time to say good bye to the talon

[Guest]

look on honda-tech at the cars that are forsale. then there most likey to be already sawped. but if u want to do it urself just buy a hatch and a k20 and that will beat the pants of a dsm

[bluejays]

also how fast are they stock, and how easy is it to get them into say 13s or 14s? boost is an option, but i'm looking for cost effective right now.

[Jim]

what's the saying?

pick two of the three:

fast, reliable, cheap

what do you guys think of a 99 integra gs with 32000 miles?

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.

[bluejays]

problem is i'm stretching the fraction more now by going for 10,000. maybe if i get 3,000 for my talon. then maybe.

[bluejays]

i found out it is an auto. damnit oh well.

How about a 2000 integra LS....perfect condition.

As much as I hate to say it, Spoolude has a point.
Simple Equation:
Rolling Hatch shell + K20 + Juice <10 g's
W/o nitrous, k20 in a hatch spanked supra! Video somewhere on the net.

how much did he have to invest into that k20 to be able to beat the supra though?

[PSiedTSi]

read it again...he said less than <10k with nitrous...and this was without nitrous...think about it

[bluejays]

i found a 95 cobra mustang for 10,000.

[bluejays]

anyone know of any good cars for sale in town?

[Guest]

Yeah you might as well go with a Honda because car payments are a PITA.

[adog]

If you're tired of fixing stuff, I'd probably go for a stock Honda and mod it later when you can afford to. It'd be slow for a while, but at least it shouldn't break.

[Guest]

I'd say go for a Nissan 240SX, every now and then you see one w/ a silvia SR20DET swap on autotrader for about what you want to pay.

[91nbtsi]

Now now tjamz, I might have a deal with him.

[Guest]

oh...sorry....buy from Nate, cuz HE'S THE MAN!!! heh.

[Guest]

That actually isn't too bad of an idea to go with some sort of a SR20DET powered vehicle. Nissan SE-R w/that swap perform pretty well and are pretty sleeper.

A six-speed LT1 will get better mileage than a GSX.

ha, thats a good one. My AWD Talon gets 22mpg city and 30+ hwy.

[Joel]

Also, ever thought about an Si? 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?
