Better yet... Mustang GTS :D

Better yet buy a cheap like 95 civic hatch, drop an h22a in, and toll with the suspension or add intake+exhaust

lucky bastard is gettin a 5th gen hb for 500 bucks with rims and intake already, damn lucky ass

I would take the gts. Do you have to pay anything for it? Also if youw anted why not take the gts and then sell it? Just options but do what you want.

If youre going to take the GTS and then sell it, id suggest afterwards buying a early model 240sx and swapping in a SR20.

haha...well if selling is an option. sell it, an by a 6th gen civic hatchy an drop a b18c1/5 in there...

silvia - i'm biased :o

IMO, the last thing you should do is keep the GTS. The aftermarket for it is small and doesn't appear to be growing fast enough to justify keeping it if you plan on making it faster later on. In terms of other options, it is really up to your own tastes and preferences.

i recon hes gettin his cuz's 94 hb with rims and intake and some stereo stuff? for like 500, lucky bastard

get overnight imports from Japan

performance parts > TRD >

i went for the obvious because i'm not about to look around for parts in different categories


altho they have a bolt on turbo kit for the ITR $1,900 roughly

I could have given him that link and many others, but the bottom line is that the 2ZZ-GE hasn't been embraced by the aftermarket community. There are very few parts for it, and the few parts that are available are expensive. The K-Series from Honda is roughly two years newer and has more aftermarket support than the 2ZZ. I don't know why Toyota didn't just stick with the 3S-GE and put that in the Celica especially since the 3S is in a few other vehicles still.

240sx and put in a sr20det

definitely

the smart choice would be an integra, nothing else to say

hrmmm...i dunno, im biased too, but a free gt-s means a lot more money to do mod's...did he ever say wut he got?

Find a cheap 92-95 hatchback then put in an H22 turbo. But make it a sleeper. People would be like "Oh, it's just another slow little hatchback."

Ohhhhhhhh yeah. I agree. GTS is slow, 240sx is slow, and the hatch you would have to dump a lot of money into to get it as fast as the GTS.
Like said before, get the GTS, and sell it. Probably would have money left over to mod the GSR to be way faster that the GTS.

HA, i've waited for somebody to say something like that.

Mustang GTS is a real deal. Its a option they had. Basically was a stripped down version of the GT.. minus all the luxury from what I understand.

So Ha... jokes on you! ;)

Its ok.. it was kinda a trick question. :D

Honestly and I aint trying to start no gay ass impoort vs domestics flame war but I think you should get a Dumbestic with an 8 cylinder. Your young dont have a lot of money want to be fast ( but not that fast? then was the point of being fast at all?) Anyway parts would be cheap - Stock youd be burning most of those crappy cars you were thinking of to begin with -- 240sx (crap) , GTS (more crap) , Honda HB ???? (are u fuggin nuts KING of rice). And you wouldnt have to drop tons of money to get that factory beast of an 8 cylinder even faster then what you started with. Down side Gas mileage but hey if you wanna play fast and furious you gotta pay somehow.

I think if you have the option, sell the GTS. Try to find a 96-98 Civic, (hatchbacks are gay, they look like an egg on wheels), 2 or 4 dr, doesn't matter, with higher miles, but not too high. I believe they give you the best value for your money. Honda engines last almost as long as Ford truck engines, up around the 200-300,000 mile range, if taken care of properly. The cars are light weight and you don't have to put alot of money into the engine to get it going fast. An intake, exhaust, a few pulleys, and if there is enough money you make the car dual exhaust and put out more power plus a good sound. With that you'll be going pretty fast, but not too fast. My friend has an Eclipse GS with just an exhaust and all he did for an intake was cut off his air filter box and he has hit 145 mph in that car. The only thing is that Eclipses have too many problems, so you'll be spending more money fixing the car. Buy the Honda, add a few mods to the engine, fix up the body and you'll be good to go. Later you can decide to add turbo and all that good stuff. True it is, domestics are faster cars, but they are heavier cars so it takes more to push them in the high end. If you're wanting to go domestic your best bet is either an 88-90 5.0 mustang gt or cobra, or go with a 93-96 Camaro Z-28, but these make your insurance skyrocket. Imports have cheaper insurance, for example: I'm 21 almost 22 with my own policy, and I pay only $70 a month for a 4 dr civic. Anyways it's your decision on what to do, we're just here for suggestions.

jus geta hatch!

It must have taken him about half an hour to get there cause I know someone with an eclipse gs with intake and exhaust and it's dirt slow. He's told me he hit 145 with 3 people in the car but as long as the gearing is right and you find a very very long road (that's slightly downhill) it's possible in a lot of cars. It's all about how fast you ge there though.

It didn't take that long for him to get there. For some reason he's much faster than any other GS that come up against him. Don't know why or how, but it's happened.

We were also on a flat road, within less than 3/4 of a mile atleast.

Yeah my one friend I have has a 97 GS, I raced him in my mid 14 second car and couldn't pass him, and he didn't leave me. We were about the same speed. All he had done at the time was AEM intake, and a cat-back exhaust. Mid 14's with a car thats only rated at 140 or so HP??? He couldn't have gained more that 15 HP from those mods.:confused:

Oh well, he traded it in on a Mustang GT - which I can beat in a race. Thats a little ironic, getting a car that has almost twice as much rated horsepower and loosing from a person that tied you in a race before.

did u only race him once? cuz there are too many variables to have jus one race an consider his car a 14 second car.

You've also got to factor in the driver. I have another friend who has two brothers. Rick (oldest), Mike (middle), and Gary (youngest). Rick had a '89 Camaro V-6 and Mike had a '82 Camaro V-8, but Rick could shift with the best of them and would beat Mike 9 times outta 10, but then Gary bought the V-6 and would lose just as easy. My friend with the GS is a pretty good driver. He's had the car for over 4 yrs now and is used to the 5 speed. He's learned alot about racing, he can drift (not too good cuz his car won't let him, plus there really aren't any good drifting spots), and he's learned alot about swinging his back end around to catch those sharp turns faster, plus even more about straight racing.

Yeah only once, what variables do you mean?

launch, condition of ur car, how much gas in each car, tires, condition of each lane, if u underestimated him the 1st time...all those. im not tryin to doubt that its 14's, but thats a VERY quick time for only a gs w/ i/e, considering they are a 16 second car stock...

thas a second an a half off of its stock time w/ only those two mods. i really think if u raced him down the track, u'd destroy him w/ a mid 14 second car.

bah, this thread is pointless...the guy isn't even on this board any longer i think...i vote to close it.

nice street/track racing stories..... kept me on the edge of my seat.

You want to know what I drive? Right now it's a 95 F-150 short bed, in-line 6, 5 speed, 300 cu. in. Really slow. In about two hours I'll have a '98 Honda Civic with intake, exhaust, and a few pulleys, black widow one body kit, and terminator 2 spoiler, with 17 in chromies. A friend of mine is selling it to me for $6500. Much faster than my truck, but I'm an all show no go type of guy. I'm not much of a racer myself, I'm more into the car shows.

hey.. i don't mind if your car looks good in my rear view mirror..

yea yea... damn my slowness.

The mantra of lude owners: ..at least we have our class.

Integras are almost as plentiful as civics.. but still so beautiful. Not as beautiful as ludes though. I'm contradicting myself now. I guess I like a little 'stock show'.

agreed...i see my car atleast once a day (white gsr on cookie cutters an slammed).

i like ludes tho, i almost got one before my accord, but couldn't afford the insurance with the job i had. i've only raced a couple of ludes, they got good low-end, but top of 2nd an all of 3rd, i pull them hard.

but, i did see a couple of turbo'd ludes down at p/r. one was running low 14's all day, an the other was hittin high 13's. still like the cars, N/A, slow, doesn't matter, they have great styling...jus not as nice as tegs :D

Now only if the ludes and gsrs were Rwd:( When honda does make a cool cheap Rwd car then I might go the way of V-tec;)

very tru...i still love em' tho :D

rwd is much better however...after driving a rx-7...made me want rwd.

I'm just waiting for my twin-turbo Z...

I drive a 94 Acura Legend no spoilers just chrome 18's, koni shocks, H&R springs and just a few show mods like side markers, clear corners, H.I.D.s exc... Nothing ricey like lame ass fart cans -double decker spoilers, or shitloads of stickers of mods my car cant even support. And no I dont go driving around trying to be a badass racing everything and anything I can get my hands on to post it to the little fast and furious geek community on this board. I drive nice and slow and break them necks as I cruise by. Hell I just registerd here so I can have fun with you little nerdy chumps .... SO yeah I drive an import just like you but unlike these ricers I dont think im the shit because my car is a Honda product ---if I really wanted to be a badass Id use a big ass V6 or V8 for the track wether it be import or domestic dont matter to me just as long as it comes with a huge ass engine STOCK I dont start off project cars with little mickey mouse size engines.

Oh yeah, V-6, real big engine there buddy. Why don't you get a life and quit trying to make yourself bigger by picking on someone else. If you want big, why don't you take your high and mighty self to get a Diablo or Ferrari with a v10 and v12 engine, then you can come back and talk about big. And quit talkin about your family car as if it's something big. I already told you once that my friends 4 banger Eclipse with exhaust and homemade intake smoked a Legend. In the famous words of Martin Lawrence, "GET TO STEPPIN!"

you have a little penis and a slow slow ugly car. go kill yourself. from this point on, i will make it a point to flame you every chance i can.

PWMAN, what makes you better? I stick up for the 4 bangers, while you call me a rice, yet he's acting like a ricer himself talking about his 6 cylinder as if it's better than anybody else's car here, and then there's you sticking up for him, so that would mean you're a ricer too...so welcome to the club fag. Actually, I drive a 95 F-150, and I just now bought a '98 Civic...not to race but to (quoting Cpacheco ) BREAK NECKS.

yall all are fuckin ricers. ricer ricer ricer ricer ricer lol


dont you guys think this whole "ricer" thing has been played out enough.

I drive nice and slow and break them necks as I cruise by how do you break necks if you drive slow.......and why would anyone break their neck over a legend with 18's......i see them everyday no big thing, and dont get me wrong i hate rice as much as you but

I dont start off project cars with little mickey mouse size engines. damn mickey mouse engines......that one in the s2000 is mighty small huh? 4banger.....jeeze that is the worst engine in the world because of how big it is :flipa:

A joke? shit.. i have nothing then.

trdgts00, get a Z, and you won't go wrong. I promise!

I got the "bug" a few years ago, and am converting one of my Z's into a race car -- can't decide whether it will be the 240Z, 280ZX or the 300ZX Turbo. But, there's so much you can do with a Z -- modifications are unlimited -- K&N, Weber, Eibach, Greddy, etc.

However, it is very difficult to find high performance parts for the 280ZX. If money is an issue -- find a Z that has been sitting for less than 5 years (to avoid fuel tank rust and other related problems). You should be able to find one for a very reasonable price if you keep your eyes peeled. Believe me -- I know. Just get a bone stock Z, and you can gradually modify it to your needs (and not have to deal with someone else's bullshit mods, which can cause serious problems). Buy wholesale (see the links provided by Melt). I bought my 4th Z for $96.00 (a 240Z -- only needed carbs, which I converted from the flat tops to bell tops, with the minor added expense of linkage -- runs excellent). Owner distress sales are wonderful! If you're not in a hurry . . . keep your eyes peeled. If I can do it, so can you.

Happy race car hunting!

Hhahaha mention 6 cylinder and the flaming and envy just becomes uncontrollable. Well this is the street racing section of the forum so I cant blame you for continuing with your My car can beat your car debate, frankly I dont give a damn if any 4 banger or Eclipse can smoke me at a light cause 9 out of 10 times Im not even racing your pathetic ass anyway. It wasnt the purpose O bought my car for to begin with. Go hang with the Diablo , Viper and V10-V12 engines????? What the hell for? I have a family sedan why the hell would I even try to associate myself with that crowd hey your mighty eclipse smoked a 6 cylinder Legend right? Hell you go hang out with them - more power to ya. And as far as who would break thier necks over a Luxury Sedan ---who the hell would break thier necks over a 98 Civic thats even waaaaaaayyyyy more common then my car much less an even more common and Lame as F-150 geez talk about redneck. WHatever yall here I make you happy for the record All Imprts 4 bangers are the fastest F*cking cars in the universe and all are capable of smoking any car on the road with minor mods such as fart cans, yellow stickers, and huge aluminum spoilers on their trunks..... Im not worthy to share the roads with the fast and the furious gender such as all you little engine geeks , now shut the f*K up hit your NOS and get the hell outta my face. Ill be cruising in the slow lane with the music, T.V.s , drinks, smokes, and wifey giving me head on my merry little way. Dont hate...:smoka:
