I finally found my perfect winter beater car....

[94RedSiGal]

See! I HAD to buy this car. It was the logical thing to do. </Spock>

Good find for 2500!!

When it dies you're going to have fun putting all that stuff into your Si.

Congrats on the find, now hurry up and get the parts, and I'll slap it together.

Thanks Clayton! I'm starting to gather them. I'm going OEM on the timingbelt & water pump change. I know that you are really busy with your own cars right now. Maybe sometime next week? Plus I think that Kaori will like driving this car too.

Thanks Mike! Btw everyone, I am not actually going to "beat" on this car. I have never abused any of my cars. If the road conditions are that bad out, I will just stay home.

shes 100 percent correct. she doesnt beat on her Si. i do.

yup... she dances like my stock hatchie did... cuz its much alike the same car with 25 more horses.

so the car with more options, less mileage, and more power is the winter car?

Good find ! I would say that this shouldn't be the "beater" at all. Like Noah says, this car is in better shape than your Si (Even though I like the Si more). This car seems great, but I would think you would wait until spring - Do all the maintanance items, then sell it for big profit. THEN buy a project car. Your talk of the Z sounded more up your alley.


You'll find that the Si is better in the snow anyway.

I love my Si above all other cars. After so many miles together, there is just a strong bond between us. The GS-R is definitely more car, but almost too refined and almost without soul. She arrives in the morning, I'll see how the relationship develops. B)

Again, I don't beat on any of my cars... that's why they tend to last forever.

Sisters...

I didn't realize how close in size the two of them were. Damn... life is good!


SiSteve- If fuel efficiency is a concern, there's a VX hatch for $2200 up in Boston...

 

[Bob Vila]

Hrmmm...its a little bit out of my price range, tops I would like to spend is 1500.00

 

[UDT]

What kinds of cars would you consider? Manual or automatic? Are you mechanically saavy?

"1991 Honda Civic hatch back manual, brand new clutch and many new parts. 200,000 miles all highway mileage! Only 1500 miles on the new clutch.

Runs great both local and highway. I'm moving soon so I only need to keep one car with me and sell this one. $890"

 

[Bob Vila]

Im leaning towards honda/acura/vw/toyota

or

Ford/Chevy/Dodge Pickups

Lol. yes I am mechanically savvy...I only do my own work except rear-end work on the heep

 

[Airjockie]

look at my next project...now is the time to buy, before I go get an engine for the accord...and it's got torque...tons of it, a little JB weld, and you can get it home...$1200 now for the car, and the Engine delivered to your house for an extra $300, you do the swap, and you can build it yourself...if I drop the engine in, and clean up the car, it could easily fetch $3500...nice solid car. Leaking block....easy swap...and you are on a honda swap board...hehe

 

[Bob Vila]

I am kind of looking for a car that doesnt require to much work to get running...but Ill keep it in mind

 

[Celerity]

I want that Brat more than ever. Subaru Brats, I think, make the perfect winter / utility car. Easy to store at the side of the house, lots of fun to drive, with a simple suspension and motorline. Fun the in the summer, Fun in the winter. Good on gas, part-time 4WD and doesn't require large truck tires and suspension.
