old school love = second car?

[EnzoRWD]

Alright im going crazy with this, i wont be getting another car till the end on next summer, but i dont really know what i want.sooo.... the rx7 forums is being buggy as hell, so i shall ask around here...im thinking datsun 510 or first gen rx7 (gl se).a bad move for a daily driver? i will get me some snow tires and wash off salt, etc. will either of these two cars make it thru WI winters?anyone owned these and wish to comment?thanks all!-Enzo

[jEzTeR]

What are you looking for?Just a daily driver?If so I would steer clear of both of those cars.Try a SE-R sentra or 200sx.In stock form they are real dependable but there is lots of room for modding in the future.

[EnzoRWD]

mostly daily driver. but i want something fun enough that i wont mod it. something fun and old(er) would do just that. fun car to drive all the time. then i can beat my s13 on the track and not worry if i break shyt.yeah,. and im looking for a RWD car...-Enzo

[jEzTeR]

Gotya!RWD huh?How about another s13? LOL then you can have a parts car when your throught with it.

I like the older Supra's and RX7's. If you get a N/A one then upkeep should be ok.(that damn rotary can be a bitzh though)

Does it have to be a import?You can usually find a 90-92 mustang 5.0 pretty cheep.

[themadscientist]

For snow driving it's hard to beat a VW Bettle.

[EnzoRWD]

im looking at a NA 13b rx7. turbo = not ready for the commitment. that, and i will end up upgrading a turbo II if i had one hehehe. and yeah, pretty much looking at only imports. they're arent any light, nice-handling RWD domestics in my price range. (fiero doesnt cut it) then there's that alfa milano 3.0. mmmmm-Enzo

[Mr1der]

13B Rx-3 sure, it might not be the best choice for a daily driver, but that's what you have a 240 for:D

1988 Mazda 323 GTX...



Some decently priced ones can be found, this one is above average.

[jEzTeR]

(fiero doesnt cut it)

I had an 87 Fiero GT.It was pretty damn fun.I beat many V8 cars with it.You got to love a RWD Rear motor car.The only problem was keeping it from overheating on Hot days when you wern't moving.

[krazy skwerel]

first gen m3 perhaps.

[dr!ft]

What about an AW11 MR2? Not to shabby of a car, esp with the 4AGZE...

[EnzoRWD]

i pondered an AW11 mr2. i dont know if i would fit.an e30 M3 = too much $$$

tell me more about that lil mazda. looks hot...-Enzo

[themadscientist]

those AWs are small inside. The little mazda a couple of posts up is a great choice, some were 4WD.

[Rex]

Mazda is AWD 1.6 turbo 0-60 in the mid 8's. I think it was only offered in 88 & 89.

[Turb0wned]

how about the older supra's? dont like those?

[EnzoRWD]

supra are too heavy. i dont really like the styling much either.

[Turb0wned]

oh ok then why not just go with the rx

[EnzoRWD]

wow, took a look at some 323 gtx pages. that might just be the perfect car. fun, cheap?, and able to take some serious winter driving. mmm. thanks for the pointer. so much more interesting than an old suby-Enzo

[Mr1der]

good luck finding one though

you talking about the cool hatch version?

check http://www.corksport.com for the goodies...

Hey, with the targa, sky's the limit.

BTW, I'll be looking for a new car soon and like the thought of the 323 as well (thx Rex!). I mean, on the "323's For Sale" page listed below, I found an '88 GTX 5spd w/150k miles for $1,500! :rockon

For more info on the 323...*323's For Sale*The "Home of the 323 Lover" Site*Mazda 323 Performance*Cork Sport (performance parts)

And A Cool Pic...

There are 2 on ebay right now, one is even in Grafton, WI

In WI, somewhat modded

Swapped lower milage motor

Both have a buy it now over $3k, which I think is a bit much.

[nametakennow]

An old E30 (or slightly newer E36) BMW would kick. A 325i (or iS) w/ a 5spd would be quick. Ever head those things? I heard one with stock exhaust with a K&N filter, and it growled really nice, especially under load, STOCK. Mostly because those things rust from the inside out, and thus the muffler was just a big metal thing with a rusty piece of something inside with holes in it.

[EnzoRWD]

yeah 3k is too much. grafton, WI is real close to me, too bad i have to go back to madison tomorrow. waahhhh i want test drive. not that i have the money anyways. nearly 1g spent of silly front susp stuffs. -Enzo

[E Dogg]

i think if u can resist the 13b swap NA rotaries are really dependable

[PalmerWMD]

then there's that alfa milano 3.0. mmmmm-Enzo

If you can find one in decent shape those are just coolLove the angular looks combined with the fact Alfa doesnt sell here anymore but its a great marque with great tradition.

But another S13 is a good idea also, there are always some FS on NICO BST.
