what kinda car???

[cressida_pimpin]

hey guys, i have 3000 and i dont know what kinda car to get, i want somthing that is pretty quick (for 3000) and still handles good. what u think i should get? I WANT AN IMPORT:confused:

[LudeRoca]

You can grab a crx for that much. If you want something a lil newer then you might be able to get a 92, or 93 civic DX. I saw some on canadtrader. There are a couple si's but they have higher clicks.

[///M3]

you could get an old Nissan 240sx for that price. pretty fast and sporty. its a 2.4L 4cyl i think.
92 and up to 94? are more $$$, but the older ones look pretty much the same.

92

yea , as ///M3 sed , get an S13...wicked car for that amount of money, ur best option. although the 89-91 and 92-94 dont have too many differences in appeanance the motor is different,
89-91 had ka24e wich means 120 hp (???ft/lbs)
92-94 had ka24de wich means 155hp (140ft/lbs)

(140ft/lbs)

I thought it was 160?

[cressida_pimpin]

what do u guys think about plymouth laser rs-t? they have 195hp and are only like 2600 lbs? what u guys think bout supras? i know they are a little more but if i could find some with some body damage and fix it.....
thanks

[statick]

supra would also be a good choice, but for your price range, im not sure the motor aswell as the body will be in the best condition.

Keep your Cressida, and drop in a 7M-GTE (supra motor):thumbsup:

[cressida_pimpin]

how many horse's do a 7m-gte got?

[mx73someday]

Ya, keep the Cressida. If you already have one and if the body is good then I think you'd be alot happier just modifying it.

7M-GTE is over 200hp, with alot more potential (turn up the boost).

232hp and 246lbs of twist:drool:

[Ashkente]

Yup, I'd say keep the Cressida as well..it's basically a 4 door Supra. Do a manual conversion and check if you already have an LSD :D (If you do, it's probably still in pretty good shape, since it's been babied by the auto :D)

[cressida_pimpin]

ya the thing is tho is it has rust around the wheel wells and its a tank, what do u guys think bout dsms?

stay AWAY from DSM's...they are nice cars...but can be and prolly will turn into a money pit...

Keep the Cressida like everyone else has mentioned...

7M-GTE, 5 SPD, FMIC...and you have the ultimate drift car...PLUS...can still drive your mother, great-grandfather and wife in :bigpimp: style and comfort...

[CIVIC_MAN]

is there any body kits or somthing to make it look newer?

do u guys have any tips on how much an engine swap and stuff is gunna be, also if i was gunna swap the engine, could i go to a 2jz for more money?

[finboy]

2jz's can be swapped in.

don't get a body kit for a cressida please :)

[cressida_pimpin]

When my father owned his Cressida, mind you this was a few years ago, A1 Parts for Less always had stuff he was looking for...

Some advice I can offer you for that particular car...if you find a good Cressida for sale cheap...pick it up...as you can use it as a donor car for certain body, chassis parts...as well as interior...as I know of lots of Cressidas...whose interiors have gone the way of the "hell-hole"...so you might also wanna consider doing that...

pick your part
bucks auto wreckers

[cressida_pimpin]

wat about aftermarket stuff?
i picked up some fenders from pro body parts for 139.99 a peice so its not to bad right now. but i need some strut bars for it so u think that i could use a supra one or no?

[finboy]

i would look into people that deal with used jdm parts, such as one of the sponsers on this site, http://www.jdmsource.ca and see if they have anything for your car.

used parts = cheaper ;)
