Im starting to save some money for a new car, so I need help on wich one to choose. The price range is around 10 k, so far I found these 4 for around that price. Mazda RX-8, Nissan 300ZX, Subaru WRX, Toyota MR. What do you guys think about these cars?

Parts for a RB are ridiculous compared to a SR. You better have deep pockets if you wanted a RB. And besides, I know countless people have the SR in there cars now and its been done plenty of times. The SR just screams for more and more HP with minor bolt ons. Just my intake mani put me up almost 30hp. Then the other supporting upgrades as well. If you went with a 240, S13, S14, S13.5, S14.5. I promise the SR would not sadden you. Ill post pics of all my stuff this afternoon in my O/T thread of everything I have.

Just be wary of buying an already swapped SR like JuMPiiN said. Chances are it's already been beat to hell by a drifter.

Exactly, Almost EVERY car that has been swapped has been beat to hell and back. When I got mine, it still had the KA in it and came with the SR and tranny and everything. So the SR i snatched up came with receipts and everything, and with the cluster with 22K on it. So i found a super rare deal. If you decide to go with a 240, and with your budget, find one with the KA and buy the SR. I got extremely lucky.
