Spooled VN? na in all seriousness though, any 4 cylinder would be a good starting point in my opinion.

Why?
They're harder then anything to learn in.

cheers all

$10k would be looking at something like an S13 turbo or a V8 manual commo, but that might be pushing given how rusty i'd be at driving manual. Might be best to get an elcheapo car, learn in it, then do it up with a tight budget, and then sell it off to fund a better car haha.

why would you do up your el cheapo car??? honestly i don't think doing it up a little is going to add alot of value to an el cheapo, you'd prob lose money. buy el cheapo ---> learn ---> sell ----> better car.

i learned to drive manual on my mums 04 forester and while it was a bit tricky getting used to the clutch setting that they have i now have to problems hoping in any manual car and adapting straight away to the clutch setting

It'd be mainly for learning purposes, if i was actually to go ahead with modding a cheap car i bought, itd be all DIY to cut costs and for me to learn as well, if something screws up then less harm will be done than if it was to happen to my daily driver.


$10k might be pushing it after reevaluating my finances, $2k or less would be my current budget, so its pretty much an old 4 banger with high k's, though i have seen a few older V6 commodores going for less than $2k with manual transmission. I'm thinking commodore, at least i wont need to thrash it to keep up with traffic.

Ah makes sense, only one way to learn, right?
