You could always try a 22R swap from an older pickup.. It won't rev near as high as a Rotary, but theyre' cheap, easy to drop in, and you'll love the torque. If you need more after that, rework the head, add a better cam and possibly a turbo... You'll outrun most of the civics you'll come across.

You know what I think will have a lot of potential? Those old Dodge Stealth (AKA Mitsubishi 3000GT) with the V6. Get a Greddy twin turbo kit and have someone re-programmed the fuel map :)

That wouldn't be too bad at all, plus the Stealth is getting to be kind of a rare car these days.. I think the stealth R/T had a twin turbo option... I don't know much about it though... 3KGT drivetrains are probably getting fairly cheap these days too...Could make for a cheap, VERY quick car..

I'm too lazy to get my liscense, I won't have a car to drive, anyways...

I would never survive without being able to drive.

thank you =]
thank you again,
and you are correct :ywave:

Take me for a ride.

I dont know too much about cars. Could someone explain to me what stock and all those terms mean?

Stock basically means un-modified, or as it came from the factory. I think the term came from a term like.. "All original, just like Factory stock"

Any other terms I could learn?

Rice Rocket = Heavily modded cars with crazy body kit....

All show, no go.....

So cars that looks really nice but run like crap?

I don't drive, but when I'm able to, I want an AE86, like in Initial D.
I also like the VW Rabbit, but unless the new one is different from the one my dad had, it runs on diesel. Bad for the environment.

Oh my god, it's perfect!

It's perfect that it's bad for the environment? :confused:

well if you see those cars with spoilers/wings on them that look like aluminum - the ones you'd see from autozone/checkers they call people like that ricers.

there cars that are for SHOW which is usually build up nice exterior but no real engine mods.

there are SHOW and Go which are basically ballers or dedicated tuners who put money into making the car look good and fast too

then there are sleepers, whose cars look like not much or less than stock looking but are fast like a bat out of hell

Diesel is better than gas... i have a 09 rabbit as well.. that thing flies....

We just bought a peugot 407 xD
That's all I know about it but it's a cool car xD

That's such a nice car.. Peugot is another one I wish I could get over here.

20b swap in a ae86 isn't worth it. sure people have done it, but why? a long time ago i use to dream of doing crazy mods to my 01 impreza coupe like an sti swap but i figured it costs as much as a newer car, and so i bought a IS300 04 cash. an old car you will get rattles and lots of time fixing what you just fixed the month before, it was a headache.



i stripped all the rear emblems and i'm buying some parts while i am in japan for my is300. and finally, yes it is a manual is300 ;)



this was my tuner car when i was a kid, i still have it. i put the japanese wrx version 6 seats in, i got the rear japanese bumper, japanese mud gaurds. i think the engine is going to die soon as it is already 185k miles :D

The Supra Turbo engine fits really nice in those IS300's :D

yup, too bad supra engines cost so much. the way i drive regularly i don't need the extra power :) it WOULD be fun, but i don't see the cost/benefits out of it until my engine somehow crap out on me. too bad the stock IS300 tranny can't handle much more than stock hp :( i'd have to swap that out too... ahh too much money...

i actrually had the option of buying my currently IS300, or spend just 5k more and get a 1992 NSX (my cousin owns a dealership)... but the benefits of a reliable and cheap fixes of the is300 was more appealing.

I am in agreement with you about the 20B swap. With the amount of work and money involved, its better to buy the performance than to build it later...

I'll agree with you there.... they are nice looking things.
And Renault if only for the Avantime....

But, what I'd most like to see over here is Daihatsu. (The copen is just such a cool car)
:rheart::rheart::rheart:

Picked up a new project today..87' s-10 Blazer..Only $100. No sooner then it gets home, it gets a new heart..Much better^^


Much better then the old 2.8l


Am I the only one that feels this hobby is worse then crack? It's much more addictive, and MUCH more fun (I think, never tried crack)

Nissan 180sx and Yamaha R6

The 93's are great.. I loved those third-generation fox bodies.. Nice and small, and light. can be real fast if you drop in a Chevy small block :mtongue:
But do you mean a 67? the mustang didn't even get released until 1964...

Not a car per se. But I'm thinking of getting a Vespa.

just got a '90 honda prelude si
thinking of making it into a project car....
>.>''
sigh... though, i think the estimate i came up w/ to restore the car to the way i want it is like $9,000 usd.....
that's not including intakes, chargers, headers, and other engine tweaks >.<''

Ouch.. Yeah, they can seem like a pit sometimes, but It'll be totally worth it once it's done..Just take your time, and try to stretch the project out for a while..Then the price tag isn't quite so bad

haha... =.='''
i just blew a tire last night....
and... just checked up how much a new one is gonna cost...
and... i'm gonna be left w/ $0.25 in my account afterwards =.=''''''

What's a reliable and economical small car choice? I haven't needed a car for years (everything within walking distance) but am thinking of getting one anyway.

Recommendations?

The last car I owned was a 2000 BMW 323i Sport Sedan. Man do I miss that car.

Now I drive a bicycle or my feet.

As far as economy goes, Honda's will probably be the best choice..The Civics, and older Integras both get great gas mileage, and there's a wealth of parts available, so repairs are usually less than that of alot of similar cars. For reliability, I would say Honda as well, but it if you are looking for something used, It could really go either way. Be sure to get a mechanic to check the car before you buy

I'm still learning, but hey, I'm driving. I get to drive a lovely silver Toyota Auris 2.0 turbo diesel. :)

My daily ride is a bicycle, though.

hi guys...newbie here....
I drive a 2002 Toyota Celsior...black on black :)
