Im wanting suggestions for cars that are RWD, have good HP potential, are a manual, and are pretty cheap....there for leaving money to do HP upgrades along with suspension and wheels!

    MR2s have super strong blocks, hard to work on but, are rather special being mid engine, really cool cars.

    maybe a 240? i dont particularly like them, but it kinda fints what you want...

    i say go for the miata, Roadsters are soooo fun to drive.

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.

    I think ima stick to my miata idea... the ins. is cheaper than a m3... and its a cheap car...you can find one with 76k on it for around 6-7k.... skylines? some people seriously dont know how to read. And you couldnt get a skyline for under 20k...not even a 32! And no skyline is federally legal other than in FL GA and SC.... you gotta pay 1,500+ to get it completely registered! :jerkit: Id rather drive something thats legal than getting in trouble. :jerkit: I owned a celica.... yall must think im rich!

    PLEASE READ MY FIRST POST BEFORE SAYING ANYTHING ON HERE!
    WANTING TO:
    -Purchase a car for under 10k
    -wanting to do minor HP upgrades
    -wanting a manual
    -RWD
    -Cheaper insurance.
    IF YOU DO NOT READ THIS AGAIN...I feel sorry for some of you dumbasses....LEARN TO READ FOR FUCKS SAKE!


    Black paper.... Well for a miata wise... I was thinking supercharged, suspension, wheels, lightend fly, stage 2....etc.etc. whats your opinion?

    Wow.. you don't have to yell at people.. I am sure they can read... and you never said anything about cheaper insurance in your first post or actually any of your posts before you yelled about it in larger font... but in case you havent figured it out yet, everyones gonna voice their opinion regardless of the specifications you listed... its a public forum Oh and my 2 cents... i wouldn't want to give advice to someone who always yells at people for giving their two cents when you originally asked for it... you always yell at people when they dont give you exactly what you asked for to the tee.... does it matter really?? you asked, they responded.. quit bitching everytime you don't get the exact answer you requested!! Yeah there are dumb people out there that might not read something right or what not but geez, give room for freakin human error.. i mean, hey we give you credit, lol... just something to think about...

    Insurance BS I can understand... but the human error of posting something that logically is out of my financial range....esp. when it was posted before.... doesnt make sense. I do have alot of human error- but I try to stick to what the main post pretains 2.

    Ummm i was kidding with u when i said a skyline. i dont know shit about Registering skylines, but i do know one thing...If im not mistaken, Atlanta is in GA. You never said shit about insurance either. I was simply making a joke about the skyline. U can find e36 M3's for 6-10k. I believe from what you posted that that is in your price range. The stock handling is better than a slightly mod'd miata's and the stock horsepower is like almost triple the miata's stock? I personally think a miata is an excellant idea. Not many people have cleanly mod'd miata's. But anyways...sorry i tried to give you ideas.


    Oh and like i said, i dont know shit about registering skylines or or importing them, but i found this site...95 skyline..17,500.

    Insurance is a big thing. You can get a OLDER e36 about a 89 or something for around 6-10k.... you can get a 94 or so with 125k miles on it for 11k.... I also said I want something with low mileage... IE: under 100k...that way the car still stays good! Im sorry I snapped, just getting frustrated with alot of shit lately. I dont think I want a 240... too much of a common thing now, and they keep getting more expensive due to the "im a drifter too" fad. And id wana do a motor swap- I dont want a car where im going to invest more into it than I paid for it...

    Tough decisions...all great idea's. Anymore?
    Thanks
