>Sleek classics on a dime from the VW / Audi / Porsche trio edition

It's that time again, European citizens! Post your cars, talk about your trips, discuss potential meets, etc. Most of us around here are from the EU but just about everyone from the European geographical zone is invited, including Ruskis and Brexiters.

Keep in mind that this general is still relatively young (the first thread was earlier this week, iirc?) and therefore hasn't gained all that much traction yet, so please be patient since it might take a while for frequent posters to settle in.

>Skyline 1.8 GL for 1.200 euros in Portugal

olx.pt/anuncio/nissan-skyline-1-8-gl-IDyNusx.html#c531efbc4d

This is probably the only one in the country, should I go for it? The description vaguely claims that "the documentation is in order but the mechanic isn't", which might imply anything from not having passed the latest inspection to not running at all.

Also, on a side note, why the fuck is it so hard to find info on this particular Skyline model, or about any 1980s Skylines in general? I would like to know exactly how rare these are and where in the family they fit in.

r30 skyline with the ca18e. its basically a nissan laurel

So it's not all that remarkable of a find, I guess? :/

>tfw your favourite and best 90's luxobarge is super fast, super reliable and amazingly good looking
>tfw it's also massively undesirable
>tfw this makes for super cheap prices
>tfw endless cheap supply of my super secret luxobarges
You faggots wish you knew.

they can still skid

go away grandpa no one likes your lexus

>lexus
>good looking
lmao

I mean, I'm not even a Lexus fag, but looking good is one of the main reasons as to why they're so appealing for grandpas.

A Cedric or Gloria?

/o i'm wondering if you could help me, i want to buy an audi a3 96-99 but im worried because i heard that it's suspention break around 60k km is it true or from which year of manifacture is it avoidable?
Bad eng sorry.

>Carro com documentos em ordem mas sem a mecânica.

Maior, sem mecânica quer dizer que não tem motor.

>A fucking engineless Skyline

it's a nice looking car, but no GTR
it has 90hp to 1200kg which imo is decent to get around, if you can push it to 120hp I think you'll have a bunch of fun with it

I'd buy it for that kind of cash and try and upgrade the engine desu

okay my bad, I didn't see the first picture in the ad

the car is probably fucked up but if you can work on it, I think it's a nice looking car

I take it you don't know how engine swaps work in Portugal. Like I said above, when you see "the car has no mechanics" it's a way to lure in idiots, no offense, by twisting the words around "the car has no fucking engine".

Now, on paper, swaps here are straight up illegal, even if it's the same engine. What everyone does is swap engines that look like the old ones, they won't bother checking. If they are different, things get interesting.
First you need to provide a fully detailed report of your project to: the car's brand representative, the IMTT (our DMV), and an independent auto engineer. You'll need approval from all 3. And if by some miracle you get the approval, then things get fucked up: if there is a displacement increase, you have to pay the remainder of the tax, AS IF IT WAS A NEW CAR. Most give up at this point, I even personally know someone who did. Was building a Mitsubishi Colt GTI replica out of a 1.3 shell, for the increase to 1.8 he was asked to pay...7500€. Yes, seven thousand five hundred. Then after that, and the swap done, you need to take it to a 200€ extra inspection.

first picture in the ad is some random photo i think
the other photos seem realistic

oh wow

Oh, and I forgot to say that the 3 initial approvals round up to around 500€

>still not just giving up and joining Brit/o/
We already have your cutest trap. Accept the balmy confines of Empire and praise the Emperor.

Why would we, britain is not europe

Why don't you guys come to Ultimate Street Car with the Brit/o/ boyz?

It's just a Golf so parts should be cheap.

Unless you made a typo and mean the A4, which is as good as identical to the 5th gen Passat in the front.

Daily reminder Brit/o/ have a larger presence in Europe than you

what do you guys think about r19? ive found some diesel ones with low km. It looks well maintained. So?

toyota owners club has bigger presence in britain than brit/o/. You should disband.

Why do you want one?

mostly commute, some long distance trips now and then

Idunno, get it if you like it.

i'll prob get it, parts are quite cheap actually its growing on me

We are the Toyota owners club, cockend

doesn't that thing have a van engine

Toyota Traps Europe aka Brit/o/ aka the Empire

Its true im a euro trap and am detained by a group of english brutes. Pls come to USC and try to win me back by being cool and hanging out!

So I've been looking for
>rear wheel drive
>manual
>150+ hp
>coupe
>less than 20 years old
out of curiosity and there's literally nothing within my budget that isn't a BMW or Mercedes, I have to go pretty high in price to find ANYTHING other than those two. Do they seriously have such a monopoly?

>so I've been looking for a BMW
You didn't state price range either

Thank you

i'd love to come and hang with brit/o/, I might even come by car to uk this summer.

any balts here wanna do summer meets and go to opentrack?

I started from the bottom and kept going until found something else which was twice over my budget anyway.

I don't really want a convertible.

There's a single lovely 1990 MR2 available for like 2.5k euro though, I'd get it in a heartbeat if I was buying right now and not just doing market research.

get an sw20 then. It's more special, has insane handling compared to bmw's due to being midship and you'll be cool as fuck for driving a dangerous car and more popular since the mr2 is more cute and non threatening when compared to mercs and beemers

If you do, come to Ultimate Street Car.
ultimatestreetcar.co.uk

It's this year's flagship Brit/o/ meet

Yeah, the guy confirmed it by PM. FODA-SE.

Worst of all, it's illegal to do an engine swap in Portugal, so this thing is basically just a well polished carcass.

You can, if you follow my handy guide at , and are ready to cough up a few thousand € just to legalize

Just absolutely and completely fuck this country

At least it's a nice candidate for importing to a country with less restrictive laws, I suppose.

Fuck it, I'm not going to pay over 7500 merkels just to get an engine installed on that. The car looks really good regardless and I will be forwarding the the ad to a friend who's into racing and could probably turn it into a track day car but the amount of anti-Veeky Forums laws in this country still baffles me.

I might move to Spain in the upcoming years but the advertisement will eventually be gone since then.

My uncle has one, they still hold up pretty well for commuting. Might be worth getting one in good condition for ~1k.

Yup, but it's pretty good regardless. The European version is even blessed with not having 1/3rd of the HP cut down like the American one.

Spain isn't that much better honestly. Most of our laws are copied from them, such as the fuckretarded one that you need written authorization from the manufacturer if you want another tyre size in your car. Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but afaik we're the only 2 countries in the world that do this.

My parents have resident status in Spain and they say that car laws over there are far less restrictive. At the very least car prices are much cheaper, I've been looking for a Porsche 944 lately and, while you can easily find a decent one for less than 5k over there, it's basically impossible to get a properly maintained one for less than 10k in Portugal. Hopefully buying a car in Spain and driving it in Portugal while having Spanish residence doesn't bother the cops too much, otherwise I'll scream for MUH SCHENGEN AGREEMENT when bothered.

So yeah, fuck our countries but fuck mine in particular.

Also, desu you only get the tax if the displacement increases. Will still be close to 1k€ just to legalize though.
You could also check which engine it had, then put one visually identical. As I've said, they will not check the block's serial number, and as long as it doesn't go ham on emissions you're gucci. I'm planning that on my Opel, the C14SE engine it has needs a rebuild, but I might take the chance to swap in a C16SE, it's literally the same engine with a different bore and travel.

Were the 1980s the golden years of Porsche?

>924S/944, praised as the best handling car for its time
>928, perhaps the coolest-looking car for its time
>930, possibly the best 911 ever made
>959, easily the single coolest supercar ever seen

Sure, they're still an incredibly strong presence today with an inhumane amount of LeMans victories and all, but they were basically shitting groundbreaking cars back then.

>all this discussion about Euro laws but no one actually posting their current DDs
Show 'em.

Because it isn't a DD anymore. My new job is close enough that I don't need to drive to it now. Plan is to repair and restomod, learning to wrench and weld as I go.

>restomod a corsa
Wow just die already

just deleted my pic but a rav4 that gets beaten round track and touge

...

me n my bro at his house lmao

I'll bite. Why? Any reason other than

>he takes care of a car I don't like REEEEEEE

Literally the worst car ever made, least desirable car ever made, cheapest car ever made. Why would you restomod this unholy trinity

you better fucking delete that comment, kiddo.

So it really is

>he takes care of a car I don't like REEEEEEE

How are you "restoring" a car that young anyway. How can it possibly need "restoring"

>1993 was 24 years ago

As this age any car will have parts that need some tlc. Rust that needs welded plates, engine wear, etc. It's best to take care of it and maintain now than let it develop into a mess. Pic related, this was on a 1990 BX GTi.

...

Holy fuck, just let user enjoy his Corsa. I've had one and they're decent compacts with great durability, there's no reason to hate them.

:'(
Should be back up and running soon though, engine and tranny still work

928 and 951, the best automotive duo ever.
R.I.P to my 951. at least i still got the 928

Are you the blue 928 user from /pog/? If so, I'm jelly af for you, the 928 is one of my dream cars. It's easily one of the most beautiful designs ever made imho.

Night Wave Europe has allready almost 10 members in mainland europe. Reminder to all euros to join for meets and car bantz!

You have had literally 0 meets. You don't even have a resident mechanic to work on your members cars and teach them to work on their cars. You don't run in a race series. You don't have a members holiday happening this year. You don't have the cutest traps. Just join Brit/o/, the established source of euro meets.

Post a throwaway email if you want to join Brit/o/ slack chat or just come along to USC, all are welcome to camp and banter with us. Racing optional.

we have our own race track and have plans to run opentrack in balt and local lemons.
We also don't shitpost in brit/o/ threads.

also you have 1 euro member which is less than the amount of meets NW has had.

Are yellow vehicles a meme

I really want a jellow kar. Idk why but yellow/orange best kar kolour

how bluepilled am I? My dream car would be a gta blista compact real life counterpart. You guys know any cars that fit the description?

literally Honda CRX

honda crx literally.
Its a fwd ae86 pmuch

buying a 150k car from 1988 can't possibly be a sound investment, can it

It's a Honda, 150k km is nothing. Get one in good shape (no rust, decent maintenance history etc) and it should serve you well.

Of course it isn't.

Do it.

Otoh, 4 fucking K

>tfw it just wanted to give the prius a kiss on the bum

So tell me, why exactly shouldn't I buy a 600 euro subaru legacy and slap a TT engine in it for a track day and winter beater?

Have fun getting it through the inspections, I guess.

its legally easy since the car has a tt engine variant from factory

So you just re-register it as one of those then? If that's how it works and you have the means to pull it off, go for it.

>930, possibly the best 911 ever made

objectively the most primitive and dangerous 911 ever made

>implying the danger isn't what made it great

Honest question; should my sister go for it/how should I talk her out of it? Car related, if you can speak slav, otherwise just check the specs.

>smart
if she hates driving then she may should
if she has some joy left in her life and she can't laugh about how ridiculously shit it is, don't buy a smart.
at least not an old one, do not know about this gen of Smart.

ironic shitposting image related.

She doesn't like driving, just like most women, she gets very nervous when she has to drive. She doesn't live in a big city, so I don't know if smart is right for her.
But in the end it's her money, so idk.
