the ultimate car build! vote now!

[TippinOver]

so i'm debating on another project car and looking for some insight.

i like older cars, late 80's thru 90's. everything after that just seems too bubbly...like NSync was developing it. i also tend to like weird body styles, so yah...here's my options that i was thinking

1. EF hatch/ CRX, built b20, jdm CLEAN, not stripped.

2. MKIII VW GTi, vr6 engine, either built of supercharged

3. Nissan Sentra SER (older models, like, at least two body styles ago) with sr20dett swap

4. Murdered out Miata. black, black hardtop, black wheels, 5% tint, no power adder, just mad suspension

5. Lexus 4 door (mid 90's model. unsure which one just yet) full body kit, 20's. VIP style

6. Mitsubishi Eclipse 1st gen, some kind of cool 4g63 setup

im also open to other opinions. this car would be a project strictly, no DD, not necessarily for drag racing or etc, just to have.

if youre looking for a car that you want strictly for drag racing, i dont think that any of the cars you suggested are really that great. for drag racing id go with a 3rd or 4th gen camaro or firebird with a 350 engine in it. theres so much power that can be made from those engines........headers alone pull out about 15-20hp. and if you have the money to supercharge that engine, youll be pullin wheelies.

The f**ken Honda!

i voted for the civic but the depending on the miata body style it could look really good..

 

[spook4thecia]

Soarer replica gets my vote.

VIP style

 

[TippinOver]

no...NOT for drag racing....all around performance

yah, if i wanted to drag id be goin with some kind of big block chevy s10 setup

but i like sport compacts. and fwd. so legitimate wheel power is limited.

 

[spook4thecia]

Did I mention I heart VIP? Not my pics.

 

[plumers]

i vote for the veedub, lol. i love VR6 engine...

 

[Beelzebubba]

Of course the 'effin Honda.


But I kinda' like the B13 Sentra idea too. I would do a Sedan....an SR20DET, 4 wheel disc, all aftermarket suspension Sleeper Sedan. Black with black wheels....probably Slips. Dark tint on the back windows. Fools would never know what hit them.

I like the 1g Eclipse/Laser/Talon idea but those cars are kinda' weak in the build quality department. You get an EF or B13 with 200,000 miles on it and it's still got good structural integrity. Throw a new powertrain and suspension on it and it's good to go. Not so much with the DSMs.

my vote goes for the crx or miata, all around, good track car, and project, with many many possibilities.

I still do not understand how he Japanese made this so called "ViP" movement with tuner cars and others. That is American influenced I say

I'm sure it has American influence roots, but it really started with Yakuza and the younger rich Jap mob guys IIRC. Mostly big black sedans on huge DEEEP dish wheels. Super-luxuried out interior.

If you want JDM. This is it. Everyone now has a 240 with S15 headlights and 180sx side glass. VIP is real JDM. Talk about rarity and exclusivity.

I can't believe Junction Produce even has an English site--

I don't see how it is any different than any "urban" styled Sedan deVille/Town Car/ Park Avenue...etc... from back in the day. Big rims with bold faces, loud multi-exhaust...etc...

VIP Lexus gets my vote

Nawww...back in the 90's after the whole 13"X7 Daytons with 155/80R13s stretched across them style. Big still meant 17"s wiv 50 surries Vogue Tyres but they had a big blingy center section and the TV in the dash had to have a big-ass hole cut for the CRT type TV and VCR.

How, you may be asking, do you get a 155 wide tire on a 7" rim?

Ether.

f**king dangerous as hell and scary but I've seen 'em do it

Yea I misread what you said, my bad man, sorry. I like the miata, but if you want fwd, the miata is not your car, miata's are rwd. cant get a better handling car for the price though.
