Default Need help with a decision...

Ok here's the situation. Because my siste is a bitch and I'm a ----- for trying to help her out, I have now 3 cars, two payments and it's just stupid.

So I'm trying to decide what to do, which ones to sell. I think I might end up just putting them all for sale and ---- it, the first 2 that go are gone.

2002 WRX -
Pros - Long time project, a shitload of money into it. Extremely happy with performance, comfort, and looks. Oh and Bitches love it......

Cons - Tranny went out once already, I replaced it with a stronger one, even thought it should be fine, I don't trust it 100%. AC Compressor went out, it's a mitsubishi :P, so that's one thing I have to replace. Upgraded rotora rotors and hawk pads are not enough to stop it, need something done, just more $$$$.

1992 Integra -
Pros - Newest project, swapped the old b18 for an SIR2 b16a. Good condition in and out. Payed off, low insurance rate.

Cons - My first DOHC Vtec engine, it just doesn't feel that strong or fast, maybe because I'm used to driving the WRX, although a turbo could fix that. Need to do a compression test, also the oil light comes on sometimes, but really light, then goes away, then comes on, and away. Not sure if there's major problems with it yet. Hell it cost me $300, so it's still not bad.

2000 Integra
Pros - Newer integra, 4drs, I like them, could be a great project, lower payment than the WRX, lower insurance.

Cons - Nothing really, except its an LS and it is slow.

The other option is to sell all of them and get something nicer. I like the new TL. I would get one, if I can get rid of all the cars, or at least the ones with a payment. Then get another project later on, I'm thinking a nice CRX or a 92+ hatch.

I know Polls are gay sometimes, but I need to make a decision soon, I can pay the cars, but I don't like wasting money, it just doesn't make sense to have 3 cars, 2 maybe, but 3, not really.

Thanks

Just because I hate car payments I say sell the WRX and keep the tegs. Mod the "project teg" as $$ allows, keep the four door as a DD, and then buy something you really want in a year or so.

Dave buddy, i feel the sting of a car payment, it sucks (wife van) and my coupe may be junk but it's payed for, then again, 300+ hp really does make up for alot, liek broken ac, and weak brakes, besides, stopping is for sissies....keep teh scoobie, the 92 teg sounds bad cause ususally a flicker or weak oil light is low oil pressure i belive? not sure but i dont think it's just level....does your mad v-tak work? anyways, just my two cents, i have a hard on for the subie so im a little biased....mostly cause having a wife and two kids makes paying for one never gonna happen...sigh....

swap the sir2 into the 2000 teg, and use the money you make when you sell the WRX, and other teg, and build it and boost it.

I'm sure I'll get more keep the hondas, well acuras, than the subaru from this site, but still I'm seeing some good points.

I know making power = breaking parts, it's part of the game. The feeling from 300awhp and 300 lb/tq is amazing. I was without the car for about 3 months, dealing with the tranny problem, first day I drove it I could not keep from smiling from ear to ear.

My Mad TYTE JDM Vtak!!! works, but it just doesn't feel right, again I've never driven a b16 before so maybe it's fine, but it feels like the car is being held back, the engine sounds good, but it feels slow. Again it could be perfectly normal, just not used to it.

I had the same problem with the b18 in that same car before, I changed the oil pressure switch and the light was gone. So I'm going to try that. It doesn't happen all the time, so I'm hoping that's all it is, $7 to fix it. If it keeps happening there might be something else.


keep them comments coming

if you build and boost the b16, it will be hella fast.
