an "eyerock"? i belive u are talking about an IROC firebird or whatever kind of car it is, and yeah i agree thats kind of cliched for late 80's white suburbia kids. and well, i dont know how to translate canadian to american so i will just go with 3000 in american....


get a first generation Integra (pimp-mobile)or an early 90's prelude VTEC, if u can find one that fits your budget.

buy something else...like an rx7, or like overRide resSurRection said an Integra, or you could also buy some Eclipse from ebaymotors, for under 6000cdn. only problem would be the transportation of the car irself

yes, try looking for an older volkswagen, beetles are really easy to pimp out with engine mods. (I've heard someone putting a Rotary from a rex into a bug).
or, an actual Rex, preferably older. you could also try an old datsun 240Z. those ones kicked ass. an Integra seems too "wigger", or rice racer, so I'd go against that one. American cars have a tendancy to be crappily made, so I would go against those.
if you just wanted minimal transportation, nothing fast, then you could buy a cavilier, or a neon. perhaps a civic, if you want good mileage. but for gods sake, DON'T bother with shitty makes, such as:
Yugo
Lada
Ford
Hyundai
Kia
Daewoo
saturn

those ones will get you laughed off the road, if it doesn't break down first.
well...
ford may not get you laughed off, because there are too many idiots who seem to think they make good cars.
but you get my point. If you want high quality stuff, then
Volkswagen
Mitsubishi
Subaru
Mazda
BMW (look for an older 2002. ugly, but quick lil' buggers.)
Lancia (good luck)
Audi
in some cases, chev. and dodge.
there are others, but I think you get the general idea.

good luck with your car hunting.

I think i might get a 1990+ XR7, but how much would a body kit cost? 400? My friend just finnished working on his Camaro, looks pimp, jet black, the works. But i laugh at him cuz he spent 3k on the car and 4k fixing it up

I have a 1985 Toyota Tercel wagon. It rocks. Never broken down. It's a 4X4, little mountain goat. Cost me $2400. If you don't care about looks and power, these cars are the best.

this is quite sad because i had a Lada,Yugo, and i currently have a Hyundai. But the hyundai is my wifes...she seems to like it.


a body kit for an rx-7 will cost you $800-$1200, if you want a quality good one. and dont buy a gtu, buy a gxl, gxl 2+2, or a turbo.

also for under 6k you could but yourself a early 90's nissan 300zx, faster and nicer looking then the 240, but the 240 isnt a bad choice

I call Japanese cars riceburners, not directed towards the drivers. I think it's a good name for them, and I don't think it's a racist thing. I have many Japanese friends who think it's funny too.

Think i really care what some chum thinks? Chicks know shit about cars, and most people know shit, if it looks nice, thats was matters. Looks, System, Sound, Then engine. Unless your a hardcore guy, most peeps go for looks first, and adding a body kit makes it alot better. You see at my school the 2 best cars we have are a pimped out camaro and a probe....

if u r a dumbass u think a car that looks nice goes fast. but what u do to your car is what u do. sure...get a body kit and the biggest motherfucking spoiler u can find and go to your local strip. they will all applaud upon your entrance at what a mafioso masterpiece you have so gratified them with.




riceburners, ricerockets, thats cool with me. but when u call somebody a riceboy because of the way he looks or the way his car looks, u are doggin on asians everywhere and will get your ass kicked if u are in the wrong part of town.

and ferret u made yourself look like a dumbass on 2 occasions (thats right count em folks) in this post. first, u spelled iroc as "eyerock" then u asked how much money would a body kit cost, being as that was the first thing u would like to buy. i am taking this string and putting it on my website so people that actually know shit about cars can heckle you.

Default Re: What kind of car should i get for 6k?

You've gotta make a choice. You can go fast, you can be comfortable, or you can just chill.

When I started looking for a car, I knew that I either wanted a Datsun Z (I was looking for a 280 Turbo, actually), or a VW Bus. The Datsun is quick and fun to drive. The Bus is slow, but it's got space and character. It's also fairly easy to work on.

In the end, I decided that going fast wasn't really necessary. I ended up with a 77 Westy bus that seats (and sleeps) four comfortably, and makes for one hell of a party wagon. Now I just have to put the engine back in the damn thing.

I paid about $1600USD, plus the cost of an engine rebuild.

Just get something that matches your personality.

lol theta...thats pretty pimp. i once saw a tricked out shuttle bus. (the E-350's with the long vertical windows.) hydraulics made it go real low too. but solid ferret is obviousley more concerned with impressing people, rather than getting something that will be a blast to drive for him. follow your personality...damn good advice and a tantra for car buying if i ever heard one.

no shit. and you said XR7 like 2 or three times now. its a MAZDA RX-7. learn about cars and shit at least a little before u go out modding your car. i have seen people dozens, i shit u not not DOZENS of times get rocks thrown at their cars when true tuner and after-market buffs decided that they were all show and no go.

Why in the hell wouldnt you want a GTU? Next to the Turbo II, the GTU and GTUs are the most sought after FC Rx7's out there! GTU has everything the Turbo II has, Except for a Turbo. It's basically the no frills, less weight, racer friendly version. the GXL is more of a luxury model. But it's basically all up to him, if he wants something to be Fast, handle like a Dream, and look nice, get a GTU or GTUs. If you want Leather seats, a Sunroof, and Power everything else that adds more weight, by all means get a GXL.

youre right, but why would you get the lighter version when you can have luxury version with all the things you listed above. not sure but i would certainly want all those things which would add about 30lb at the most to my car and just strip things off which are not needed like the back seats...
