I'am planning on building my next project teg.
Should I buy
1. 2 dr LS. 1994-1996.. I had an LS..but should i buy it again? Reason=Low insurance
2. 2 dr Rs 1994-1996.. I like it because it has no sunroof, and my plan is to convert it to Type R. Reason=Low insurance.
3. 2 dr GSR 1994-1995. OBD1, but insurance is Kinda high.

LS/Rs setup- should i go LS-VTEC? Or nonvtec for the sleeper style. Turbo LS? if yes which turbo, and how much will it costs to fully built everything.
OR-
GSR setup- give me some advice how to built this motor..


Remember, I have $12,000 to spend to buy a car and spend it on mods..

Please choose which color for the car- Nighthawk black pearl, championship white pearl, Milano Red ( I used to have milano Red teg.)

Please choose which seats to get- Recaros in black or red, Bride seats?

I also want JDM front end, and possibly 5 lug conversion.

please choose which wheels- VoLk ce28n bronze, itr gunmetals, SSR competitions GUnmetal with polished lip. Give ur opinion on these..I do not want rotas nor spoons....too much people has these..no offense.

wheel size= 15's or 16?
tailights= 98-01's? or 94-97's?

located in so cal

 

does your mom still buy your clothes?

 

id go with the RS ls/vtec, then after that blows stick the rest of the b16 in there. champ white, fake recaros and red desmond zephyrs. swap in some ae101 headlights and you;re straight. then pay 2g's to someone to steal your car and use previous reciepts for insurance claims. come back with 15g's and put it down on a real type-r.... at least thats what id do.

 

get LS/RS get a GSR tranny.. do all the suspension work.. and turbo charge it.. GET a low mileage engine, cheap insurance and cheaper to maintain


it you want vtec.. get a GSR engine and build it... Lsvtec is too much hassle.. nothing beats the reliability of stock engines... unless you have lots of money

at last how about getting a GSR (car).. and get a b20 block and build it... (I like this idea alot, but it could costs a lot...) my idea situation is getting a 2000 si and build it with a b20.. that's nice..

If you wanna save some serious cash, then don't get Recaros or Brides. The Brides will cut you $2300 for a pair .
Buy some Sparcos...just as good! But they aren't "JDM" if you care about that, which it looks like you do.

 

how bout u just buy ONE racing shell/bucket since the driver is the only who who needs to be feeling the road. i dont see why anone needs bling bling bride unless they r gonna see the track.

or if u just gotta have nicer seats just get some nice and cheap corbeau TRS, i believe they are called. and they recline. but if you wanna see track time, go with non reclinable.

HAHA

 

or you could just keep your stock seats unless you're going to actually be turning the car at speeds where you need support... racing seats for looks =

 

you aren't gonna get half way there on $12k
you're gonna need more money

 

Why would you want people you don't even know to make decisions for you. Things like the color of a car should be decided by you, not me, or anyone else on this board.

We're here for advice.

 

Yeah, I mean if you really want my advice, just give me the money and I'll figure everything out for you...

 

Best thing to do would be to get a hatchback for cheap, swap in a GS-R motor or go B20/VTEC and build a bad@$$ street car that will tear it up on the autox or roadcourse. Keep it streetable, those are the best kind of cars, and most fun.
