What is a better investment

[Oo_skyline_oO]

Hi, I am 16 and just got my 96 gs...unfortunatly I could not get a turbo because of the parents ... it's got 90,000 miles on it and I was just thinking of which would be a better investment and want you guys to put some opinions... Should I put money into this car like turbo kit and other ugrades and good stuff like that or should I save the money and save up for a different TURBOED car...I was thinking of a TT supra... honda s2000...WRX....Lancer EVO...3000gt....or even a GSX or GST... this however would take quite a while and I am an impatient person....anyways... you guys are more experienced so thanks for your input

[Chavez408]

your gonna buy a WRX? TT supra?? what are you on crack? or do you just have that much of money?


or why not sell the RS and get a GST?

[Oo_skyline_oO]

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention a couple other things that are an option...Just swap the motor with a turbo one....RX 7...240sx and swap that motor with either a silvia or skyline engine... forgot about those..

[Oo_skyline_oO]

no that's why I said what is a better investment...it will take me about 2-6 years of saving depending on which car I choose to go with..

[Oo_skyline_oO]

and yes everyone...I know the s2000 isn't turboed but I still kind of like it

[Chavez408]

Pff, buy a lowrider lol


those are some random cars man lol


have you check on the thread that RST made about turboing your RS? read it and then think about it if you really got the time and money to turbo your baby, and if not just sell it and buy a GST or a GSX

Holy crap kid, you need to get a drives lisense before you can get the "pimp car" yeah and you cant just go putting random engines in random cars. You got sensors and computers to work with. It sounds like you should keep with that car, the GS, it has a very well designed 420A chyrsler built engine in it, get a Hahn trubo chager and that should get you started in the import scene. I'm not tryin to bash you, everyone starts from some where, but try not to get too ahead of your self.

[Oo_skyline_oO]

well yeah I completely agree with you....I know it is going to take quite some...I'm not getting ahead of myself I am just planning ahead that's all...and by the way.. just incase you didn't know.. the silvia engine and skyline engine pretty much just bolt right in to the 240sx...but anyways...

What is a better investment? Cars are definetly not an investment, they will suck your money faster than a girlfriend. If you are looking for an investment buy some real estate if you are looking for a fast or cool lookin ride, expect to loose money.

But you dont have a 240sx, you have a eclipse gs, so it doesnt matter if the sr20det can bolt into the 240's. It takes money to do engine swaps like that. If your going to spend that much money, just fix up your gs.
And if you did get a sr20det or rb26dett what would you do if you get some kind of engine problem, and you need parts. Its hard to get parts for those types of engines. Inless you are like me, since i go back to Japan every summer.

[Oo_skyline_oO]

haha good deal...yeah I don't think I would go with the sr20 because it is a 4 cylinder...if I'm going to do an engine swap I think I would do it with either a rb25 or the 26 because those are 6 cylinders and have more potential..that's why I was thinking it would be better to either save up for the TT supra or save up to do this motor swap in the 240

[Killa_DSM]

Wait i thought the sr20 was a 6. Im pritty sure it is???

[Oo_skyline_oO]

no it's not...trust me I've done thorough research...not sure if I spelled thorough correctly...but yeah...the sr20 is a 4

[Killa_DSM]

Yea your right, my bad. I learned something new!
