I don't really like either but I'd take the Firebird simply because its RWD. :dunno:

What model Firebird are we talking about?

93 was the first year the LT-1 was introduced, so if's it's got a LT-1 with a six speed. Go with the Firebird.

If it's say, a V-6 with an automatic, I would say NO.




As for the GSR, it's not that I would say no, but it's a 93 GSR, and 92-93 GSR's are the most under-rated GSR's off them all so it's a bit harder than 94-97 GSR's to find parts. But the B17A is a great engine and should be lots of fun.


So it's all depends on what type of car you want, and what thing's you wanna do.

So more info whould be great.

5.9r/t i kno domestics have aftermarket aswell, but 2g teg has a bigger aftermarket than the 93 firebird. that is a good car aswell, but modding in some ways could kill some of the little reliabilty u'd hav with it.

I'd take the firebird, they've always been one of my favorite cars, so I'm a little biased =)
If it's the formula, doesn't that mean it has the LT-1?

The 1993 GS-R is nothing to get all excited about. I've test driven a lot of integras, and the B17a is not all that great. I'd personally spend a few dollars more for a b18c or just stick with the b18a or b18b.


As for your decision, i'd still go with the 1993 GS-R. I think its a good economy car to start off with. I'd think that the firebird would be an awesome car, but too much to maintain in terms of gas and insurance costs. Both cars have good aftermarket support.

I think there should be better options out there, but if it's a daily driver the GSR is your best bet. Plus it will be better accepted as a beyond member!!! haha:D

You need centering rings, the hubs on Z's are bigger. On the other hand, they're apparently only ~13lbs each..not bad :)

Good choice on the Cressida, no need for another overpowered car driven by an inexperienced male on the roads (No offense, just stats :))

Have fun with the modding!

wen it comes to rims on that car, i think 15/16's 6 spoke would be good

well it has stock 16's so the tires would work with it. i am also looking at a swap from jdmsource.ca for either a 1jzgte or a 7mge turbo. what u guys think

Finboy is right...plus it has a LOT of potential and is often overlooked...

how much would it cost to put in the 7mgte turbo? could i do it myself? my dads good at v8 swaps so it is a direct bolt in?

not exactly.

your best bet is to find a cressida forum and start asking questions over there
