Hey guys, got a few questions and need the advice.

Ive been to other sites like superhonda, srtforums, toyota nation, and everyone says it sounds like i need a GSX.

My Project:

Im looking for a cheap, salvage, or otherwise abused car that I can build on a budget and get moderate results out of on the track/street. I already have a daily driver, so this will be a toy car. I love to run the 1/4 mile and even though most of the car community frowns on it, i mess around with stop light to stop light type activity all the time. Running 12's on the track and eating v8's on the street would be a nice addition.

I love small engines and compact cars.

Goals:
would like to aquire the car for under 4 grand.
would like to build it for 5-6g... (negotiable, it will be an over time project)
would like to run at least 12's in the 1/4 and be streatable (i dont have to worry about emissions in my area or any other bullshit calls like that)
would like the car to look and feel very nice... almost show car quality.

Is the GSX what Im looking for? Im not really a honda man, i just dont think they are attractive. Ive owned the SRT-4 and a Turbo Integra GS-R, and I dont want to go back to either of those. (too expensive)

Any Idea's or comments are welcome. Thanks for your time.
 
yea the gsx or gst would be very close to what your looking or a talon tsi thats what i have no difference except the body and i got my 95 tsi awd for 2300
 
ok. can you think of anything else that might suit? i love the way the 2g gsx looks, but i dont want to be limited to one type of car.

I see Eclipse4x4 looking around in this forum, and I know him.. his would be a great example of what im looking for.
 
For under 4K, your best just looking for a 1g, which is the first generation eclipse, talon, lasers

You want a GSX/Tsi awd, awd is a must for a straightline performance junky...

Look around the tuning guides, you will find it is way easy to hit 12's with only a few thousand in mods
