Aussie with Irish Passport, living in Canada, but probably moving to Dublin this year

Whew.....so yeah.....as the title says, Im an Aussie with Irish citizenship (thanks grandpa), currently living in Vancouver, Canada, but have been offered a position with my company in Dublin!

I am hoping to stay into the drifting scene if I do have to come over, so i wanted to get involved and make some inquiries into cars, costs etc.

Any help would be appreciated lads/lasses.

Cheers,

Ryan 'spud' Murphy

hiya great intro :cool:
here will be a good spot for all the info you need,
welcome!

great into x2
and what you after ted?
and DI is your new home :D

I used to own a 240sx with a blacktop SR20 (roadcar), and recently sold that and bought a JDM Aristo.

I am leaving the Aristo here for when i come back for vacations in the underground parking of my apartment.

I was thinking I would need something with a small capacity engine so that I am not severely raped on insurance and tax etc, seeing I have never held insurance in Ireland before.

So, i was thinking of looking for an AE86 sprinter or Trueno.

Ideally, I would really like a JZX100 chaser or a MarkII, but I am thinking they will cost me too much in insurance etc.

A S13 or S14 Silvia would also be sweet.

Any suggestions?

well i have s14a and payn 1200 year with mods delacred

I was hoping to get into something for around 4k ish if it was an AE86, more for something better. Nothing crazy, just something I can slide around the track, and the streets ;) Also use it to pick up the groceries at the local Tescos.

welcome along man

ae86,s over here are a lil bit more expensive then 4k but ya wouldn have to stretch your budget by much to get a decent 1:D
