HOW CAN I GO FASTER WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY? ]]> Honda Civic - Del Sol EG 1992-1995 SiRchuzo http://www.jdmuniverse.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-eg-1992-1995/95999-help-pls.html http://www.jdmuniverse.com/forums/jdm-universe/95997-planning-ono-buying-new-car-need-opinins-s2k-sc300-cr-x.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:14:45 GMT A bit lengthy, but I really need some opinions.

So this spring I will be in the market for a "new" car. My budget is going to be around 15k + or -. Over the years I have fallen in love with alot of cars and this will be a graduation gift to myself. I'm just trying to think a few months ahead (cuz its fun) and I need some insight in to what would be the best choice. Opinions encouraged.

My current wish list in no particular order.

1. S2000 - Prices have dropped a lot now that they have been around for 9-10 years. Lately I've been seeing early year S2000s with around 50-60k miles for as low as maybe $12k-$15k. All I'd do as far as mods is I/H/E, Hard top, suspension and Wheels over the span of about a year after I buy the actual car and call it a day. As far as insurance goes, I'm 22, but it will be under my parents til i'm 25.



2. Lexus SC300 (92-95) - These don't seem to be in as much demand as the hondas and prices seem to reflect that. After scrolling craigslist for the past few months, it looks like you can pick one up with a decent body around $4-5k. With my $15k budget, I'd have money to spare to do a 1jzgte (cheaper than 2jzgte) swap. With any left over money I'd use to just do suspension/wheels/turbo - pretty much as far as it will take me til I meet my budget.



3.CR-X (90-91) - I've had 4 EFs, 2 being CR-Xs and the CR-X was my first car when I was 16 (so I have more of a sentimental feeling toward this car). Since I could pick up a pretty decent shell for bout $3k, this would give me room for ALOT of mods. Possibly k20/suspension the whole deal.



Things to note:
I live in IL so even though we do have snow/salt I still own my del sol AND a Nissan Pathfinder for the snow. For the CR-X and SC300, they will never have to be inspected or go through emissions since they are 1995 and below, so I can do whatever setup I want.

Well there it is. If you guys could give me some insight/opinions that would be great.
Thanks

1. When you have the hard top on, its definately removable right? If so, let's say you go for a drive and it starts raining, do you still have the option of putting the motorized soft top up?

or is it..

2. You have either one or the other, hard top with no soft or vice versa?

Im working on doing the Type R conversion. My problem is, I want to go with the b16b engine but I hear its not turbo friendly. DO you guys recommend going with the b18c GSR swap instead? Money wise I don't have a budget since I'm doing it slow. It is a daily driver, but I would like to have a fast daily driver and eventually a drag monster. Theres a lot of mustangs, and neons who I'd like to shut up on the streets. haha Any advice will help. Thanks.
