Well what do you have to start with?

[DreaMer]

Well what do you have to start with?

Nothing really...I might be getting a '96 Toyota Crolla DX...different engine cause the last one was blewn up and a after market muffler...nothing special

[Aracheon]

Well... at least it's gonna be reliable. But you might as well give up spending money on that car if you want it fast. Your money would be much better spent elsewhere.

So your saying I should just start with a whole different car?

[Aracheon]

If you plan on doing anything but driving back and forth to school or work, yes. A 96 Corolla isn't worth your time.

Fast.
Reliable.
Cheap.

^^^Pick 2 of them. You'll never get all 3 in one package.

Want fast and cheap, but unreliable? Buy a DSM.
Want cheap and reliable, but not fast? Buy a Honda.
Want reliable and fast, but not cheap? Buy a new Corvette.

[kevino002]

welcome, and get a honda....lol

alright thanks Now I just need to start saving money :/

I guess that was what I was looking at kinda cause most of there cars are fairly cheap :)

[Aracheon]

That's because they're not fast. ;)

They can be made fast with a relatively small investment, but then you're still faced with the problem of overcoming the FWD disadvantage. Then of course, you'll wanna be faster, so you'll start spending MORE money. Then shit will break. Then you'll spend MORE money. It's a neverending cycle. :)

Just depends on what you want. 92-95 hatchbacks are relatively cheap and are lightweight. They are easy to swap motors into also. If you dont want to deal with swapping motors, I'd recommend finding a 99-00 civic si. Only problem with those are they are stolen a lot and its hard to find a good condition/stock one.

[DreaMer]

yeah stupid theives...chances are I will get a hatchback until I can save up more money for something better...what would be bad ass if I could get a 300zx...but thtas me :p

[Aracheon]

Meh... 300zx.... your money is better spent elsewhere. :)

[DreaMer]

I just like there look

[ryanman]

You need a Geo.

[Aracheon]

[Brandon]

"You too can be a RICER in as little 48 easy payments of $299" Which is far better then the competitions 48 complicated payments of $299! With my program you can be stunting at the 108th and colorado meet by next month! Show them your mad drift skill! Send money to IWANNABEARICER@COracing.com!

If you got the money. Keep the Tercel as a daily driven car. Buy a CRX shell put a turbocharge GSR w/100 nitrous (make sure to fix the internal first) Put on some beef Axle and Slick. Take it to the track and blow almost eveyone off. Sure it be one ugly thing but it sure is fast.

[nycz32]

300ZX. you can find a good 2+2 for pretty cheap. once you start needing more speed, TT motors are readily available and a swap isnt that difficult.... f this honda crap.

my advice....











Save up for an Enzo :)
