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.

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
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?

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?

How? That is better mileage than a brand new AWD DSM. How do you keep it so high especially with all those mods?

[Guest]

for what its worth, my wrx gets MUCH better gas mileage after all my mods than it did before....best I got before I started modding: 19mpg, best since: 27mpg
