totally understandable............but when most ppl use the word cheap.......they are talkin about next to nothing............like getting a civic Si and boosting it and runnin low 12s would be pretty damn cheap..........but 200 bucks aint goin to do the job.

Also, this might help in your search for a tuner car.

Pick any two- cheap, fast, reliable.

Or just replace "cheap" with "wholesale" and take all three...

OIC. but Evos have a lot of problems too. nothing enough to make them not worth it, but a lot of little stuff that gets to bothering me.

you could probably get a 240 shell for cheap. find a used sr20det motor, replace headgasket and turn up boost, and u r in business. there is a 240 shell on ebay right now for only 550.00. its an s14 body syle, a longblock and tranny, a headgasket, and a manifold and a larger turbo would be quick. for example. 91 240 with sr20det with full exhaust, front mount, and 12 psi ran a 13.2 on sumitomo **** tires

Mitsu Eclipse GS-t is a nice tuner car but kinda expensive though but if ur lucky to find one cheap then i'll go with it.

gsx is better and quicker in a 1/4

yeah, but the rear ends eat themselves once you get some decent power.
