depends on what you want, something that you can put a little money into and have a quick car, or something that you can do simple bolt-ons and have a tire roaster.
also, whats the budget?
depends on where ya wanna go with it...
Honda Civic (EF, EG)
Acura Integra (DA, DC)
Nissan 240 (s13)
Nissan SE-R (B13 or B14)
Miata (FIRSTGEN)
all these cars are easily affordable and easily modified and good Starter cars
within 2K-3K im workin it up
what was your starter car?Originally Posted by PURE jdm
i say sohc civic really doesnt matter eg ef ek just that its sohc motor is small enough for you to work on by yourself. also if you mess up something there are plenty of ppl on here either giving them away or selling them dirt cheap. It will also build up your confidence to get your hands dirty with a motor when you step up to the sti,evo big 240 swap stage in tuning!
I had a DC Integra GS-R, I was pretty damn fun.

lol you put a 240 in the same category as a sti or an evo.Originally Posted by JDMJAYDC2
I would say any of those cars in that list, just find something thats not going to break down on you all the time. My first "tuner" car was a civic si.
but my first car was a jeep cherokee.

In addition to what everyone else has said, also look into early 90s/late 80s 5.0 Mustangs. If you're looking for cheap power, they're the ticket.
Get you a Cavalier 4 door, you'll live longer. Fast cars for youngsters and first time drivers only make them stupid.

lol i said big 240 swap such as a 2jz or rb26 i would think its safe to say they are in the same class as far as where you can take them fairly cheaply cheap being the funny word i for one am not there yet ill stick with my dc2Originally Posted by DerrickT

you can pick up a clean good condition decent mileage for $1000-2000
occasionally you can get one with a b16 for $3000ish
They arent fast, but they are fun. An they are cheap maintanence and for a first car, this is a HUGE factor. and cheap on insurance
mods are EVERYWHERE from simple bolt ons to turbo kits.

s-10/sonoma. More bolt on parts and kits than any other vehicle in the world.

4dr civic. lots of aftermarket parts + people practically giving engines/parts away.
Just buy a civic -

Civic for the reasons stated earlier. Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, huge aftermarket. There's a reason why they're everywhere.

yeah, a family friend died in his rsx not too long ago. flipped it into a tree. im tryin to get the feel of a 5spd oldsmobile alero, them shits are stiffOriginally Posted by ruffian
my first car was a mazda mx-6.
ghet-to.
it was fun though, it taught me how to drive a 5-speed.
but i agree with the prevous person who said a crx.
i think that'd be the perfect first car, if you're into hondas.![]()
im not really a honda kinda guy, ive been thinkin about a 240 but ive seen a lot of those lately and i just dont wanna blend in

But seriously my first "tuner" car was a 94 ****subitchi Eclipse GS. Had exhaust, wheels, system. I thought I was the ****, until i hit two trees at 85mph. Seriously just get a older civic. I have a 89 Honda Civic hatchback Si, witha ZC swap, lowered on 2000 si's. So easy to find parts for, and most of the stuff is cheap.
Or Like someone else said, look for a fox body mustang....I have had 2.
