Advice appreciated!

If you really want to DD it and modify it without "worry about blowing the motor" then I suggest you skip on the DSM. They're fantastic cars and run very fast very easily. They are a pain for regular service, almost as bad as my Audi.

Your next option, the EM1 Civic: Go for it. This is a good bet. Won't get you your Horsepower ratings, but is a quick and reliable car that is fun to drive and will get you decent gas mileage if you don't drive like a ricer. There's even a few in your price range if you're willing to look for 'em.

240's: Same as with the Civic, if you want the best bang for your buck, buy a late model S14. There was one on Autotrader driven by a more senior lady who babied the car. It's auto, but on a 240 that's an easy swap to a 5-speed. The car is pristine too. Dunno if it's still around but you should look for those like it.

MR2: I dunno anything about 'em, so I'll skip it except to say I think this is probably what insurance will be highest on, but I don't know that as fact.

My suggestion: Keep the SE-R man. Why're you trading in a two year old car for an older car? What's wrong with the Spec-V?

Thanks for the advice man. I was afraid of that with DSM's, but damn I love those cars lol

The SE-R is a really good car, but I pretty much have maxed it out performance wise without going forced induction...and to be honest I am scared to put any type of kit on it because the QR25 does not seem to handle boost well. Plus...I might sound really vain...but its a sentra lol

On top of that I wanna get the car sold before it deappreciates in value any further. I will say the car is pretty fun to drive and does pretty good on gas, and I love the torque but I would also love to be able to rev past 6200 and have some top end haha

Im really leaning towards a 240 I think, maybe swap in a CA or something? I heard that swap is pretty stable and fairly inexpensive

Thanks again Kaiser
