What Car Should Mike Buy?

[lilmike86]

i know this is a bit left side, but an uncomplied Stagie RS 260. LOL now that i would like to see

needs to be road registered

Take into account a cross-mission set for the GTI-R box and it dosen't seem quite as cost effective..

Go the 20B MX-5... would be absolutely nuts

yeah, thanks. i like the pics you found there. although not as nice as the widebody i'm ordering still very tough

[IanB]

if your already ordering the parts for the MX5 then isnt this whole thing pointless?

[phatboi2010]

I think you should get a caterham 7. cause they are good, very good.

and put an rb in it, make it go quick.

or go the supra, since they look nice and have a sick as engine to race us with.

mx5 + sr20 = cheap reliable fun and then get a skyline as a second car

i havent ordered the parts yet but i have found the ones i want if i do go ahead with it.

hmmm. well i think i'll stay away from the supra then nah, supra is a bit too heavy really for what i want

it will cost almost the same as putting the rotor in. so its just a matter of power to weight. gotta have a look at it and then decide.

[Mushroom]

no it won't the rotor is about 7500 in mods and thats before the actual front cut etc....

mx5 = 8k

sr20 vvt front cut 4k

mod kit $1500

add 2k for extras

just over 15k and is a quick little beast

[lilmike86]

um front cut for 20btt is about 3-4k that i've found. all good condition and stuff, work fine. bullet racing have the mounts already i believe and a gearbox to fit as well (i think the cosmos were FF)

[Col-GTSX]

From the list i would choose the R34 GTT...

If i think you missed a car it would be the R33 GTR as their getting as cheap as R32 GTRs these days...

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Good luck getting a R34 GTT for 16K.

Go something different, something not common

[ob1]

Good luck getting a R34 GTT for 16K.

yeah, my thoughts also....maybe an auto, N/A, 4 door r34 for that price....or an uncomplied GTT.

[IanB]

are you sure you can get a rotary MX5 through compliance?

[lilmike86]

are you sure you can get a rotary MX5 through compliance?

yes i am, because it has been done before. bullet racing used to build them and sell them as a brand new car which met all the ADR specifications. they built them with 20b's, 13B's and v8's. i'm going to go into their office and see waht i need to do to meet everything, but i think the main concern is emmissions with the rotary.

i know 34's are not 16k, but like i said i could squeeze a little if necessary. its just thoughts for now, but didnt want to exclude it.

on gtr's, well i'm not too fussed on them is why i left the 33 out. i want something that i actually have to think about when i drive, and not let the car do the thinking for me. just the way i wanna go i guess the purpose of this car is basically to improve my skills.

[53XYN]

i would say either evo 6 or the 34 GTT ..

[Col-GTSX]

Oh sorry i didnt realise there was a budget of $16k...

[D-limo]

SR20 needs more money spent on it initially to withstand high boost and rpm with a metal HG and rocker stopper kit. 20B just bolt a big single on and away you go. Rotors can be just as reliable as pistons, probably more so in this case.

[IanB]

I believe the SR20 he was talking about was NA. would prob go like the clappers in a MX5.

Also, the best car by far and wide for the pice for mountain climbs there is the Familia GTR.

Have you ever driven a GTR?? They can be nasty I have never driven one that you didnt have to think A LOT about

[IanB]

Driving a GTR requires alot of thought. Its not just point and click by a long shot. AWD means you have to have more skill with your throttle application...
