which car
 
hey guys i was just wondering what car i should save up for i'm only 17 at the moment so i don't really plan on importing any cars i was deciding between a
'92-'86 Toyota Supra
'91-'86 Mazda RX-7 <- ^ yeah i like the older ones better they look nicer
'95-'91 Toyota MR2 cause it's a midship so great handling
all of those up there would be turbo of course
'98-'97 Nissan 240sx this car has a nice mean aggressive front and like a 50-50 wt balance and the sr20det is lighter then the us version or so i hear

MKIII supra - Nice but expensive to tune and maintain

'91-'86 Mazda RX-7 - Fast, Nimble, light but if u intend to race you'll find yourself needing a new engine every couple years

'95-'91 Toyota MR2 - easy to maintain, handles great, engine can take a lot of mods....but haven't u ever thought of the Celica All TRAC?.... same engine but with more power, Awd system, and cheaper to buy and maintain..but engine in the front

'98-'97 Nissan 240sx do the come turboed in the US?...i thought there was only the SR20DE motor in those....i know ppl usually swap in the SR20DET into em....but its a great car none the less....


but lets review....wat do u intend to do with the car?

drag race? i'd go with the SUPRA

Circuit? i'd go with the MR2 or the 240SX...

Rally like and every day beating? i'd take the celica

Drift? 240SX or RX7

i thought about the all trac celica but they are impossible to find i saw only like 2 in the last 4 months when looking for a car to buy and no the 240sx comes with like a ka22 or something like that the sentra come with the sr20de's

hey , nice choices, but im more partial to the 97-98 240sx only cuz i have one hahah , its a wicked car, good on gas , great handling , it has enough power and get a lot of looks , plus you dont see one on every corner, oh BTW theres a KA24DE in my 240 and i think it has 155 hp and 150 tq

VuN86 08-01-2003 10:51 PM

haha yeah but u don't really see any of the cars that i picked on every corner haha but anyways does anyone have any other suggestions that i could look into

VuN86 08-02-2003 12:48 AM

SkyLiNEz MK-V 08-04-2003 12:36 AM

my brother has a '91 mr2 and its not too easy to maintain he says. Engine is the hardest part to get to if you cant drop it out. He also just recently had a bad experience with the timer when in high grounds (idaho). Im not to much of a wiz on mr2s but he said that the timer on it is a lot more sensitive than other cars.

my .02 cents

well i decided to go with a '84-'87 Corolla GT-S Hatch now the problem is finding one on the east coast i heard alot of good things about it like it's really fun to drive even at low speeds
