You're most likely not going to find a reliable/buildable mk3 supra for 3k or under... Scratch that off the list as a first unless you have a shitload of time and money to spend, and have a good amount of automotive knowledge... They are testy as fuck and i wouldn't recommend it (speaking from experience).
And ya he's right, my dad had 3 of them.Originally Posted by CRAMERIZKING
Eclipse GST or GSX. 1993-1994 or 1997-1999
Or 1991 6bolt/4bolt can't go wrong.
1992-1992.5 where the only time the 6/4bolt combo was around and there getting harder to find. But I give you probs on giving him good info.
As for starter cars. Even though DSM's have the making of a good starter import car. I really think you should look else where first. DSM's can make power and be very reliable. But you have to keep up on the maintance part of the tuning.

Proud former owner and future owner of a 1996 Mitshibishi Eclipse Spyder GSX(AWD). Ready to sell it back to me yet, Vonrok?
ok just my two cents but to me almost every car listed has been done be for do something different try this
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ce=&cardist=29
this is a cressida a four door toyota boxy real boring looking right WRONG it is really a supra in sheeps cholthing it has the 5M-GE which is a 2.8 INLINE sixan is rear wheel drive and it is only 1600 bucks just imagine the swap you could do a 7MGTE or a 2JZGTE and have a streetable daily driver and a badass sleeper and fuck cressida aftermarket support you could use supra parts
id juts get a 240 because they're cheap, there are a lot of parts for them, and they're RWD
since i only paid $1200 for my RX-7 w/ 60k miles.i think u could find a good one for that,or maybe a T2 that needs little work
yeah RX-7 is good too
yo just dont want to be "another civic"
but then again 240s are becomming common also
'but then again 240s are becomming common also
yes they are but if you really want to be different then turbo the ka24de instead of doing the run of the mill s13 sr20det swap. Or if you want to go turbo without buying/making a kit swap in the ca18det, there pretty cheap. Less then a grand and they make decent power.
also look at a jetta/golf with the 1.8T motor. Most easily tunable motor out there!
start off with a honda
go with an old bmw, like a 1986. ive driven a 5-speed 3 series of that year and they are alot quicker than i thought and it was completely stock, and you don't see a modded bmw's to often and the body style looks great IMO
yeah I been looking at those but it just seems hard to find one in alright shape or is it just me?

try this...i know its ebay, but helluva clean bmw that will probly sell for 2k and i think they are 2.7L 6-cylinder=fun, and in the future you could turbo it...i want one now damn
damn thats clean, but how old do you have to be to have a paypal account? You need one to bid right?
just get ur parents to do it if ur not 18...
that might be a problem with my dad b/c he bought me my t-bird and now I'm on my on with this kind of stuff. I mean I can ask but I'm 99.9% sure ebay is out of the question.
Dude get a 240sx...fun cars...ive had hondas (have a '03 s2000 now) and ive had nissans (both a '92 240sx and '93 300zx). The 240sx was prob the most fun to drive out of all of them (besides the s2000) but its your decision. Parts are cheap on the 240 and they are just as reliable as hondas imo. plus you have the option of either swapping in an rb (cheap option) or sr (better option) or turboing the KA motor (also fun!). You can pick up a decent 240sx for around 2 grand which gives you about 1k leftover to play with! I saw a decent s14 for sale for $2900 in the for sale thread. Already kitted and tinted and painted black.
if u worried bout insurance,i was 17 with my 7 and insurance was low as hell
wtf is a 7
Mazda RX-7....a way funner stock car to drive then a honda or 240wtf is a 7
swap a 240, go have some fun. spend about a $4000 mark on the entire project. just get rid of that domestic POS.
OTHER
I say go with a mazda miata. Its cheap, always convertible, always manual transmission, extremely lightweight. I've seen and heard of some insane swaps and crazy power out of some of these. The aftermarket isn't quite as big as the hondas, but there is a pretty good amount of support. RWD!
plus not a whole lot of people have them +1
yep and very easy to drive
hows ur xfire?
you should go with an accord...i know someone who has a hot acccord for sale!
well I think I've made up my mind, it pains me to say I've chosen a civic but alas I have. But I think it would be the smartest choice with its reliability, cheap parts...
accords are better*runs away*
buy my car!
Go with a 1st gen Altima- 93-97... Best cars... they are fwd 240s
PIC TOO BIG
You pussy footing around with all these little 4 bangers and you have a Mustang with an independent rear suspension already. Well, really, you have a Mark VIII without air ride and the weight. Which means find you a Mark VIII's 32v DOHC V8 (you know, the one with 290 hp?) and mate it with a Tremec T56, limited slip from the Mark, custom make the shaft, throw some Ford racing cams in it, and chip it and you'll destroy quite a few cars on top end. And you'll still pay the same insurance without the mustang premium.
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
I have a V6 not a V8 with 145HP(like 105 at the wheels) not 290 and it weighs about 3,700lbs with me in it(LOL what a boat). And theres also one other problem I would have to get a SC to have a manual which I really would like to have( I'm not buying another auto, atleast not now). A V6 SC sounds real nice just out of my price range.(keep in mind I'm 16 working at Gamestop)
if i was u with money and wanting a 5speed fun car..id go ether mk1 MR2,RX-7 or Miata
Ok, let's try this again. I go slower. Since you have a car on the same chassis as a Mark VIII, get rid of your V6 and swap it for the Mark VIII's 32V Intech V8, that one does have 290 hp. You find yourself a Mustang V8's transmission, the T56 6 speed manual and put those 2 together with the proper wiring harness and chip. Hell, when all said and done, it's gonna weigh as much as a Supra anyways, but with V8 power. So while you're at it, convert the rear drums to disc's, courtesy of that said Mark VIII. And when you're tired of shitting on these little 4 bangers on the highway, Turbo it at 7 psi, you'll be making more power than any other said car due to the amount of power you'll have from the start. You don't need to get a supercharged car just to have a 5 speed. It's all about going custom. Check out these links.

if I wanted to do that I would just do it to my current car, but to get it manual would be a pain b/c the tranny is longer than stock so it would need some modifaction(read that on tccoa), and then I would SC b/c rangerlee has done it on like 3 of his V6's or I would do a swap to a 4.2L from a F-150 . Trust me I have been doing research on MN12 for like the past 8 months I rather just get out of that scene. Its just seems like it would be too much time money and effort to get it where I would like it to be . I dont mind putting my time and effort in it but like I said my pockets are very shallow. But thanks any way.
EDIT: and a V8 is out of the question. Like I said before it would jack up my insurance, which I really dont want that to happen and plus gas would me more too.
I don't know about a Miata man, I'm not that small and I don't really want a 2 seater. It would be nice but it could be inconvenient.
o,ok...thats yea,all those cars i listed are small 2seaters...im bout 5'11 and i fit perfect in my old miata and 7.....but gl with wat ever u get
how much do you weigh b/c I'm tipping the scale at about 225(I got some muscle accompanied with some fat so I'm a pretty big guy LOL)
