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.

Chances are it's already been beat to hell by a drifter. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

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. |

I love SR's, but you can build up a KA REALLY nicely as well. Thanks to my friends, I know this. They're super KA loyal and they give me sh!t for siding with SR's

If I had a 240, it would at least have an RB20 in it, I got a couple friends with RB20 240s and I guess they are pretty cool even though parts are expensive and hard to come by. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1

I have a buddy with an S13 coupe in the process of an LS1 swap. I don't condone American motors in Japanese cars when his turbo KA did the trick perfectly.  He's a drifter and you don't need mad power to drift. Plus that LS1 is heavy. Throw off the weight dist! But I digress.
