New Car Ideas

[3ftcivic]

So I recently Sold my CRX and I am looking to scoop up another car for before winter starts becuase they are cheap right now. The problem is I have NO idea what I want. I am looking for some ideas. I am open to anything really. However my budget is limited to around 5,000$. I want a car I can daily in the summer, take to a few events and have fun with, and just be fun overall.

The only thing I can really think of right now is buying a miata.

I want to try and stay away from hondas and FWD cars in general for awhile. I figured that most of you guys have driven way more cars than me so....anyone have some ideas.

[Dizmm]

Subaru 2.5rs is the perfect car for that price range.

[3ftcivic]

Any certain years I should look for?

[Getsideways]

the 240sx is a fun rear drive car along with the ae86 a few older muscle cars and old body style rx7

[3ftcivic]

I feel the 240sx is a bit overdone in my opinion, and just not for me. Awsome car, just not my style.

The AE86 is Super Super expensive to modify, maybe I would still look into one.

And the RX7 is a possible Idea, Bad MPG's though. I would like to find an FB chassis GSL-SE model with the fuel injected 13b, all wheel disks, and factory LSD.

[Pointdsm]

3-series BMW. I bought my 325is for under 2k. Sure it has 170k, but runs great with proper care.

[Dizmm]

Any certain years I should look for?

99 or 2000.

[devlish]

subi

[3ftcivic]

I am having a hard time finding one for around 5,000$ but I will keep looking. If anyone sees one let me know.

[Talon]

I have a friend selling his rx-7, its the older boxier style, I forgot what year, if you are interested pm me your number and I will have him get ahold of you.

[Pointdsm]

^^^ Is it a 1g rx7 or a 2g?

[Talon]

Im guessing a 1g, I have only seen 1 picture of it. I had told him to email me the details of it and pictures, but still waiting for him to send that to me.

[Pointdsm]

Well...give me a year please? There are 3 generations of rx7's, but I know your not talking about a 3rd gen.

[Talon]

I remember it looking similar to this: http://www.msprotege.com/members/Natey/RX-7/RX7_HKS.JPG (http://www.msprotege.com/members/Natey/RX-7/RX7_HKS.JPG)but I could be mistaken

[Pointdsm]

Oh, nevermind then.

[EVILUTION]

What about an older supra?

http://www.lopato.org/jerry/pic/supra92/supra03.jpg

Or (Recommended)

Toyota MR2

http://www.dragtimes.com/images/13964-1992-Toyota-MR2.jpg

[3ftcivic]

Talon- I am going to pass on your friends car, I am looking for an older one.

Older supra's seem a bit to big for me.

MR2's seem like they would be fun. Anyone ever drive one of those.

[Posihead]

I agree with PDSM, go with a BMW!

Yes. Fun.

[devlish]

^2. anyone remember brents MR2? that was a fun car!!!! and looked badass too.

[Ten2doyle102]

If you go with an RS, just try to stay away from the 98's, unless they have paperwork of the headgaskets being replaced. Major issues with those motors which I am find out the hard way right now!

[benben84]

Why replace headgasket when you can drop an EJ257 in it :)

[devlish]

probably cost. just my guess.

[benben84]

probably cost. just my guess.

yep, but ultimately that car deserves that engine as it's by far the best looking model!

[TomKat]

That car was awesome.

Or save yourself a lot of grief and just buy the car the EJ257 (whatever the hell that is) came in.

[benben84]

You must just be a driver, anything that deals with grease or tools it sounds like you shy away from...

[devlish]

^ becuase then you have problems... and i'm with tom and a lot of others on here... i'd prefer to DRIVE my cars these days rather than work on them. not that i'm scairt to work on them, i just hate doing it.

[Getsideways]

Its rewarding to have a bit of both something YOU built and worked on but it does have its downsides if you have better things to do woth your time ,, most people do

[3ftcivic]

Was this MR2 turbocharged?


Anyone ever drive a porsche 944? Turbo model? Know anything about them?

Story time...

Today I made a road trip 6.5 hours each way from Oshkosh WI to Mason City Iowa and back. Sooo I already went against my " No Honda/FWD" Idea. It was one of those to good to be true deals on a 1988 CRX HF. Looked Rust free, clean paint, clean title, semi low mileage.....*cough*314WHP*cough*. Price dropped from 5,000$ to 2,500$ he Needed to sell the car within next few days to pay for a "school loan". Whatever. I am the first guy to be able to come with cash in hand the next day, so he reserves the car for me. I get there and Long story short....It had some major issues.

Caked on bondo on both quarter panels. ranging in thickness from 1 to 2 inches.(major point of the ad was saying this car was 100% rust free)

Entire Engine Bay coated in Oil. First He said it was only a valve cover gasket. Then he said it was Valve cover breathers, that should go to a catch can but he didnt have one.

So then I look inside and the car is 3 different colors. Just trashy interior.

Nick B(black Focus) Came with me and he noticed that in the hatch of the car where the spare tire should go was all crunched in, it had a new rear bumper support, and the owner said they cut out a patch of the roof due to rust. All of these things pointed to a pretty hard rear end collision. Guy denied everything.

I go for a ride in the car with the owner driving on its 110 octane tune. We make it about 2 miles and I watch the temp gauge start to creep up, He said that gauge was broken if you hit the dash it will work. We rips through some gears, no traction at all. 1st all the way through 4th. It was overkill and did not appeal to me. Maybe I could turn the boost down.

I attempt to rig up the car so I can test drive it, thinking it should only take a few seconds bolting down my pedals seeing they were still set in my old CRX's specs. Of course for some reason they do not even get close to fitting this car. Takes me almost 30 mins to get them almost on. I am almost done when Nick yells from under the car saying that he is finding little holes all over the back over the car, they go straight into the car and are about the size of a finger. That was it, screw this guy who I specificly asked " will this car make it back to WI". No way in hell it would have made it back, even if it did I wouldnt have made it back because the car is so damn loud that I would have went insane and killed myself after 2 hours.

I just wanted an Uber Clean 88 CRX HF. Screw the turbo shit. I just wanted a 100% rust free car like the guy advertised, a car that was going to make the 5.5 hour drive back no problem. I just needed to rant super long day of just bullshit.

Refrence Picture. Looked super clean to me. Damn bondo.

No such thing as a rust free CRX.

That sucks. It does look nice in that picture.

Porsche 944 - avoid those cars like the plague.

The MR2 was turbocharged.

A buddy of mine has a RHD converted 1992 MR2 that needs to be I think? painted, reassembled, and is missing some parts... Car has been sitting for a few years. He just wants rid of it... Long story... I'm not sure of what kinda price he wants off hand.

[98hombre]

vr4's can make some wicked power on mainly stock componets but they weight a lot! i know a few ppl with some nicely built ones if you do consider one tho.

These cars are money pits...hard to get parts for. I'd steer clear of a VR4 by all means.

yup. If its going to be your DD and only car, reliability should be your #1 priority.

Subarus aren't any more reliable than any other car.

[abot316]

No such thing as a rust free CRX.
then the ones I looked at in Socal 2 years were figments of my imagination

[3ftcivic]

Alright guys, thanks for all of your info. You are helping me out a lot.

3000gt is to big and heavy for me, the one posted seems like a good deal though.

The two main cars I am looking at right now seem to be the 94+ Miata and the Subaru....

If anyone finds an RS for cheap let me know, I am having a hard time.

[abot316]

www.craigshelper.com (http://www.craigshelper.com)

[EVILUTION]

...did a search for rust free + CRX... nothing!

[Dizmm]

Subaru SVX. probably pick this up for $1500 without the fancy wheels.

http://appleton.craigslist.org/cto/1420725206.html

[3ftcivic]

Not a fan of the SVX, Or auto transmisions.

[3ftcivic]

So here are some cars I have found so far...

BMW 325i
http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/1421276226.html

Miata
http://greenbay.craigslist.org/cto/1415966281.html

Better Miata- I am really leaning towards buying this car.

[devlish]

last miata looks best of all. forget the turbo'd one, why would you want to buy someone elses problems? and the BMW? oh-god.

[3ftcivic]

Mustang? A bit of a different car than I was looking for, anyone know anything about these.

You've always talked about getting a miata, just get one!

[TomKat]

Miata? I thought 3Footer was straight.

[VPT]

The S2K swap should help straiten him out.

[benben84]

Having driven a Miata I would recommend one. They fit exactly what you are looking for; smaller, light weight, 5-speed, DD, reliable, cheap. They are pretty darn fun to drive! They do however have horrible cabin/road noise because it's just sheetmetal between your seat and the rear wheel wells.

[3ftcivic]

One of the major reasons I don't want a miata....But whatever I like HSWT's(Hot Sluts With Tits) so its all good, sorry to get you all excited TK. ;)

Anyone have an opinion on that mustang? Those are one kind of car I truely know nothing about, but 300hp with matching torque sounds tempting.

[austinj06]

Anyone have an opinion on that mustang? Those are one kind of car I truely know nothing about, but 300hp with matching torque sounds tempting.

Id stick to the miata instead of that mustang. Stock n/a v8 mustangs are slow as shit! Ive beaten up on a stock V8 Stang with my little 180hp TT...granted he was an auto, but still...no balls unless you build it up. Even the new ones are weak sauce. Jarred and I test drove a stock '06 V8 Mustang..crap! No power band at all. The only mustang worth buying is a supercharged mustang!

For what you want in a car, the Miata will fit the bill a whole lot better than any slow heavy stang ever will!

...no offence to any Mustang owners on here ;)

[EVILUTION]

If you could spare another grand... you could probably find an SRT4 for about $6k.

Low mileage ones are selling for $8000.

[3ftcivic]

An SRT is a decent Idea, and a decent platform too. However its FWD and a bit more than I want to spend. So most likely not.

If I spend any extra money I would take out a small loan and buy a cheap S2K through a buddy who goes to those car auctions.

[Mr. Fuji]

Go with A Miata. There reliable, well built, mostly summer driven, so many arnt to rotted.
They are a BLAST to drive.

Subie 2.5 RS at or under 5 k will be hard to find in a non-junk condition.
(Dont be scared to change headgaskets, no big deal)

BMW's are way cool. But, under 5k, .......get a beater Toyota to drive while studying the proper German car repair procedures. Any deviation and you will be shot!!!

[ragdoll]

Get a Honda CRX

[VPT]

A red one.

[devlish]

Miata? I thought 3Footer was straight.

has he never offered to sell you one of his porn videos yet??

[3ftcivic]

Does anyone know how it works when buying a car from a dealer? Like Can you lowball them on their price? I have never bought form a dealer before, and am wondering if I can drop that price a few hundered.

You can do anything you want. Then they will say I have to ask my manager and if they say no you leave and go to the next place.

Mr. Fuji has the right Idea. '00 and '01 RSs have limited slip rear diffs, so I prefer them over a '99 or '98. The DOHC '98 models were known to have HG issues, but they've straightened them out with an updated headgasket design which I have had no issues with so far in any of the cars I've installed them in. It is not that hard to do to change one in those cars. Finding one in decent shape for under 5k will be a bit of a challenge, but it can be done. look for rust around the wheel well on the rear fenders.

A miata would be fun. I have a 2.5RS, and am looking at getting a cheap miata myself to do some modding to and beat the crap out of.

Either one of those cars would be cool.

[TomKat]

Dealers are professional sellers. Look them straight in the eye and lowball the shit out of them. Then when they counter offer say: You're breaking my balls here.

[StephaniEvo]

^exactly. Dealers can always do better, but you have to make them do better.

[Getsideways]

If your buying from anyone local let me know i might be able to help you out as i work weekly with the managers and owners of basicly everyone in the area

[devlish]

i bought my last 3 expensive cars from dealers... and got better pricing on 2 of them. the lexus i didn't but i was stupid and really wanted the car!! so i paid what he was asking becuase i couldn't find exactly what i wanted anywhere else! i tried like hell, but he wouldn't budge. and after looking for 3-4 months for that exact list of options, i swallowed my pride and bought the car anyways. owell, i loved that car!

but yes, you can wheel and deal with dealers just the same. but like TK said, look them straight in the eye and show you're not intimidated by them. you might need to stand on a chair or two to do that, but it'll be worth it! :-)

[devlish]

PERFECT!! '99 2.5RS, LOW MILES! wish i could afford it, i'd buy it!
http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/1416390728.html

[3ftcivic]

Wow, nice find. Its a bit out of my price range though.

On saturday I am heading to chicago to look at that miata.

I will try and lowall the dealer. We will see what happens. If I just keep repeating that he is breaking my balls here maybe he will let the price drop a bit.



Off topic kinda but I am supposed to mention on this forum that the red waupaca SRT is going to be out for action hard next year. Also wanted me to mention how that car is one stage 3 with toys or some shit whatever that means, with the stock clutch from factory.

[devlish]

nick was at S3 i think. hmmm....
anyways, i bet you could get that 2.5RS for under $6k for sure.
i like the 2.5 better than the miata anyways, more car, less miles, more "straight" factor.

[EVILUTION]

If you are a 2.5RS enthusiast then this might be just the car for you but I just don't see the draw to these cars. I'd much rather have a 98-99 GSX.

[3ftcivic]

The 2.5 rs is a much more badass car, but asuming I could go get it for 5500 that is still 2000$ more than I am most likely going to pay for the miata.

Yes the miata has some identity issues, but I can fix that with some suspension components, a low offset wheel, and a smoking hot bitch sitting in the passenger seat at all times.

I cannot fit in a DSM the seats are to low and the dash is to high.

Yes sir.. Stage 3 with toys, and supporting mods and extra bolt ons. While a S3 SRT 4 is no laughing matter, it won't hold up well on the stock clutch at those kind of power levels, mine lasted 1500 miles after I went to Stage 3.

Speaking of Stage 3 SRT 4's. My old car is going to be stage 3 again also, new owners just purchased a stage 3 kit. Should be interesting.

[3ftcivic]

Yeah, I guess thats a bad thing. That red car has always been stage 3, he is just saying that it has been on the factory stock clutch, but now after getting it changed it will be a different car. He will be willing to race this next season.

i want a 4door. no more 2drs right now. and too much $$ for me now.

[3ftcivic]

So. The dealership that miata was at just called me to let me know that it sold this morning....Damn. Maybe its a sign.

[devlish]

must be a sign. no worries. there are more miatas out there. at least you didn't get all the way down there and then they say they "forgot to call you last night and tell you it sold" (don't ask how i know this...)

[Posihead]

Yeah, it's a Honda... Really good price on it, and it's a un-riced stock Honda at that!

[northsydryd]

i seen that awhile back .i had an 86 gti and it was fast as shit.this car would be plenty to keep him occupied for a long time.they take alot of abuse and run realy fast

[3ftcivic]

That VW is not my style at all. I had a jetta with the 2.0 8v. Very slow car. Even if it was supercharged it would still be slow.

Here was my jetta. Needless to say I do not have it anymore.

Bah, "Two oh too slow", not worth it. Looks nice though!

[firehazard]

Thanks for listing that, but not for me. Trying to stray away from Hondas and FWD in general. That ad looks like something Dan Delong would write. "Small Oil leak" when there really is a whole in the block. LOL.

Anywho...I want a car, more offers or ideas?

What got into your head that your talking crap about me. You sold your overpriced pos now buy something else. Tic Toc winters comin

[3ftcivic]

First off I’m not “talking crap” I am simply stating facts. You tried selling a 1988 - 1991 Honda Prelude with an obvious hole in the block saying that it had an oil leak and you didn’t know whats was wrong with it. I saw the ad, no need to get fussy about the facts.


If you consider my car overpriced that’s your opinion and I am fine with that. The car DID sell and I got what I was asking for it, so I think I must have done something right. Also If you consider my CRX a POS that’s fine, I’ll let you know that I consider my CRX a far nicer car than anything I have ever seen you drive. Everyone is entitled to a opinion and that’s mine.




I'll see you in the desert next month. Be ready to have your ass handed to you……

[firehazard]

wow thats all I can say. Im glad that you just have opinions and no facts.

[3ftcivic]

When people are posting warnings on craigslist not do deal with you, you must be fucking something up...


Anywho, Anyone find any other cars around?

[Posihead]

sweet, I always wanted an all trac. I had an ST that had the same sway bar rust problem he's talking about. No good. stupid toyota rust.

[Posihead]

And the RX7 is a possible Idea, Bad MPG's though. I would like to find an FB chassis GSL-SE model with the fuel injected 13b, all wheel disks, and factory LSD.

Here ya go Shorty! Ask and you shall receive! http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/1425856932.html

Hey thanks for all of these links. That all trac is pretty cool.


As for that RX7 I have tried contacting that guy 2 times and no response. I want that car! Super nice find.

A Galant VR4. G thang baby....

[TomKat]

So when are we going to match up?

CRX vs. Galant

[3ftcivic]

How about next spring? I already put the car into storage for thw winter, and it is not registered.


While we are at it lets make it Galant Vs EVO.....not CRX.


Oh boy! Adjustment time!

[TomKat]

Spring? So long from now.

You have to beat the CRX before you can step up to the EVO.

[jdm_ek_wanabe]

will you settle for my civic? lol

[3ftcivic]

Spring? So long from now.

You have to beat the CRX before you can step up to the EVO.

I really wish I could have re-raced your CRX before I sold mine, it went a long way since I had raced you the first week I had it. I think it would have been a much closer race, but I guess we will never know.


All I have to say is to have the EVO waiting after the CRX race. :)

And JDM EK wannabe, We will match up sometime.

I wish I could afford to drive the car right now and have it registerd, but I can't I am very poor. Plus the car right now is not fast at all, my old CRX was much quicker. The Galant needs a bit of love before it can be fun and somewhat realiable. I could throw a boost controller on the car and say screw it, but I want to make it reliable before being fast.....Yes I know sounds impossible but I am going to attempt it.

Haha, I remember this my first time out....I lost :(
