yea, i know they dont compare to 180's or silvia's........

but he's on a tight budget and only has about 4-5 grand to throw around and needs a car............what else do u rekon there is for that price??

i thought it was better than anything else he could get for that price!!!!
and as you said put in an SR20 and it'll fly!
do u know anything about the standard times/speed of them? or duz n e one?

nah haven't heard anything much..

For a car that's apparently an excellent driver's car, have a look at the Fiat X1-9... Or, if you can handle the extreme 80's styling, I had a Subaru Vortex Turbo, and it was one of the most fun cars I've driven. (they're under 4 grand now) Apparently you can boost them up to 15psi on the stock computer and turbo too :) (that's from 6psi standard)

Parts are pretty cheap and easy, coz parts are interchangeable from most of the subarus of the era... still, it is the "enemy" :)

Yeah I had a 260Z 2 seater before the Vortex, was also a damn cool car, but they all rust like anything, so you're looking at around 8k for a properly restored one...

Both the X1-9 and the TR7 would be pretty fun cars to drive, but neither are that quick..

The TR7 will be full of rust, tell him to shop around and get a Sprinter and whack in a 4AGZE. Trumpy's are cool but rare to find without terminal rust and expensive when restored.

Go a datto 1600 and shove a sr20 in the guts
cost of car about $2000 cost of motor $2000
a kick arse car for $4000

Righto, what about rust, all the little things when building a car, engineers certificate. Upgrade of brakes etc. Theres more than meets the eye. That and a Sprinter handles better

Yeah a sprinter would be cool, one of my friends has one with a 4age, i keep telling him to make it a t (turbo) i.e 4agte but he is still thinking, he loves it too and its a funky car. :D

Post subject:  CAR
4-5 grand to spend!!! can get a way better car for that much! i bought my last car (CA18DET 180sx + mods) for $4,000, and yes it was complied, running, in good condition, and 120,000k's on the clock!!! beat that! anyway im straying from the topic. i would suggest he shops around for a good car, it is possible to find a silvia or 180 for that much, trust me! but an AE86 sprinter would be an awesome option also!
