Mist Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Well heh got the insurance qoutes in and it will be about 1k for six months for me to drive my mothers 2003 civic. However it is only 400 for my to drive without the car itself being covered so my mother said she will get me a 2k car question is what to get? Currently I have 600 but I really want to put that to an arcade game as I have gotten rid of most of my entertainment (xbox). Only car I have seen near that price has been 94 and 95 celicas. Well to be frank one which I am going to call about tomorrow but my hopes aren't too high for it. I wanted to get a 64 1/2 -66 mustang coup (fastback is too costly) but my mother doesn't want me to as she wants a *dependable* first car for me. Any ideas? I am not looking for speed per say the only reason I want a celica is the body on it is better then say a jetta which is a box (have owned several) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Yuck Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 howabout a former police Chevy Caprice (ebay) or you might consider a volvo or a saab....(everybody should have a box or egg shaped car at some point in their life) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newport Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 I am a Ford hound so i am also gonna have to say grab a Ford car... Those Crown Victoria Police Interceptors rock. My mom used to have a 96 Crown Vic Interceptor and dang that thing booked down the road lol. I remember going down to Tulsa on US-169 highway (K-7) my mom hit the stopper @ 150 mph and it was still accelerating lol. What a car lol... To bad she sold it for a 94 DeVille lol.

slugbug3311 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 (everybody should have a box or egg shaped car at some point in their life) This should be my car when I get a 3.0gpa. Its a 1988 subaru gl wagon with 220k miles on it. Its 4 wheel drive and its got 97hp. Also its a stick with the original clutch in it. Ill tell you its a very easy car to learn to drive a stick on, its got about 3 inches from the part it starts to engage to when it fully engages.

TimeMachine Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 CELICA GT-FOUR omg omg jus get a swapped JDM engine and a kit, ur set off to a racer NICE! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptikaliLLusion Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 97hp? Ouch. I think I'll either inherit my (family's) S70, Expedition, or 325i, though the 325 is snapping fast, so I might stick with the Volvo. Expedition doesn't curb my hunger for speed, though the S70 isn't exactly a contender either... mod shop anyone ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That right there will like double ur HP almost just spening 1k or so.... less then that even. intake and exhaust wont get u that much power, itll get from between 20 -100 50 the most i seen been dont with exhaut and its 7th stage too LOL! but if u have a compatible engine to get it blown off, its a 200 proabaly wit supercharger or any type of charger can give u about 100 more, which cost ALOT lol and yes i lvoe the celica:P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That right there will like double ur HP almost just spening 1k or so.... less then that even. I WISH you could doubles ANY cars HP with just a chip and exhaust. That would be nice. 4 cyl motors don't get alot from N/A parts. About the only way to get them moving 'fast' is with a power adder. You really need a V8 if you want N/A power. And V8's with power adders.............`drool`............... Celica's are nice looking but sloooooooooooooow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
