white evo9

 

C5 Z06 / C6
03/04 Cobra
AP2 S2000
E36 M3
E30 325is
Early Acura NSX
LSx FD RX7
Lancer Evo 8 or 9

I'd buy the LS1 miata someone posted on the forum for 12k.

It's making me seriously sad knowing how deep I am into my car and it's still a bone stock 1.6 with a TD04 ... puke.

Have you not seen the prices of E30 M's? I wouldn't call that "cheap" especially for a 25 year old car..

 

No lie. I have been going back and forth about getting one for the past three years and have seen good examples go from around 16,000 to over 25,000 in that time.

My List:
E30 M3
Used Elise
Early NSX
1995 E34 M5 or 540i/6
Westfield
70's 911 (high end of range)
LSx IS300/FD RX-7

 

BMW E46 M3
Acura Type R
350Z Nismo HR
S2000 2.2
Audi S4 V8
BMW 335i

Can find these cars for about 20k or less.

 

I'd take an early 90s Dodge minivan and dick it out

 

914 slantnose -lsx
68 cougar xr7
Datsun 510 -RB26
weismann gt mf5

 

Subaru Impreza 2.5RS
1999 Civic Si
1997 Integra GSR
2002 Lexus IS300 (2JZ yo) add turbo.
Second gen Lightning
Mk2 Golf gti w/ 1.8t swap, yo.
MINI Cooper S
3rd Gen Camaro T-56 SBC swapped, maybe a L33.

 

125cc shifter cart
BMW Z8
Forester XT
AUDM Ford Ranger 3.2

 

Daily driver is a beater, bone stock 91 that I actually really enjoy driving. If I couldn't drive a Miata..

Daily
FRS with 17x8's and 245/40/17 Star Specs and Perrin ECU reflash.
Prius. Just got '12 Prius for mom. I don't really get a chance to drive it so I'm kinda jelly

Enduro
997 GT3 RS 4.0
550whp, 2400lb Southwest tour/SRL stock car set up for road course with some a little aero, dry break and air jacks.

Sprint racing
C5 Z06 T1
800whp, 2400lb Southwest tour/SRL stock car set up for road course with some insane aero, sequential trans.
997 GT3 RS 4.0

HPDE
Nothing more fun for HPDE than a Miata so I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Autocross
DM Lotus Elan with 10K rpm 230whp Cosworth BDA and 5pd sequential

 

bro:

 

Maybe this:

 

'99 Integra with twin K20's AWD funness
Escort Cosworth- always liked them
Evo RS
LSx Miata
Very interested in the New Focus RS for a daily and weekend trips
Caterham RS500 or turbo westfield
Some turbo diesel full size van for traveling and getting drunk everywhere.
My buddy and I want a twin engine car. I keep saying we need a twin Busa motored kit car thing.

I like high dollar stuff. However even if I was rich as hell I still probably wouldn't get a Lambo or such. It's hard to justify more than a house costs for a car when I could build something just as much fun.

 

I'm the only one who prefers old pieces of ---- to new tech.

 

Cars Id replace the Z with
-97 Red WS6
Mild turbo 355 500whp
-Speedway white C5 FRC or Z06
-GTS Viper

Cars Id DD but keep the Z
-Red 1.6 Miata
200whp
-Non M3 E30 Coupe
-05-06 White or red S197 mustang
Bolt ons and suspension only

All of them must have Corsa Exhaust

 

Oh and while we are on the subject of turbo minivans

In high school I read about a guy who ran 12s with a bunch of junkyard parts and a stock turbo on a dodge minivan, been looking for a cheap one ever since.

 

^I nearly bought one locally for $500. it had a bunch of handicap conversion stuff in it though so it would have been a bitch to bring back to "normal"
