hpfiend Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Hey all- As a potential next project vehicle... Must have good aftermarket support, large enthusiast base, and be relatively affordable... you know the type where unmolested becomes a key buyers term... What I am thinking so far: 1. Mustang (5.0 fox preferred) 2. Camaro/Firebird (LS1 preferred) 3. Porsche 944 Turbo 4. E30 BMW 5. Miata 6. FB/FC RX7 7. 1G DSM and 2G closely behind 8. Corvette\MK4 Supra\FD RX7 9. Impreza WRX 10. R32 11. 300ZX TT 12. 240SX 13. 3000 GT VR4 Edited December 30, 2010 by hpfiend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Add E30 and remove porsche 944, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 B5 S4 LOL It meets all the requirements, even relatively inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 My choices will probably get many laughs from those on here but my dreams are: 1. Honda Powered Mini B-Series AWD would be my choice. When I get bored add a super/turbo charger. 2. AWD Integra Using a drivetrain from a CRV Both have a large aftermarket support as every ricer has one (driveline) and they are collectors (mini body). AWD is my next dream toy as I have had FWD and RWD. Gas mileage and power can be had from both and both are "sleepers". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentStateTsi Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Evo 8 or 9? I know you said affordable but you have the mk4 supra and rx7 listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 change t-type out for small block chevy/ls1 powered g-body the chassis stuff is affordable either way, but turbo buick parts are anything but cheap if you want it to stay together for very long....

Crossle Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Cheap? Datsun 240Z...damn near anything fits in these Nissan 240sx....Sean has the mounting stuff for a LS1 in the swap meet section to put this together. GC8 Subaru Impreza...newer 2.0 swap, baby WRX MKIII Supra - XJZ swaps, XUZ V8 swaps In my book anything post 1990ish European is "expensive" if you want to do it right and make good power unless you are pulling the stock motor and going American V8. This year break obviously depends on the manufacturer as well it varies. I would loose the T-type, the Supra if you want MKIV, the RX7 if you want FD, and the 951 lol. 944 is cool if you go LS1, but good 951's are tough to find under 10K.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 what do you plan to do with it? for mid-ohio type racing, I can't see a better option than a 951. I saw a couple of those up there when I did lapping days and i think "shit eating grin" is probably a standard feature on those cars. edit: also S50B30 swap into e30 M3 ftw.

V8 Beast Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Evo 8 or 9? I know you said affordable but you have the mk4 supra and rx7 listed. This. Evo 8 would be my choice (older so a little less expensive than the 9) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmann Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Mk 4 Supra TT 300Z R32 B3 Quattro Coupe 20V B3's don't have a large fanbase, they have a cult fanbase. R32's are fun, but the wheelbase is so short with a lot of power + a track they become a top. B5 S4's are nice for a comfortable, modernish, and fun/quick but you have to be meticulous on maintaining them and the fanbase is full of spoiled punk asses anymore. 944 Turbo will nickle and dime you. I think you should combine your Miata and RX-7 into one and get a 13BTT to put into a miata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 best bang for the buck would be your corvette imo. The horsepower and handling ratings would cost thousands on any other car just to maybe get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
