can wait-but need advice

I can wait a little longer to buy a car, but there are 3 that i have a total of 5000-6000 that i can put whatever i dont use into the engine or whatever

theres an:

85 RX-7 for 1400$

91 Prelude for 3100$

87 Integra-3100$

Dunno if those deals suck-might be able to bargain them down some-
so tell me if it good to buy--I looking for a fast car that has good 1/4 mile time.

I'm no expert... but paying $3100 for a '87 Integra seems like a really shitty deal to me.

Actually I havn't really considered the integra much yet

I'm deciding between the prelude, and rx-7-and wondering which is faster

God, I'm gonna sound so biased, but it's a fact...


I bought my classic SE-R for less than 2,000 (U.S.) dollars, and can SMOKE any of the aformentioned cars stock-for-stock. A Bluebird SR20DET will cost you between 900 to 1,400 U.S. dollars. That motor can hold up 500HP with it's stock, forged internals.


Just saying:sunglasse

Well, i guess it depends on if the the Prelude is an Si.... or the Rx-7 is turbocharged.

I'm going to assume they're both equally fast... but my $1 bet goes to the Rx-7.

dont think rx7 turbocharge, and prelude is an si, plus i want 4 seats so i prob go with prelude if i can bargain it down-DAMN

sorry to say but your choices suck. get a 240 for $1500, then you can swap a SR in (i'm only sayin this, is becuase if you can get a 240 for $1500 that means it has atleast 150,000 miles on it so it would be cheaper to swap the whole motor out instead of rebuilding then turbo) and you can have a car that run's low 14's to high 13's for around 6 grand

what we're saying is....

get nissan anything...

you know what EJ20? that is actually a really really good suggestion. i wonder how that sliped my mind. anyhow do you think he can find a decent turbo DSM for 6G? even the first gens don't cost that little (for a good running one with a turbo thats not blown)

Im with the Nissan guys, Get a sentra SE-R. Then use the remaining money on performance mods.

they are just better engines. hands down.

Nice turbo dsm's can be definitely attained for 6g's... at least around this area...


I vote for a Geo Metro.

get an old hatch, swap it and boost it and spank any nissan out there :thefinger

Seriously...If you HAVE to get one of those cars on that list i'd go for the RX-7...but 1400 is a little steep..I got mine for 80 bucks and mines a 91 Turbo II..Of course it wasn't running...but the interior and exterior were in mint condition....And as of latley wankel engines....have been fairly cheap..

get a TII RX-7 if you decide on an RX-7. N/A's are just... slow.:frown:

He doesn't need to get a TII rex........the Turbo engines are very very cheap man...And installing them isn't very difficult...Although the vacum lines could present a problem to a novice..

keep lookin

fridge se-rs are tight
or a nx2000
those are tight low 15's stock can be found for less then 2k

Alot of NX2000's arn't in very good exterior condition...And as far as that meet in Az..is it STRICTLY VW's???

agreed...92-95 h/b cx for around 2k, swap in a b18b ($700), turbo w/ the remaining money, ur lookin at 13's...

I second the vote for a Geo Metro!

actually if u drop the little 1.3L rotaries in there from the RX-7's...they've got a LOT of potential...anything can be fast...jus takes money.

Honestly..I would sudgest a COLT....Very very underrated car....Modify it's internals a bit, put a better turbocharger on it..And you've got yourself a very very cheap..very very affective grocery getter..But..if you got the $ to spend..go honda..Honda = the top of the line of the cheap imports to modify
