11 grand wont buy an rsx

 

i'd pick up the new Si. 200 hp w/lsd

 

Get a used gsr. Save the rest for a down payment on a house..

 

if he'll let you start small and build! Make ur own problems instead of buying someone elses.... 11k can go a long way with a honda! i picked up my running hatch for 900

 

i would say rsx-s, but 11k wont get u that... i dont think 11k will get u an si either. So i would say get a hatch then swap n boost... i would say get a gsr but then it might get stolen so....

 

I would say buy some hatch or somethin that runs and is in good running condition, do some small mods (ie. I/H/E) and then spend the rest on college. Then when you graduate you can buy a nicer car and do more stuff to it. Thats my plan

 

You're 21 and daddy's buying you a car? ****, son: get a 2000 GSR and do some suspension work to it, nice wheels, good tires and leave the engine completely stock. Drive it until the day you die.

find a 92-95 vx in good condition with a **** engine, believe me, theres plenty of them, gsr swap, suspension 1500(car)+5000(engine)+2000(suspension)+1000(minor stuff)=9500 w/1500 left for college

 

i would get a rhd sir eg

 

11k would get you one hell of a nice sleeper with a 1992 VX hatch and your choice of dohc vtec B series engines.

I'm stuck on b16as myself.

 

I like the si's I have one and its never done me wrong. Dont get an eg and make a sleeper. I'd stick with 99+ cars

NO car payment while in college.

11k might get you a 99-00 Si in good condition.

I was thinking the same thing about my future boosting project.
Turbo kit - $2300
Pistons - $500
Rods - $700
Drivetrain - $ 800
------------------------
$4300

Then I though, you ******* moron, save for a house.....then I though how much houses are these days......$4300 extra for a down payment will knock a $300k house down from $1600 mo. payment to $1595 .

If I were you, I'd buy a shitbox, hit doughnuts in parking lots, roll that **** over middle divides when you need to get in the turn lane, squeeze in that 1/2 of a parking spot next to a new big-***-'05-hummer and open your door with as much force as possible, being sure to leave rust specs on his new paint for being a dick . Go to school with that money, if you dont want to go to school, use it for other **** you NEED first.

 

build an EG hatch or sol.ed k20a with itr suspension conversion ... oem all the way except the k2oa-s engine and tranny

 

00' Si... if money wasnt an issue id go with the Type-S gotta love that "K" but i think the Si is "sexier" looking

yeah u gotta love the em1, if u can find a stock one go for it

 

EM1's do rule.

Dealers suck though.

 

yeah tell me about it

 

just get a hatch for some 1,000-2,000 and use the rest of the money to swap in a K-series or B-series which ever you prefer.
