<![CDATA[time to say good bye to the talon]]>well its official my dsm cost more to maintain then i can afford. so what do you guys think i should look at getting that cost in the neighborhood of 10,000 dollars or less? i'm looking for something sporty, good on gas mileage, and fast enough to at least hold its own against a stock gsx

Good Tuning (deadtime and global for injectors), Big turbo (never spooling while just cruising) and I dont get on it all the time. Oh and for the highway, 25% taller TRE 5th gear. 🙂

I was uder the saaumption that when you mod your gas mileage goes down but maybe that is with N/A applications only.

If you buy a civic get an early year hatchy, and an sr20 powered 240 is already turbo, rearwheel drive, and about the same price as a dsm to mod. My buddy did alot of research on them. If you get a 240 you can do an S15 front end conversion. Just some suggestions. 🙂

Never read up on them too much, but they seem to be very mod-able ,and buying a newer car ,you will only run into a few weaknesses in the car, vs early 90's super-cars like DSM's and civics :rolls eyes: where you have rust, wear and tear, and stuff like people not changing oil for 20,000 miles(buick) Right kevin?

Nissan SE-R w/that swap perform pretty well and are pretty sleeper.

It'd be slow for a while, but at least it shouldn't break.

Good looking car, but no way on earth it will even be in the same zip code as an AWD DSM speed wise. How bout a 2001 with a real motor for just a .......fraction more.
