looking to get a fairly cheap fun project car, what are some of your suggestions

 

MR2 Turbo

 

i have looked at them there around like 9k with like 80k miles on them, how reliable is that engine with that many miles on it

 

Well it is a Toyota... most reliable cars on the road.

But if it is a project car I'd rebuild the motor anyways. You can't beat that package though for a project car. Small, still looks great today, mid engine, RWD, turbo, etc.

 

BMW E30 325is

Awsome project cars. You can turn one into an awsome track car for a few grand plus an initail investment of 3-4k for the car. They're very reliable as well. My dads 1987 325 has 167k miles and runs like a champ. With just a new suspension and some slighlty stickier tires, the thing will grab hold of the road and not let go. Plus they are easy to work on.

 

BMW and reliable in the same sentence?

 

pre-90's bimmers are bulletproof.

they are just expensive to own.

 

We have one in our crew that has over 400k miles on his e30

 

85-87 regal t-type

 

69 Dodge Charger.

 

fucking

 

Get what you like?!?!?

this is your project right?!?!?!

If you don't have something you lust after already, you have no need for this thread. Or the idea of a project car.

 

What are you looking for out of your project car?

I suggested the MR2 because it could easily be built for drag racing, Auto-X, drifting, show car, etc.

What are you trying to get out of it?

 

you cant go wrong on a Honda CRX turn that beast into a AWD....

I've seen one w/ a NSX motor in the back! I think it was on Import Racer I'm not sure though

 

88 mustang

 

FUCK YES!!! if i ever have the money, i'm getting one, fixing it up, painting it orange, and putting the 01 on the side. (don't know about the confederate flag on the roof though, maybe replace it with the US flag)

 

i just got a turbo laser 1990, paid 500 bux for it and it is fast to begin with and you can make them faster for very little money.

 

beat to shit *car that you wish you could afford*

 

get a lambo kit car... and put a civic engine in it. :p

 

For what:

drag strip??
autox??
road course??
street performance??

 

get a miata

 

How about a 240SX, or an old RX7. Then there is always a classic Mustang.
