Need a Car
Hi, im in search of a car, and i've thought about the 240, but its kinda weak, and i need more power! and i dont want to hassle with an engine swap, Im not looking for a drifting car either. Im looking for a car that is already turbo, reliable, between a $8k-$15k, not high maintenance, parts are cheap, and a decent ammount of aftermarket parts. I know im very picky about this car, but i've been searching for along time. I've been thinking about alot of cars, ive really wanted a z32 300zx, but i've found out that they are high maintenance, and parts are expensive to replace. And i wanted a supra but those are wayyy to expensive. so anyone have any suggestions? anyone know a car that can easily and not to expensive to turbo? thanks in advance
some cars off the top of my head: 91 MR2 Turbo Z31 300ZX Turbo MKIII Supra Turbo 01 WRX VW GTi 1.8t some other cars... |
despite what some people say, WRXs are awesome...stock or upgraded...
my teacher (lol) at school has an '01, hes pushing about 400-450hp at the wheels...thing foookin flieees...:naughty: :naughty: but yea, ive driven stock WRXs and id say they are worth the money... |
Thanks for the info 95_240SXSE! I'll definatly start lookin into WRX's. The reason i mentioned it is because I'm always seeing really nice wrx's on the road w/ body kits and such, i thought they were all show no go. which style is better? the 01-03 wrx's with the bug eye lights, or the 04 newer models? Also if you i do get a wrx, is the sti alot different? is the wrx just as worth it and not worth it to get an STi unless i go into rally or serious track racing? is the wrx good in a strait line (1/4 mile), or good at winding roads?

WRXs are not under 15k at all..that is your max price right? I think a MR2 will be a great car, wonderful and not to pricey. Rx-7s and Z32s are high matience, sadly. And parts do cost quite a lot. GTIs are great all around cars, a couple of my friends have some and its a fun car. I think its a toss up between the MR2 and GTI, WRX is you can afford it.

you should go for an e30 m3. i've always wanted one. good looks, handling, and i think 200hp. Plus, it's a bimmer:cool:
and i doubt they go over 15k... |
I go for the Mitsu 3000GT VR4......but that's only me....

How about Eclipse/Talon turbo AWD? Some say it doesn't turn but It'll turn just as good if you have the suspension right. :thumb: You'll need to get 2 even 3 LSDs instead of just one, though. :dunno:
I was thinking about that car before I got my 240, but the look on my fastback ruled. :) |
i have some questions about these cars:
eclipse or 3000gt - reliable, cheap, parts arn't expensive, good car overall? and as you can tell by my name i like e30's my bro has a 87 bmw e325e (4 door) and its his DD, maybe i can get that car and put a 95 m3 engine in it? 200-250 hp i think? |

Not sure about 3000GT & Bimmer.
For Eclipse turbo awd, you can get 1st & 2nd gen. for about $6000 or under. 3rd gen. prices vary thanks to that movie F&F..... But you can still get a nice, decent one within ur budget. :D Reliable, not really if u're gonna modify it extensively. If u want reliability, I've heard a few owners suggest keeping it stock. Even so u still have 200hp to play with. Parts, they rn't cheap to me (I'm broke. :D) . Go search on it & u will get some ideas. Also, check www.dsm.org for info. Good car overall? Depends on how u define a good car. To me, it is. But I care performance potential the most, interior & comfy 2nd, style the last. :) Good luck on your car shopping. :thumb: |
