my payments on my altima is going to be up soon and i was just wondering what my options would be. should i just pocket the monthly payment and fix up my commuter or should i get a different car. my budget would be around 7k for a new car. i just want something that will smoke my friends 2k8 civic si. i pretty much open to anything although i would like something else other than a fwd car.

my past cars...

89 civic si bought it with a b16. it was my first car didnt know much about nothing. till the motor popped 52k miles down the line. Still sold the car for 2k.  

93 honda accord. nothing special completely stock. put it into a poll before i could do anything to it.

97 honda civic got jacked 3 wks before the swap.

2k3 nissan altima 3.5 se. nothing special just suspension, intake and exhaust.  

try gettin a turboed MR2 its fast and light soo u wont have to put alot of money into it to go fast and would smoke an 08' SI in stock form.  

i'm sorry.

i forgot to mention that i am 6'2" and pushing 250lbs. i would like something i could fit in.  

lol wow ur tall  

300ZX  

what year? 300zx is so heavy tho... i wouldnt mind a 240.  

91 is the best. Its was before they placed a bunch of useless crap and preteded to be a lexus.  

the 240 is an amazing car, if you can find one some teenager hasnt completely f'ed up.  The 300zx is an wonderful car, matter of fact im plannin on that being my next project. for being so heavy, they have a nice powerplant to move it, and the suspension components more than compliment the weight balance.  but to tune it, itll be more expensive overall than the 240  

that's what i have been leaning towards. 240 with a nice engine swap. how much am i looking at?  

i was looking at the 240's before i got my mr2, and i was gettin about 2k for the engine trans an shipping on a 25k mile sr20det.  but make sure your getting the turbo ecu, etc. and prolly about a g more if your not doing the work yourself  

i'm getting the costing together. does anyone know where i can find a reputable dealer in southern california?  

not a clue, im up in the NE. But being in socal it shouldnt be too hard to find one.  

ok i found this place near my house. do the prices seem ok?
