Hey everyone. I want a tuner but I dont know which car to start with. I wondered how much money it will cost to buy a car that is worth puting the money into.  

what is your budget?  read the new car sticky and you'll get a general idea of what a worthy platform is.  

3000gt base in good condition- 4000. FWD with enough power to help you learn. Responds great to mods, has a fairly large community. Breaks down enough to teach you how to fix your on car.. great starter car.

Test pipe for the car puts 7hp to the wheels and is 50 bucks. Great first mod you can do yourself. ebay intake, downpipe and headers, then testpipe back exhaust your looking at a pretty hefty power gain.  

go with a 1st or 2nd gen elipse. the 4g63 is a power house waitn to be set free. the evo 9s have 4g63s
