Replying to: paisan (Apr 07, 2007 10:41 am) I know that the suspension, brakes and tires are gonna be the first to be done, then a probaly turbo that powers up in the lower mid range along with a intercooler. Then a better exhaust, after that its all dependant on wether I start going to track or not. But as for the car I'm stuck. I was doing alot of research on cars, and this is what I came up with so far: 94/95 RX-7 95 Dodge Sealth RT or ES 92 Z-28 Camaro 97 Eclipse GSX and I love RX-8s, but that isn't happening anytime soon.

Stealth- Heavy Heavy car, more of a grand touring car than a handler or track car, parts can be difficult to come by. Z-28 Heavy RWD, reliability issues, horrible handler Eclipse -Good handling, a bit heavy, most if not all are beat to crap after the Fast and the Furious days. I'd personally look at a 2002 WRX, they can be had for relative little money, tons of aftermarket, handle like a dream, and a few mature owners out there so you could get one in good shape. Oh yeah and you can pester me, your host with all kinds of Subaru questions on upgrades and how to race em! -mike

Replying to: paisan (Apr 09, 2007 3:20 am) I live in Philly, our weather is kinda sparatic. Random rain and dry spells. Winters with lots or little to no snow. What else might be a good option, I like the 240sx too. Havn't really reseached that much though. I think the year I like is the 92 model. Yea, I heard horror stories bout the Z-28. My old teacher had one, had to throw sand bags in the trunk lol. I liked the 92 Celica until I seen how weak it is, read a reveiw saying its good when the driver is alone in the car, but add passengers and it stutters like a baby choking on milk. Kinda sad that a nice looking car like that has that problem, even the ones out now. Quite sad. But thats just what I read, so I dunno. Not as sad as Hundais (is that how you spell it?) attempt at a sports car before the tib. 83hp,  lol oh well. As for the Tibs, didn't research them yet, they're a pretty nice looking car. Read the interior is kinda cheap though. Forget what car I read about that if anything with a mildly sharp edge ends up in the rear seat you'll have a nice little battle scar to show for it. The 04' Corolla S seems nice too. God, theres to many choices. Well I'm babbleing now, later and again, thanks for the help.
