What is your definition of "fast"?

11-05-2001, 09:44 AM
well fast being i can spin the wheels off the line without dropping the clucth..... im pretty sure i could accomplish that with any of those cars u listed...... but those all seem to be less on reliability which is why i want to know more about cars that are capable of this.

I can't imagine buying those cars above..... so it's obvious what you need to do, take the 8 grand buy a crap car to drive for a few weeks while the S13 you just bought is in the shop getting a SR put in it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

can i find a 200 dollar car? lol and put 2000 into a s-13 then.... get a complete sr swap done for 5800?

Well since you can't live with only 2 seats (i think you should try it has it's quirk's <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> ) The only car thats coming to mind is a 2+2 300ZX thats pushing your $8,000 limit but do able.

11-05-2001, 11:38 AM
yah but most likely i wont be able to get a 95 + for that price without 150,000 miles on it.

BlankFlip

honestly though, there isn't much better for that price range, the 240SX is perfect. if u didn't have a 240SX n brought that question up, i would tell u to look for a 240SX. or maybe sell ur s14, get a cheaper s13 n drop the sr in there.

11-05-2001, 12:02 PM
yah but...... its soooooo slow and i want something thats fast outta the box...... i was thinking an old 3000 gt vr-4 but too many problems.... with those

You sound like my sister looking for a car. &nbsp;If you want something fast out of the box for 8K and it is 95+ then you will be looking for a long time. &nbsp;Not to mension that you won't get a high mileage car (which is smart).

They have a saying in sales: &nbsp;Price, Time, and Quality. &nbsp;Pick 2.

Your either going to have to lower your standards, pay more, or wait a #### of a long time to find something.

11-05-2001, 12:34 PM
hmmm maybe a 93 s - 13 and a xs kit or something.... would that work? do they have a kit for the 93 ka?

transient
11-05-2001, 01:30 PM
Yeah, they do. I've heard better things about the Nsport though...

I saw one yesterday, I bet the owner was looking to sell. &nbsp;The must have rear ending someone really nicely, because the whole front bumper was ripped of his car. &nbsp;I bet he caught the boost in the rain we have been having.

11-05-2001, 02:48 PM
i need somethin reliable... 2 or 4 doors doesnt really matter but now im pondering waiting till i get a real job and financing a new 350z.... grrrrr too many #### decisions.

11-05-2001, 03:43 PM
n e suggestions?

you want to find a car that is '95+, low mileage, dependable, more than two seats, and fast out of the box for $8k? would you like fries w/ that? The only place you'll ever find a car like that is in your dreams. haha tell us if you ever find one though.

11-05-2001, 04:44 PM
i'll let u know i mean it can be like a 92-94 also but has to be decent mileage ya kno?

misnomer
11-05-2001, 05:41 PM
why don't you sink that into turboing or sring or caing your s14?

konkman
11-05-2001, 05:46 PM
Yeah, forget that idea of an SR swap, install an Nsport turbo kit.

If you don't like you current car's condition, invest some time, find a granny driven 240 and do her up to the tits.

The car, not the granny.

If you really want to get a good deal, check the junkyards. &nbsp;Even if they don't have a fast car (Supra or whatever) with minimal damage you can fix, they're bound to have a kick ass engine is something you can pick up cheap. &nbsp;Then just throw it in and make it work.

11-05-2001, 06:43 PM
im selling my s-14....... then using that money to buy another car.... something FAST.
