What other car would you drive?

[95gststock]

If giveing the chance to get another car without selling your dsm, what would you pick? The years 89-99. Thinking of buying another project car. Let me know.

 

[Lofty]

Probably an AE88, a 240, or a 95 mirage to evo 3 swap.

GVR4s are nice too

 

[Ludachris]

E36 M3 probably. But an old Datsun 510 would be a fun project too, if you could find one.

E30 and E36 BMW's are cool cars, and have a lot of potential in them for projects. If you can't find or afford an M3 (E30 M3's are pretty damn rare and can cost a bundle), the 325's still are great. I really liked E30's before I got into DSM's, but I find a 325i or 325is in good shape for any reasonable price. Unfortunately, aftermarket parts for those cars can run pretty expensive too.

Civic's are obviously a choice for projects as well. Small, good suspension and light as anything. EF and EG Civic's (88 to 95) can be found for really cheap, especially the EF's. I've always had an idea of buying a cheapo stick shift EF hatch and turboing it using DSM parts left over after upgrading, like the 14b, injectors, SMIC and BOV. Could be done for real cheap, only pricey parts you would need is a manifold off ebay, an SAFC or whatever, and a wb02 for tuning. Don't even need an MBC as you probably wouldn't be able to go beyond the 14b's wastegate spring pressure.

93 mustang gt or cobra. never had a v8 car would like one to mess around with and do burnouts plus i like to looks of the fox body.

 

[91gvr4gsr]

nissan skyline,a nice s13 with 2jz swap,awd colt,mazda miata with ls6 vette swap

 

[tsidrift1]

Love to take the mitsu truck or old mighty max, throw in a 4g63 and paint it up real nice like I did my 1g!

 

[Hideki]

Hideki likes odd stuff... My '90 Corvette C4 with a 6-speed manual has been a fun project, They look awesome when they get lowered, and aftermarket support is actually really good. I also love W124 300E Mercedes and W201 190E's, My current project Merc is an '87 300E that's getting lowered, Euro lights, and a custom turbo (you can take the turbo manifold from a diesel, redrill new holes and it'll let you bolt on any T3 turbo)

I'd like to get a '91 SAAB 900 Turbo SPG. But, I'd probably end up getting another DSM.

 

[lacroixdp]

Only thing within that year range I'd want is probably an E30 M3 Rev III, a Caterham Super 7, a Renault Clio Sport, a Lotus Carlton, and an Escort GT Cosworth.

 

[RipperXX]

1994 FD3S

But with a RB26, RB30 or 2JZ





P.S. Actually I plan to make one of these two my next "long term" project. First I gota finish the DSM though :/

 

[lacroixdp]

I've always wanted to do a Z with an RB26 conversion. Those are such beautiful cars - I'd want it almost exactly like that picture.

 

[knochgoon24]

I actually want to get a 70's Honda motorcycle. Along the lines of a CL 350 or CM 400. Get it nice and cheap as a project bike and fix up. They seem to sell for $650 or less used and beat.

 

[xioca]

MkIV Supra.

 

[bagged420a]

a 300zx tt. my boss has one and its amazing, pushes 580hp at the rear wheel on stock motor and head

 

[Mitsu RacerX]

as long as i can have my dsm for when i need to work on cars/ want a loud annoying horrible to drive but fast as balls car, i would like a comfortable car with a bit of umph and a factory warranty that i know wont break down

 

[bluegs03]

whoops didnt see the years restriction nvm !

 

[95gststock]

Haha, I was like damn when did they make those cars for 89-99 I wanted to get one now

 

[mindset]

Any car? Price range?
If it were a Honda, an NSX.
Other cars would be an RX7, 240sx, some sort of cool 8 cyl.

 

[EventsCo21XL]

For a project and the years you specified, I'd love to get a EF Civic Hatchback and turn it into a NA monster. Lighten it and dust all the ricer Civics with my sleeper.

Now if I wanted a daily driver for those years, I always loved the Impreza 2.5 RS 2 Dr. Or for something of a different car, a Volvo V70R turbo wagon, Boosted fun that flies under the radar, able to haul stuff and family around. Plus used to be a big player in Euro road racing.

If money was no object, then it would have to be an MKIV Supra Twin Turbo swap motor and transmission into a Lexus SC300 and also do a full Soarer conversion

To the other member that suggested a Escort Cosworth project, props on that one.

 

[mindset]

No one said a

SKYLINE!!!

 

[Lofty]

It would have to be an R32 Murdered out in black.

 

[kersed]

I'd want a 1980 Chevrolet el camino SS with a 454 big block V-8 or a 1995 honda civic hatchback or a ford focus hatchback

 

[blue98gst]

Gotta go with a foxbody. Ive had two dsms, and each time I was shopping for a new car, I nearly got a stang. I think If I buy another car besides my talon that I have, I'm gonna pic up a 1992 Gt or LX hatchback or notch. They can be had for very cheap and they make some good torque.
