lookin to buy a rwd roadster/coupe

[jaxle]

Hey all, i know this forum isn't for talking about cars exactly, but i want this post to reach to as many different car enthusiasts as possible. So on to the point... I want ideas for a fun roadster (rwd) to buy. I already know of the 240sx, Miata, and rx7.

New cars also include S2000 Audi TT BMW Z4 Mercedes SLK among many more.

For a simple roadster go to Home Depot buy a chainsaw for $200, and cut the roof off your civic. Now there is a convertible w/ style.

You could have well mentioned your budget before asking about the car. A well used Miata is probably your only choice for a decent running car.

Civic's a FWD anyways, unless you drive in reverse all the time (you'd probably go faster that way)

it would be like a fwd car with rear wheel steering...

get an MR2

look at some old british roadsters,

eh... go with the miata, they're a blast

[crayzayjay]

MR2 / Miata

no other realistic options

im picking up a 1989 240sx next week for 1200 buxs. cant wait to drive it

[del]

i would say a miata. or i'm sure you can find a nice older british roadster for pretty cheap, just not very easy to find one. i would pimp one.

[jaxle]

Yea british roadsters are tight, my friend has a '67 spitfire. anyways how can a miata be my only hope considering u can grab 240sx's for that price too, and what about 180sx?

[TatII]

there are no 180's in the states. they are all called 240's. the 240's came in two different body styles. the coupe and the hatchback ( which is mistaken to be a 180 by some ) the coupe weights less, and if you got the green, you can get rid of that pop up headlight for a geniune S13 projector headlight unit and turn it into a real S13 silvia. the coupes also got nicer interiors such as heads up display (showing a projection of the speed on your windshield) , digital speedometer, and a 7 grand redline. nice~!! but all these options only applies to the 91-93 models only.
