im looking to buy a used car. one that i can play around with and hook up. i wanted to hook up the civ but i need that to get back and forth to school so i want to gas milage. so im gonna buy a car probly around 7,000. i wanted something that i can have fun with. im lloking for maybe one that has already got great mods already. i was thinking of maybe an si or del sol or something maybe even a little VW. i need help give me sugestions on a car that would be good.

 

Modding your car in most cases won't hurt your gas mileage much. Auto98EX actually reports better milage after his supercharger install. I say, take that 7g and get a K20 and mod that baby to hell.

Plus, what you would pay for insurance and things on the other car would be WAY more than anything you'd save in gas.

 

Dude, 7g leaves the door pretty wide open for oppurtunity. Buy a shell from a junk yard, get a decent swap, then spend the rest of the money tidying up the suspension, brakes, interior, etc. For 7grand you could have a fairly badass ride.

 

I'm with him. Totally custom, and it'll keep you busy! In fact, that sounds like a great idea... I kinda wanna do that now...

 

i wouldent get one that already has things done to it, you never no how they modified it and what crap they messed up...i like fortys idea, i was going to do somthing like that before i got my civic, my parents didn't want me to tho and i needed a car right away

the hole point is my dad wolnt let me because the civic still is under the 100 thousand mile warrenty. thats why i was gonna go look for a project car sence i cant really mess with that one

 

get a 5th gen civic and swap in a GSR. that'll get you started good.
