Real Life Cars

id LOVE that boosted LS S13 lol

my ideal honda daily would be a DC2 with a boosted B18 LS (buddy has one in his EG hatch, 311FWHP on a ebay pieced turbo kit and bone stock motor) GSR trans, lowered on white type r wheels.

my past cars:

1992 cavalier Z24. V6 FTW lol
93 S13 vert - bought it as a shell, it was my baby. only gonna be a track car
89 S13 hatch - parts car but was turning it into a missle
91 S13 coupe - was gonna be my daily but couldnt get the title in my name

current:
2001 chevy blazer 4dr - winter daily

damn, how the hell did you find all those s13's in Pennsylvania?

luck lol.. amazing thing was.. they al were RUST FREE!! lol. the vert was acid dipped, and the hatch was rolled tho ill have pics in a bit..too photobucket!!

haha ok

YUK, but for $50 and 75k miles, and came out of a elderly owned automatic i had to get it


what was going into the hatch missle


missle



coupe luv!!


as you al know. weelend before i bought it

2nd pic, umm I dont think the motor goes there..

haha i know, the guy said "i didnt feel like taking it out so you got a free 351W"

it has money in it to, roller rockers, solid lifters, ferrera valve springs/retiners, machine work for rockers, cam, aluminum intake, 600cfm carb. motor mounts to fit in a S13 engine bay

Man you need to get back into a s13!

i know! im holding out till march/april. itd suck to get a S13 then 2 days later get hit with 2ft of snow and i cant drive it lol

Kru - Only thing is, I'm not as mechanically inclined as most of you guys are haha. I'd only like to buy it as a car to experiment/learn stuff on. Plus if your estimates are correct, I'd rather spend the 2 grand on my DB8...If I had 2 grand anyway lol.

I remember last year I could have gotten a pretty clean EM1 for $800. All I need to do was replace the O2 sensor *face desk*.

i know that feeling lol.. i coulda bought a 96 trans am formula v8 6sp for $1200, 88k miles, white/hard top black 10 spoke camaro SS wheels, it needed a 3rd gear syncro.. little did i know it was like a $100 part and took 30 mins to fix on t56's

Thirty minutes to lift a car, drop the trans, pull it apart, replace a synchro, put it all back together and in the car? Where were you when I junked my last Focus, haha.

I know what you mean, though. In high school I had to pass on an FC because it needed a radiator and a windscreen. Guy wanted $700 for the car, running and with current tags. I didn't have the extra $350 or so I needed in parts, so I had to pass because I was in a pinch and needed a car asap, so bought my mom's 3-banger auto Tercel. :/

It's to keep fat chicks out.

im exagerating a bit but it takes no time to drop the front subframe on a fbody lol

Lol so me and my bro posted in an underground Chicago Honda group on Facebook about the bad motor One-Sixx sold us. My brother was going back and forth with the guy and I jumped in with my fm.net fighting skills and long story short we are picking up a new b16 from them tomorrow

got a LT1 for free. jus gotta go pick it up. it has rod knock.. so new bottom end rebuild in on the list

Man you guys make me jealous, I'm surround for the most part my Corsas,Puntos,500s & Farmer owned 4x4s.
I know theres a few Evo VII-Xs and Subbys. but my favourite is the RS Cosworth (Rally Spec) hidden in the forest by some old guy.

bit of a sidetrack I know, but don't know if you guys could suggest a good starter car UK-side thats RWD & normally cheap to insure?

haha. hmm. i honestly have no clue, all teh cars i can think of have already been said to have stupid high insurance costs.. any older BMW's or maybe a MX-5?

Yeah I could always claim classic insurance see how it goes haha.

man there's a merc or bm every street here

That's because we live in the epicenter of American excess.

if i had 50k to spend on a merc id prolly come home with something V8 powered and american lol.. i have a way with doing that

an old 5 or 3 series might just squeeze classic but im not sure at 21 you'd get a proper discount fella + they are getting rare thanks to uk drifters
i bit the bullet and bought a 200sx cheap and spent hours on the phone getting the insurance down to £800 when i was 24 but i doubt it would work after the massive increase in premiums over the last 2 years
i would recommend jap for cost and reliability but the insurance groups are always higher
a mid ninties 3 series should be a good choice dependent on insurance group, they are now dirt cheap and anything above 2.0l will slide nicely with a welded diff with the 2.8's being silly cheap to buy if not insure lol
if you can find one an FC should be cheap on classic insurance and they tend to be cheap to buy as people are terrified of 13b's, if it needs a rebuild (the apex seals only last 100k if well maintained) then you are looking a £1,000 in parts if you do the work (its much easier to do then you'd think)

so first i'd say get checking insurance for any car you can afford to buy and let the premiums narrow the field lol

the reason i missed the mx5 off the list is they dont have the power to drift in the dry.... unless you mod the engine or fit bald tyres haha

Cheers dude, that's quite a good details. would love an E30 or S-chassis the problem is just insurance as even a small 1-1.3 liter engine im looking at over £2500 which isnt easy as a student :/
