im sad
did a honda civic beat you in your NA 200zx again?
>>14148375
im sad it's so hard to find great handling small cars for cheap
>>14148379
I hope you can find one in 2016 anon
i mean just 1 year less until amerifriends can import type Rs
>>14148383
i have been on this journey since 2014
the perfect sub $5k sports car
I've learned a lot here
But still it is so difficult to actually realize my dreams
And I'm only getting older
Maybe in 2016
>>14148389
What do you call 'perfect'
Foxbody and the rest on mods
Reminder to report all takumi lad posts
>>14148399
As someone who actually knows some shit about them, they are a terrible choice if you want a good handling car. You need to spend a lot of money to get to that point.
I'm sad because FFs are a bunch of shitposting benchracing faggots and FRs are stupid enough to reply to them. It makes me want an RR, but a Porsche 996 costs too much for me to maintain.
>>14148398
I'm not sure I know anymore
This one.. too unbalanced
This one.. too American
This one.. too old
This one.. too costly
This one.. too floppy
This one.. too European
This one.. too korean
>>14148419
>too american
Get out commie scum
>>14148418
>Im mad I get my shit pushed in everytime I shitpost
KEK!
bumb redditor also doesnt know about god-tier AWD
>>14148433
Fuckery looks so damn proud of himself. I wish I could give no shits like that.
>>14148433
I want an Evo, but finding one that isn't a hideous Mark X in Canada is hard.
>>14148447
>canada
import an evo 6 dummy
>>14148452
I prefer the Evo 7/8/9
There is a nice looking XIII on sale nearby but the thing is 25,000
>>14148475
import an evo 7 then the first one were made in 2001
>>14148464
This is what happens when you drop nukes on people
>>14148536
>implying on japan has a golden fetish
its like you've never seen german porn kiddo
>>14148418
What if I'm stoopid enough to respond to this; I DD a FF, but own AWD, FR, and RR?
FF and RR are the most fun, opposite ends of the spectrum though.
Light cars are the best
>>14148673
What is your FR and your FF? I had the opposite experience, with my FF being a Cobalt and my FR being an MR2.
>>14148475
yeah and you could get a nice VI for like 12k. The XIII is not 13k more car.
>>14148418
Lmao okay I'll fall for the bait,
FF has some of the best performance to price ratios, and in return has some of the best aftermarket
Cobalt turbo is faster than anything you can get for under 7k
>B-b-b-buh fwd
Go eat takumi dick
>>14148691
damn I got sad realizing there never will be a XIII. VIII is what I meant of course.
>>14148684
FF are, CR-X Si (85), CR-X DX (86), Jetta GT (98, and garbage)
FR are, 73 Thunderbird, 74 Thunderbird, 87 Volvo 240, 75 MG B, 91 Ford Ranger XLT
>i.e. not the best for FR... nothing light anyways.
My RR is a 73 Super Beetle, and probably the funnest car I own, as long as you are not trying to go anywhere fast.
I've been keeping an eye out for any gen MR2, but most likely going to spend my money on a MR-S because it's newer, though I'd love any of them.
>>14148389
SVT Focus swap with D23.
>>14148705
Alright
FRs are more fun because if I cared about price/performance like a benchracing teenager I'd get a CBR600F4i/SV650 and decimate all for way less money and effort
>>14148705
>Cobalt turbo is faster than anything you can get for under 7k
you can get a cobalt turbo for under 7k
>>14149288
If you don't care then why do you autisticly defend rwd
>>14149288
>FR's are more fun
Said the autistic benchracer asking for advice on what car to buy.
>>14149318
>>14149307
I already own a car. Quit being autistic and enjoy cars. You're not building a race car if you're not actually competing in a race series.
>>14149323
Uh what
>>14149296
You can make a flat piece of steel that fast for $7k.
>>14149323
No, how about I enjoy a car for what it is rather than the drivetrain/$ ratio
The cheapest car I own (Free, RR) is the most fun I've had behind a wheel, second (And close third which I don't count because reasons, FF) followed by a FR. That's a shitty ass 44hp Beetle, two Hondas (91 and 73 HP) followed by a 160hp MURICAN truck with a stroked/bored/extracyl GERMAN V4 block. 2WD.
I guess /o/ is just newfags tho, power/drivetrain =/= fun; instead of how fun it is to drive regardless of power/drivetrain.
We race kar now
>>14149444
You get my point 100%
Build a car because you like it. Building a car for outright speed is fucking stupid because a bike will always be cheaper, faster, and more reliable
>>14148419
well if you keep nitpicking, youre not gonna find what you want for 5k. save up more
>>14149587
>cheaper
Ehhhhh....
>>14148419
Miata or a foxbody. What else even is there.
>>14149598
Civic,escort,prelude...
>>14149444
delivery driver is one here twice
also
>bingo
saw verv, thought i was in the hg all this time, not even drunk
FFs can turn OP
driven a stock toyabaru and a crx, with the bit of money that i have put towards my suspension i liked my crx better. I know for a fact that im not a fast driver so im not going to push the limits where drivetrain would make a difference laptime wise. Id do a trackday just for fun not to be the very best
other peoples opinions and nitpicking isn't going to help you even if you say you already have a car. take what you like on that one, what you would like to see improved and find a car that fills those gaps
>>14148419
Get a Rx-8.
Seriously, if you enjoy driving and know how to actually take care of a sports car, then you will have a blast.
Find a cheap high mileage one , then rebuild the engine.
