EG CIVICS! WOOT WOOT!!!
that is mostly because the "import" population is starting to mature and grow older, with age generally comes money, with money comes nicer cars.
:boobies:
dont forget turbo'ed pinto's
those are making a hella comeback
trythefly
-----------------------
I think that list is right on. And RSX should be added to the list

no i agree but the scene as a whole seems to of matured as far as car selection goes... i remember going to an event and seeing the civic, crx, accord classes broken down by years b/c of all the cars, now a days you will only find a honda class if its broken down that far. not that i'm not complaining b/c i love looking at different cars, i remember going to events looking at 100 hondas and 50 other carsOriginally Posted by Spyder Man
Legacy. LEGACY.
^hell yeah!! the EG's never die!! but seriously the list looks about right though.EG CIVICS! WOOT WOOT!!!
i remember those days to, i cant say i miss them. i dont like a buildup of any one car in particular..no i agree but the scene as a whole seems to of matured as far as car selection goes... i remember going to an event and seeing the civic, crx, accord classes broken down by years b/c of all the cars, now a days you will only find a honda class if its broken down that far. not that i'm not complaining b/c i love looking at different cars, i remember going to events looking at 100 hondas and 50 other cars
:boobies:
srt-4s are taking over conyers.
all the camaro's finally broke down??
:boobies:
bahhhall the camaro's finally broke down??
hahaha yeah. i lonly see a couple of those runnin around here now. mustangs still popping up like new cases of HIV.
Add in the Toyota Prius. I seen like 20 of those with all types of rims on them. The ballas r trying to save gas now.
Supra (of course)
I always wonder why the Acura TSX doesnt get more attention, I think they have a lot of potential
RX8's look good..
I think because most people looking to mod/race an Acura with that motor is going to end up in an RSX-S.
And anyways, for around the same $$$, you can get an Evo or LGT or Sti or something.
My list of "hot" rides are the old school shit. Datsuns, pre 80's Toyotas and Hondas. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
I think newer rx-7 and skyline GT-R when it comes out in 2007 as infinity.
that would be the thing in few years, as evo wrx slowly falls down in hype.
"hot" meaning they are popular I'd have to say WRX...just go to any northpoint meet and it's not hard to find out...
this is from SELOC sunday, just as many if not more in the spectator parking.
You dont have an EG.. you have a EJ ... In true reality, I don't think theres a EG (JDM) 2 dr Coupe In japan? Not sure though.
I may be wrong though.
Since when are the s2000 and 1.8t's Old cars? Those should be up there with the newer cars.. and actually the 1.8 t shouldnt be up there with those cars. STOCK TO STOCK is out of there playing field.
1.8t STOCK, should be down there with the the BASE RSX OR NEWER SI's Market and shit like that, Now when it comes to upgrades is a diffrent story. the 1.8 becomes a monster.

I forgot to mention.. People are mostly groupies when it comes to car. Most wont admitted, But we mostly are...
I see lots of Subarus, cause they are CHEAP. you can buy a used WRX for $17K and a Used STI for around 21-22K. Same with Evos and SRT-4's. they are cheap and fast cars.
nowadays everyone is going turbo, and these cars appeal the most to those people looking for new, powerfull cars for a good price.
Plus , as time moves on, so does the older cars. remember, an EG civic is AT LEAST 10 years old now. thats a decade. they stopped making them in 1995. so we will start to see more and more turn up in junkyards, get wrecked etc. the numbers are dwindling, just like the EF/ED. extremely hard to find. they are at LEAST 14 years old (stopped production in 1991).
Integras were made until 2001. so you still see alot of them around.
Bottom line was 5-7 years ago, if you want a fast car, you got an Import like a Honda with a GSR swap. no domestics were fast (SRT-4). If you wanted a turbo car you got a mitsu, and prayed it wasnt a 7 bolt motor, and the AWD eclipses were expensive, and slow (96+).
there wasnt alot to choose from back then, now theres a TON. so many good cars out in the market right now. hell, you can buy a 01 S2000 for $16K right now

I 100% agree. I don't have a taste for any of the newer cars. The WRX, EVO's, the Supras, any of them aren't doing anything to me. It's all retro for me, now. Later, QD.

I would say what you said + the RSX, Tib, and of course the Mustangs and Civcs are resprouting.
Oh yeah the Prius.
I think all the Blue cars are hot right now.
Oh and used 04 STi's go for 24-26k.
ive seen them for 21-22KI think all the Blue cars are hot right now.

sweet, you don't see that everyday, that's for sure. Post a link. Sounds like someone is selling to get rid of debt or something.
Just checked and there are 21 STi's on AT from $25k to $32k. One crack head wants $38k lol!
i can agree with money comes age. I am 20 now and have gone from a teg to a spec v to a wrx. Basically is all about who gets into the scene and when they get in.
13 FRS
89 Wrangler Sahara
91 MR2-T
As far as seeing lots of one car around, i see millions of scion xa's and xb's... and i do not know why because they a FUGLY!! and they all have rims and exhaust tips... wtf i dont get it..
FC - Death by rotary forever
CRX daily... Gas prices suck, i love my HF
Damn so what is my excuse for still driving a civic? ha ha ha ha

you are saving for your mid life crisis, the Z06
:boobies:
s2000 and 1.8t aren't really old cars but they've been around for a while w/o any real mention... the s2000 was really hot when it first came out and it died off now they are making a come back i think it seems to be the civic guys step up... as far as the 1.8t it is also old b/c the gen v 2.0L turbo are out, plus the 5 years they have been out they are now really coming around int he general import scene... and stock for stock its still faster than the rest of the fwd class in its price range. you could get base 1.8t cheaper even then the srt4 (under 20k)
What class is the 1.8 t? Passat? Golf ? GTI? The passat 1.8t is weak. STOCK But I believe is AWD? is it? Dont know much about VW's .. I think I read is 170 HP at the crank.. stock ?
The GTI 1.8 has 180 stock. Not bad, But is not the highest in its class, depending what you are comparing it to?
remember the TQ when making a comparison.
160 something... ?
:boobies:
fwd 150+hp(depends on model) to the crank dynos 150+hp/160+lbs... what does an SI, RSX, GTS or any other fwd under 20k dyno??? they aren't dynoing what the dub is... only one close would be the mazdaspeed turbo
FWD for under 20 K.. hnmm TYPE-R... Im sure around the 160 to 170 range to the wheels.. of course, TQ numbers are really weak.
