Help Selecting car

[xthakila]

Okay so i have reduced my choices to an Evo 8 or 9, Skyline, Rx-7 or a civic.
Anyother suggestions are welcome.
Which one of those do you think I should buy? or can you suggest anyothers?

[Frög]

Civic, definitely!!! Best car in the world, why do you think there are so many?

[xthakila]

Really a Civic over a skyline or an Evo....

[RWD164]

You don't necessarily have to buy Japanese. For way less than 30k you could get a Volvo s60R, or a BMW 3 Series. Since you are looking used, you might want to consider these.

[xthakila]

But no one can make cars turn like the Japanese...Sorry I sound like a fanboy...

[RWD164]

Turn as in RPM or as in outright handling?

[MSRTom]

But no one can make cars turn like the Japanese...Sorry I sound like a fanboy...

Wow. I'd like to see the proof in that.


What's your budget?

[xthakila]

Outright Handling...
My budget will depend on the car I decide on. I will save accordingly. Looking to pick up the car early in 2009.

[MSRTom]

Outright Handling...

So you've never heard of a Porsche?

[xthakila]

I have but look at how much it costs...The GT is 193 I think that when I said my budget is flexible i should have put a bar at 50 lol
sorry for the confusion...

[MSRTom]

Wow. You're comparing apples to oranges. There is more than one BRAND NEW Porsche available for under 50K.

I just think that this is an asinine statement:

But no one can make cars turn like the Japanese...

You should come back with a real budget and do some research.

[xthakila]

Ok MSRTom I apologize for wasting your time just thought i would throw out some stuff to get an opinion on...Oh Well

[quickdodge®]

Really a Civic over a skyline or an Evo....

Hey stupid. If you're that moronic enough to put a Civic in a list of car choices that includes an RX7, a Skyline or an EVO (whatever) then you deserve to get the Civic. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

But no one can make cars turn like the Japanese...Sorry I sound like a fanboy...

You sound more like a fanbiitch. Later, QD.

[xthakila]

I only put a Civic in there because someone recommended it to me.
If all you can do is talk trash please do not comment. Grow-up learn to offer constructive criticism not bash every comment you disagree with.

Hey guys. I'm gonna take my girlfriend out for dinner next week. I've narrowed it down to these restaurants: Ruths Chris Steak House, Fogo de Chao, Mortons Steak House, Brio Tuscan Grille, or Taco Bell. Where should I take her!?

[xthakila]

Wow thanks guys really mature.

[MistaCee]

Taco Bell! In the Civic!

Ok, I am not going to bash you, but...

The EVO 8 and 9 are both AWD and as a result, they naturally oversteer unless they have had a lot of work. The Civic should not be mentioned with the EVo's or the RX7 because if built, FWD will torque steer (not great for handling). Personally, I have no problem with the RX-7 other than it is down on torque a bit, but all things considered, a very good motor.

As for your comment on Porsche, pretty much every carb porsche (Pre-'76) will drive circles around any of the cars you are considering in the handling department. As for the Japanses cars turn better statement, do remeber that the early japanese suspension designs were actually british. Colin Chapman of Lotus, to be precise.

If you are looking at handling, look at older cars. The lighter the better. Maybe a Datsun 510 (hey, it is japanese), or a 240Z. European cars could be a BMW 320i or an Audi. If you actually have near 50k, look at a used 911. You will not do better in the handling department.

[xthakila]

Do you think I could get hold of a Nissan Gt-R for 50K

[bandydesign]

maybe an SE-R

[bandydesign]

new M3 =$56k do it

[LordZed]

AGH HAHAHA!!
And have fun with all the legal crap that will come with that Skyline.

[xthakila]

Sorry but I am lost...Legal crap???

[MSRTom]

Yes. Legal crap.

They are DOT ILLEGAL unless you have one of the "Motorex" cars. They are illegal on the federal level as they are not on the approved import list.

You get one shipped over, good luck getting it titled and then insured.

[Barefoot]

Evo 8 or 9, Skyline, Rx-7 or a civic.
how in the hell do u even have a civic on the list with the rest of these cars.

[xthakila]

Did you not read my previous posts??

[SiRed94]

Genius!

[SiRed94]

import a S15 and build a Tsukuba Circuit car...

had to include the retard to be politically correct.
id say rx7, AWD is over rated

[FasTech]

lol at civic being on the list! Well all you've done is put a few cars on a list... You didn't state what you wanted out of the car like, horsepower, torque, handling....etc. Make the list more specific next time. I would get a '04 WRX Sti.

My god no. dont tell him to get an sti. look at his comments, whatever he gets is going to be totalled im sure. so go with the civic. theres plenty to replace with.

[MSRTom]

geo metro.

YES!!!!


Sorry I sound like a fanboy...

Nu uh....





:lmfao:

[IndianStig]

get a ford fiesta! yay

[xthakila]

I was looking to get a WHP of around 700 after tunning maybe more if possible.
I guess it should not over-steer on under-steer.

[AnthonyF]

this isnt a TECHNICAL question. Moving.

-Ant.

[AnthonyF]

oh, and 20 bucks says your an idiot who's looking to try and impressing people over the internet.

-Ant.

[MSRTom]

Just wondering, will this be your FIRST car?

[xthakila]

Not really I am actually trying to buy a car. I have no intentions of impressing people I will probably never meet in my life. Such things are only for fools with no lives. I was actually hoping to get some advice on cars (I don't know too much about them) I was hoping some of you guys who actually know more than me can help me by giving me some genuine advice.

[AnthonyF]

then use google and stop acting like we will actually give a shìt at which fictional vehicle car you'll never obtain.

-Ant.

[xthakila]

Wow Super mods here are really helpful. Thank you.

[xthakila]

Msrtom it will not be my first car but it will be my first car that is not an SUV though. Thats why I sound completely useless.

[AnthonyF]

Wow Super mods here are really helpful. Thank you.

That's what i'm here for. :D Your Welcome.

[boostleak]

Kay..... if you say so. Dude heres some advice on for you... Think before you post. Its not that we all are A holes on IA, its just we dont like a dumbass that ask a stupid question... Now maybe if you had approached the question in a more serious manner people whould show a little "respect", but because you came out with an open thread that was useless in return we must bash it, but in reality we are only trying to help this thread to render usefull... just the jokes on you.. Im mean really i cant believe how many People ask this question and theres no problom but ... you killed it. We dont even know what the car is going to be used for wait YOU dont even know what your going to use it for Autox, drag, a weekend warrior? But because you arnt seriously serious! Neither are we... just stick to your SUV buy a box sit in it and dream on...

[Motivation]

Msrtom it will not be my first car but it will be my first car that is not an SUV though. Thats why I sound completely useless.

The only statement I agree with that you have posted in this thread.

[Motivation]

Any drivers/tuners in NC in Durham/Raleigh

I'm sure there are people that drive in Durham/Raleigh NC... They're not a third world country... But the majority of us on importATLANTA (as in the state of Georgia), live a little closer... so we're really not going to know...

[xthakila]

When I say drivers I mean someone who knows how to work with cars.
Okay then if you want it to be on a more serious and specific note since the open ended question did not really work.
I will pose a more specific one.
I am looking for a car that I can tune upto at least 700WHP.
I will use it for drags.
I will also use if for drifting to a small extent(only for fun to start with.)
Maybe autox want to leave that option open.
Is that descriptive enough?
or is this comment useless as well.

[Motivation]

1) none of them were questions
2) that was not specific at all
3) you want to try to begin drifting in a 700 whp car? you have fun with that
4) You can't really just tune up a car to 700whp... little more involved that that
5) you want a car to drag and autox and drift? have fun with that setup
6) you are new to actually driving cars, and you want to do all this? quit watching so much t.v.
7) go get a cavalier and try drifting on top of a parking deck
8) goodbye

[xthakila]

I am not new to driving cars....
I know I will have to install mods in the car to get it up to 700 WHP.
No I don't want to do all that hence I said that I will only drift for fun maybe not at all.
I actually do not watch TV at all.
and yes i fail i admit goodbye. Thanks for all your help guys.

[MSRTom]

I will also use if for drifting to a small extent(only for fun to start with.)


Get the Civic.

[BlkCD5]

ROFL

[xthakila]

Well at least you guys got something to laugh about.

[LordZed]

Ok, I am not going to bash you, but...

The EVO 8 and 9 are both AWD and as a result, they naturally oversteer unless they have had a lot of work.

Not to start another topic, but how do you figure? Do you mean under steer? Most AWD guy's myself included battle under steer on our cars more so than over steer. AWD cars are more neutral in there handling and even dive a bit like a FWD car until pushed to there limit. The exception being the STi and new Evo X which you can control the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, thus allowing the cars rear to rotate. The stock WRX's and Evo's will under steer all day long unless you chuck it into a turn hard enough to get a four wheel drift, at which point you can get the nose to tuck in with some trail breaking. Just from my experience. I'm sure other AWD cars have different handling dynamics, but generally under steer is the unwanted gremlin.

[Elbow]

Any car can be made to handle, a Civic can EASILY out handle a EVO and walk on it in the mountains with NO power. I agree about having a Civic on that list you sound like a 14 year old boy planning his first car.

Get a Porsche. Japanese cars suck

[One_Bad_SHO]

I think I'll go with Taco Bell.

[MR2DR]

2X ^^^^

can you say baja blast?

but seriously, if i had a 50k budget, i'll actually get a 335i and then some..

[xthakila]

Ok guys I am getting an evo9 which is completely untouched and has only 10,000 miles on it getting it for 15
Is that a good deal.

[DeeAOne]

Taco Bell! In the Civic!ROFL!! lirl.

anyway, this guy is too much.

[seanrg1116]

That sounds like a lie to me.

No one in there right mind would sell a car like that for that price

Nice catch. I did intend to type understeer, but I was thinking too many sentences ahead. My fault,

WOW... im sorry but if your going to lie to try and be "cool" at least go to kelly's blue book for a good price :thinking:... you sir are a real dumbass and im calling Bull****! Now if this deal is real.... post the link! And with 10k ...sorry but no..

[DecoyOctopus]

hahahahah forget skylines and evos and all that shiny nonsense...get a civic man

[boostleak]

Hell yeah.. EVOS=are horrible don't get it metros/mopeds can beat em. Skylines are gay,slow, and jdm stupid, and RX7 aren't real..... they are mythical creatures. Civic=Gawd they are da bestest car in da mofockin world the AWD rear wheel drive system uses both left and right tires to keep you droofting all long. Then you can throw on an double stacker APR wing and its and autoX beast On stock tires!!OMG!! Dont get me started on drag! man civics have V-tak and vtak makes horse power its better then all that other ****ty HP. *back to reality* Really man THINK be for you post you say the dumbest things ever.. If you really want to be serious you should of asked about each car,there trim lvls types of engine configuration platform,etc. Bottom line is its your car and if you really want to put "700" Hp to the ground that takes dedication but you cant even be detailed to what you want to start, 700 HP isn't over night so if your not dedicated to a simple post how dedicated are you going to be to your car?

[boostleak]

My God.... Do you even know what overstree/understeer is... You basicly just said. "I hope my car doesnt turn right when i turn left" OH noo iiiit did NOOOOOOO my car is going to hit the walllll... Dude i dont even want to say it again just please for the last time THINK BEFORE you post.. dont waste our time

Kid is ****ing 19 and is talking about getting a 50k car. Has no ****ing clue what the car scene is like and puts a civic amongst the options between a skyline (must've seen it on 2F2F, because otherwise he wouldnt know what it was), and and evo (also on 2F2F).

do some research first dumbass then try to come on here and ask questions.

and untouched evo 9 for 15k.

thats the most bull**** ever.

you have got to be kidding....

or better yet...look into getting a Geo Metro to start off...

Ive come to the conclusion that you need to get the fastest car possible BEFORE you reproduce...
