time to say good bye to the talon

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

If you buy an integra get a gsr. 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.

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

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.
