haizzz.. u are the 2nd person to tell me this car's maintainence is costly..
but i've met around 5 lantis's drivers.. they told me maintainence is ok wor.. -.- 
really  :x

Should I or Shouldn't I ???? 

You are asking about a 25 year old sporty'ish car. What makes you think maintenance won't be expensive, parts wont be hard to find and the possibility the car has not been modded by unqualified people to high heaven already?

Lol. Logic lar.

Buy or not depends if you are depending on this as a daily driver or a collector/fun weekend car.

No.. i tested a mazda v6 and another b180 mazda familia. The v6 is nice but rattles and the b180 really bad condition so didnt buy. I finally went for sentra b13 with sr20ve 20v, 204hp engine with 6 speed manual.

V6 is nicer. Smoother.

wooo sr20ve neovvl right? awesome..

Yup the 204hp version instead of the normal 184hp version.
The 204hp version got 20v at the back so its sr20ve 20v

btw what do you meant by 'The v6 is nice but rattles '?  it's hard to find proper v6 or b8 210 for sale

On my test car, the v6 revvs smoothly. But the windows were rattling.. the car needs to fix all the bushings and rubber seals to enjoy the ride hence i didnt buy it previously.

Also the turning radius is quite big for a small car. I like the v6 la due to its smoother than the turbo. Turbo also slightly higher hp only than the v6, so dont have the 'kick'.

slightly? huhu the KF-ZE Type R is 170hp and bpd is around 180hp with extra 50+Nm torque more, as for bpt is around 210hp with tons more torque

Yeah because i am comparing the turbo to evo3 in proton wira haha. My previous car before is a toyota corolla seg with 4age 20v blacktop with 6 speed manual. 165hp when stock but mine is not stock d. So the v6 is almost similar but smoother.

it's soo damn tempting to get 1, sadly i will pass. Wanna save few more bulks just in case IF i'm needed to rebuild most stuff aka bushing and etc since the car is more than 20 years.

How much is it and how is the condition the current car u are looking at?
Toyota seg AE101 is good too if it comes with the blacktop engine hehe. Its a better car compared to my sentra b13 although power is 25% lesser, the fun factor is more.

sadly i didn't like nor dislike seg AE101 design, i prefer lantis as it's one of my "carcrush". Currently looking for good condition Lantis turbo BPD/BPT

Yeah it was my crush too during my primary school days. Always looked at it when my bus drove past one used car shop. It was there for a long time tho.

yoo bro, i managed to find 1 stock BPT for sale, in relatively good condition. The engine barely got 'turbo lag' as it got quite decent low-end torque despite turbocharged car.

the interior is going to need proper rebuild but the engine/gb is good ( i drive it around, vroom2 pshhh )

Thats great. Interior rebuild are quite expensive tho.
Got any link or pictures?

truthfully it's not that bad, interior can be slowly fixed, i focused more on engine/gearbox/suspension and frameless door thngy.

Got white smoke when ram ram rpm above 4k?
How is the engine oil consumption?
Idling solid?
Most importantly, how much?

idling W/O AC ngam, a bit high tp easy to fix, tappet? bising skit, probably kena set blik but otherwise it's really good. no smoke, no available leak. i think engine wise it's solid 9/10 since it's relatively new transplanted into the car ( 1 year i think ).

price wise, haven't finalize yet.
