PIC TOO BIG
bb4 prelude
1992-1996 Prelude do research on them, they aren't mainstream cars but are wellbuilt and great cars
^^^^Great idea!!^^^^ you can get these ludes for around 3k and the upgrade potential is awesome. Try to get the one with the h22 in it though. I can probably find you a good lude cheap if you decide to go that route.
just an update on that ebay link, that bmw sold for 1100 bucks! thats crazy, i might get one later for a dd
everything is a starter car. U need to weigh your options. FWD vs RWD, 4cyl vs 6cyl, how much parts are going to be for each car. How much power am i looking for with stock or built motor. Which is the cheapest, most reliable. This decision is up to you.
try to find friends with each car, who has the most problems, see if u can test drive them, get a feel for the cars, etc...
good luck man!
PS-i nominate any Honda/Acura. both have different look appeals but the teggy is a little faster to begin with (i think).

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, get a 240. Also, if you MUST get a Civic, get an older one. Like the very early 90's or any 80's model. Get something different. Don't be Dolly. Be you. Later, QD.

get a subaru SVX........u will be only one,and thier quic,cool cars
-B13 Sentra, N/A or mild Bluebird build
-Miata
-BMW E30
-Foxbody Mustang
-Ford Probe / Mazda MX-6
-early 90s Accord H22'd (direct swap)
Do NOT buy a 3K Jetta/Golf/A4/RX7/GS-T. Those are not budget builds.
i really dont see the draw to buying a car that will make you "Different". Thats like telling someone to not buy certain clothes but rather paint their faces white, wear all black, and dangle a chain from your wallet for the sake of being different. Then your just like every other idiot trying to be "different". The easiest way to be yourself is to test drive every car that you like and pick the most fun to drive to you. If its a 240, well cool...if its a '79 Honda CVCC, awesome, as long as at the end of the day you enjoy driving it. Ive driven what other people would call pos but i enjoyed driving them. I also have the stereotypical honda. I LOVE IT! get what you want and just make an educated decision based upon aftermarket support and the communitys knowledgable information. Just beware, this place is full of opinions and you will more readily get those than actual useful information. But the useful information is there so good luck!
If your really on a budget and want to go the dumbestic route find a ford fairmont with a v8 in it. Its the same chassis as the mustang so most things swap over. And you have a stealth ride with decent performance and low ins. Oh and you can find them cheep, like $500 cheep.
I like the accord w/ h22 swap, maybe a older rx7 or 240 with an lt-1 swap would be nice.
Thanks guys for all of your thoughts, I still have plenty of time to think about what I'm going to get, I'll probably get the new ride a little after Christmas. I'm still leaning towards some sort of Honda/Acura but I been wanting a MK3 supra for the longest but I don't think it is a wise decision to get one now, but we'll see what happens you never know...
Put off the Supra for now. Do it right later. A Honda/Acura will be much easier and much more forgiving (not leaving you stranded) than building the Supra that you would get in the same price range.
i agree with Fr33way you could build a badass MKIII but your gonna be eating cup noodles an sleeping in itor you could get a honda and eat steak every day an have a nice quick car so it's not really up to you but your pockets really
yeah I know you and fr33way are right, it would be stupid for me to try and get one now. It would probably be sitting in the drive way needing work every weekend and my budget really can't handle that.i agree with Fr33way you could build a badass MKIII but your gonna be eating cup noodles an sleeping in it
speaking of that fawk you has got a heela of deal on a MK1 MR2....shit is bad,i want it..lol
lol IMO starting with a supra is a little out-landish. you need some expierence first. 240's are cool, but require a little more cash a know how, mr2's are badass, but still need a lot of know how and expierence. i personally would start off with a honda/acura. if its a civic just put a homemade turbo kit on the d series and ride around for a while and get used to it. you can also put on a vtec head for a little better top end. if you search around you can get all this and about 210 hp safely for around 2k, maybe cheaper. if its an acura, just start with an ls turbo. theyre great engines from the factory and support boost very well. personally i would ditch the tranny with those long ass gears, but depends on what kinda car your looking to build.
but this is all just my 2 cents.
hope it helps.
o btw, i love mitsu's, but ive had 2 of them, and had countless problems with both. honda craftsmanship is far more superior, but once again....simply my opinion.
Operation "Un pimp my ride" is in progress.....
Operation "Un pimp my ride" is in progress.....
i vote MK1 MR2 or FC
got a civic!!!
a civic or integra would be the easiest to break in on imop
You only live once, maybe twice if you use the e-brake!
if u want to be different pick a car that is least voted for.
to get the job done easier....get a honda/acura.

Well, how bout I let u test drive a all stock CRX and you'll understand the go-kartness of these little cars. Little HP, little wheels, lots of people can assist u in ur needs with problems AND, u get great mpg. I'd start with a simple car like a honda/acura. I had a 1G Eclipse back in the day. It kicked ass, but it kicked my ass when it broke (3 times!!(IN A ROW)) so I settled for a Honda and turns out. I love this lil white, squared off car.
Any car that has a large after market support would do just fine
How can you stand the boinging of a piston to the Hummmmmmm of a Rotary.
You are not Fast, and you sure as hell are not furious.
I would look for a nice GST eclipse.
Pretty quick and decent looking.

Integra, they're easy to work on.
fc3s ftw.
Personally, my ideal starter car is the 240SX. It's RWD, has plenty of aftermarket support and tuning potential, and is moderately practical. Civics are practical and have good aftermarket support, but are FWD (which isn't REALLY a problem unless your seriously racing). Miatas and MR2s are RWD and have good aftermarket support, but have zero practicality. I feel like a 240SX has just enough of everything to be a good starting platform.
That's only if you want to have the same car as everyone else and don't like being different and stand out. Later, QD.

True, 240's have become sooooo... like civics now-a-days.
I'd shoot backwards and grab an old Corolla or Dodge Colt or something like that. Later, QD.

A Hyundai accent, youd be better off dropping a 4g63 in that thing.
If it were me, I would rather start out with something that everyone else has but is easier to get parts and advice for, than start out with something "different", and have no fckin idea what to do with it. Then after getting some experience on the easy car, I'd move up to something more challenging and more original.
lmao, i started with a 98 escort ZX2
crx = cheap, reliable, easy to build, and tons of options
