toyota Corolla KE70.

Oh wait wrong forum. XD

[DavidPartay]

My old Series 1 VN 5 speed V6 was great fun!

There's still quite a few VNs on the road these days too... Try and find something nice and tidy which looks like it's been looked after. A service history with receipts to prove it is also a good thing.

The VR would be the best one if it's your first car. Parts available everywhere. 5 speeds are apparently hard to find.
