15 what to buy
 

Ill have about 3000 max for a car and i want a talon/eclipse for a car i dont knwo what year to get and if u can think of a better car i would like to know....o yeah i want the talon really bad bcause the fastest car at school right now is a legend at 15.7 so i need something faster.

Re:15 what to buy
 

who cares whose car is faster, the real modifying dont start until AFTER highschool.

Re:15 what to buy
 

if your going to get a dsm i would go with one of the earlier years that came with the 6 bolt cause they are basically bullet proof

Re:15 what to buy
 

i guy i went to high school with ran 15.7 in a 90 civic si hatch with only an intake, i thought that was good. i think a 88 turbo rx7 runs 14.4 stock witch is really quick. good luck guy :)

Re:15 what to buy
 

buy a starion so you can do doughnuts around his ass after you smoke him.

Re:15 what to buy
 

how did this thread end up with ppl talking about rx7's and starions ???

We should change the name from HmT to offtopic.net 8)

Re:15 what to buy
 

I'm still in highschool and my car does 13.9 on street tires...but that's an N/A 8cyl car...definately not somethign to be discussed on HMT.

I'd say get a 1g manual talon or something...as long as it's the turbo version. If not that get a civic for cheap and swap / boost...do whatever.

There's always going to be somebody faster than you.

Re:15 what to buy
 

I'm gonna have to say, jump on the HMT bandwagon and get a civic. JK about the bandwagon, but anyways get a civic and do a home made kit for it. You'll learn so much more about cars and have more fun knowing you were the one that made it fast. Just spend plenty of time learning how to do it and it'll be easy.

Re:15 what to buy
 

Aight thanks for the advice i would do the home kit on the civic but some one eles in town allready did that so i think im just gonna go for the g1 talon thats what iv wanted for a long time any ways when i get it ill post pics if i can figure out how to do that

Re:15 what to buy
 

im 15 as well 16 in november, just lurk this forum for a long time, these are great people who know their ----, jsut dont ask questions without searching or you will get owned =p Good luck with your setup. Personally one of the best kept secrets is a mid 90's v6 5 speed. Put pistons/rods your looking 300hp in the face =)

Re:15 what to buy

Re:15 what to buy

i've always heard from mechanics that mitsubishis suck, as far as breaking down alot. especialy the mid 90s' ones freakin ford makes engines for mitsubishi, betta ask somebody. i'd try to get a turbo 89-91 supra, anything with a b series engine from honda.

Re:15 what to buy
 

get a crx, drop in a newer D and turbo the bitch. youll run 13s all day if you tune it right.

Re:15 what to buy
 

umm no, i think your thinking of the ford mazda relationship

Re:15 what to buy
 

mitsubishi has a relationship with daimler-chrysler... not ford... ex. Mitsubishi Eclipse=EAGLE TALON=PLYMOUTH LASER, Mitsubishi GTO/3000gt = Dodge Stealth, MItsubishi Lancer/Mirage = Dodge Lancer/Colt

Re:15 what to buy
 

iv been doing alot of thinking and my friend will be at uti next year and he could help me alot so i was thinking maby getting the civic and turboing that or maybe swap it up to b18 i dotn know though too many things to pick from ill just pick something in a month if i pass my test

Re:15 what to buy
 

which uti campus? where you located?

Re:15 what to buy
 

the one by chicago and when im outta high school im gonna go there where u at?

Re:15 what to buy
 

My brother went to that very same school...he wasn't happy with it at all.

I thought about going but all the negative things I've heard about those type of schools makes me think otherwise. My brother worked at a few performance shops (one that gave him checks that bounced!) and a few dealerships before he realized that he didn't like it much.

Now he's a ford salesman in Florida and I think he likes that.

Just something to think about before you jump into a school like that head first.

Buy a skateboard ::)

Re:15 what to buy
 

If you spend 3K on a dsm, you better have a couple grand for parts. And you might wanna ask your insurance agent ahead of time if they'll even cover you.

Re:15 what to buy
 

hey guys i think im pretty sure on trying a custom tubo on a civic cuz theres a guy in my town with one on his civic and he would help me out if i had any big problems. and i think i would learn alot more from it. and it will be a hell of alot cheaper on the insurense.
