Okay, need ideas for the new ride

[Lt. Dan]

Since it looks like the RX-7 will be leaving this weekend, I've decided to look for my new toy..... But I'm not sure what I want.... Now don't go making suggestions of 20 thousand dollars cars and stuff.... I figure I've got about 5K to play with.... Ideas? suggestions? If you know of anything cool for sale locally, I'm pretty much open to anything in my price range.... Right now, I'm really leaning towards another CRX now that people are moving away from older Hondas....

early 90's civic, then build it up. Well, the CRX used to fall under the civic name back in the day. I had an 86. I loved the adjustible front end from the factory, and I dropped it an inch for the nice rake. Put 70K in a year or so, never had any big problems.

So far, I've owned 4 CRXs.... two first gen, two second gen... I only got out of them because of the huge theft problem in the area at the time.... Now that everybody is moving onto the newer Hondas, and the Blegh, 240sx... I'm interested again...

Well I had a 97 z28, That says it's an RS modle (V6) yet the also say it's a 325hp ls1. It don't ad up. And if I recall only the SS came with 325hp, the others were 310.

The RS package was the spoiler and ground effects.... It's too expensive anyways....

1st Gen Protege/323 GTX Know of any for sale?

does Brett at RP Performance still have his GTX for sale?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

get a 99 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS & make it a WRX

 

[Lt. Dan]

I WOULD consider a V8 car though... I've actually also been looking at old Caprice cop cars too...

 

[Lt. Dan]

I'd consider either..... Not looking for AWD though... In my price range, it would be too unreliable....

 

[Katya4me]

1st Gen Supra you mean a Celica?

Fadi's SCed '95?

 

[FrolessWonder]

Based on if you could find find one, a Chrysler Conquest or Mitsubishi Starion.

 

[Turtle of Time]

a 91 crx should be good, but i cant imagine someone your size fitting into that golf cart.

I would go with a RS coupe, since i've seen some for less than 7k
