:eek: Awww.....my eyes! my eyes! :D

www.honda-tech.com (http://www.honda-tech.com) and go to the classifieds. You can find a nice swapped car there, and let someone else take the hit. Buying a stock car and doing it all yourself will cost 3 times as much (even though its fun). To me it's funner to drive than to wrench, and it doesn't hurt to save money doing it.

[Scrappy]

lamar!! funner? lol and that is true, its always nice to have a build and do what you want as its going in... but money pit, one thats done properly and have knowledge is the best way to go, the route i am taking too :D but only EG

[Cliff]

buy an EF so you don't have to change your s/n cause it's more trouble than it's worth

[Scrappy]

see! the EG was MADE for turbo!! ;) and cliff... lol

[Mike Lowrey]

see! the EG was MADE for turbo!! ;) and cliff... lol

but, the MR2 already COMES with a turbo... ;)

[PSINXS]

either way he gonna have fun. i cant believe a ford fuckus was on the list.

[mocha latte cupcake]

SW20 y0! Turbo is good. Turbo is wise. Spool made with cars off the assembly line are better than wishing and making your cars turbo.... toyota's are Gods gift to the turbo.

[PSINXS]

^ agreed nothin better than supra mkiv or second gen mr2

[D16Civic]

^^I second that
Its too bad i could never find a decent one in my price range when i was looking...so of course, i ended up with a civic. o well

[Buford®]

want somthing fun,quick,and well handling



a 02 svt focus


Those shouldn't even be in the same sentence together. :D

[efman]

^ ya well the svt does handle okay for a stock hatchback i rather have it than an new si
thanks for all the replys i figured you guys would think it was gay to buy a already built car keep the replys coming

[PSINXS]

not gay to buy a built car. sometimes u get what u want and save your tuning time. also how many ppl buy a car and leave it the way it is? there is always more to improve on. u just started with easier to work with platform.

[D16Civic]

yea, the svt actually does handle pretty well, knew someone who had one, of course he didnt have the money to make his payments so they took it back, and he bought an extremely fast civic hatch for a heck of alot less. (the svt will definitly empty ur pockets more, just cuz its newer and it has the :eek: "SVT" badge)

yeah that's true, but you have to worry about the person doing the work properly and and make sure he/or she didin't take any shortcuts.


If I was the guy that started this thread, I would just buy a crx bone stock. Put a b18c1 in it. Slam that bitch on si wheels and call it a day. :D

[Calvin200sx]

You could consider a Nissan turbocharged 200sx. It's going cheap.

i would buy a dub over any of the choices, but if you have to EG

[Kristi]

you know paul - i saw a dub yesterday that i loved. it was a pretty blue r32. i have newfound respect for that car now -so pretty and sounded soooo good

[efman]

thanks for the replys and i am worried about making sure the works done right if i buy an already built car. i guess i will take it to a shop to get it checked out. anybody know of honda shop north of atlanta, like around cuming or gainsville ?

[civic95]

yes, www.opmautosports.com (http://www.opmautosports.com)


They work on racecars, but they do all factory services on Honda, and Acuras (that's where they make most of their money). I used to use them before I started doing my own work. Brett has used them. They are honest people, and I beleive more knowledgeable than the dealership's techs. Not to mention a little cheaper than others.

[efman]

thanks
