+--- Thread: Thinking of a new car... (/showthread.php?tid=2828)
- Dave - 09-22-2005
OK, to kill this discussion and get this back on track, lets just assume that whatever car I get I will dump the extra $200 and get an oil cooler. Back onto what would be a good car...
- Mike - 09-22-2005
said it once and i'll say it again...
hatch or integra
reliable, can pack tons of shit in them, parts are uberabundant and cheap, get 30+mpg to the track, a few of us here know a ton about them...
downside? fwd.
- navin - 09-22-2005
shit..
I might just sell mine cheap...
- Mike - 09-22-2005
you're all talk, go away.
- navin - 09-22-2005
if you say so.
I never drive the thing, and im sure my desire to sell it will be even more when winter rolls around and it just sits around..
- Mike - 09-22-2005
so you're scrapping those "i wanna be a race car driver" plans?
- .RJ - 09-22-2005
Well, you are all talk. At least you showed your grill at the chili cookoff.
- navin - 09-22-2005

I couldnt agree more.

He'll have a new excuse then
- G.Irish - 09-22-2005
I say SR swap for the 240. You've already got experience with it, you already have some stuff done to it, and its a good, cheap, relatively light chassis to start with.
Starting a new project is going to cost more money and time. Especially if you have to spend time sorting things out.
Look at Blair, he already did a SR swap and got it done relatively quick so you even have someone you know as a resource.
...
If you're still a glutton for punishment you could always put a LS1 in there.

Winnar!
- Mike - 09-22-2005
aside from a honda, yeah 240 with an sr swap. pretty reliable, tons of parts out there, cheap, rwd, rather light, BOOST, but nowhere to race.

Plenty of places to drift tho!
- Dave - 09-25-2005
Looks like there is a lot of support for the turbo 240, followed by the DSM crowd. Gonna be a tough decision...
