Hey guys thanks for looking in here. So heres the deal. I finally landed myself a decent paying job where i can finally afford to start doing some stuff to my car. I only own 1 car right now that being my 95 dx coupe. Its a beautiful car, its in good shape but im defenetely ready to start doing more stuff to it. so heres where i've been thinking of some options for myself. Im wondering what i should do and if anyone has some feedback for me..
1) KEEP MY CAR
So far theres some body work to be done. I bondo'd the two rear fender well areas that rusted but its only primed right now so painting it will cost me some money. Im also im great need of tires but that also gives me a reason to finally get rims. Im looking for something 16-17 inch 6 or more spokes in probably gunmetal. need suggestions for that. Along with the rims and tires i will get full dampers, get all the camber and s**t adjusted right and strut/sway bars to tighen the ride up a little. All that will probably hold me over for summer, and probably a CF Hood to top that all off. Then come winter time i should have enough money for a engine swap which thankfully i now have friends in the auto business who can help me out. But i really wnat to know what the best swap is for me. Im plainning on boosting it and i want this car to be FAST. no questions asked. So i guess im going to go with a b18 but im not sure what yet.
2) BUY A NEW CAR
As much as i love my car im am absoultey obsessed now with 99-00 Blue Si's and a lot of the things like sunroof, power windows, locks, a somehwat faster engine thats stock, and just the appearanceof the car almost have me sold. So i figure with my car in its current condition i could get about 2,500 for my car, and save up another 6-7 grand by the end of summer and buy one. but then again i'd be starting from scratch with all the mods plus that much money could easy get me pretyt far into the stuff i could do with my car currently
then theres also the last option of saving for a totaly differnet car for a daily driver, then just keeping my 95 dx for a project car. But the thing with that is i still live with my parents. we have a garage but im not too sure how much they would be into me having a car kept in the garage and own another one. Plus that would put me at least a year into the future with being able to do anything with my car becuase i'd have to be saving for a new car right now...
so thanks for reading all that hopefully someone will have some good idea or tips. I'm open to anything im just looking for a little advce from someone who has either been in the situation, or even if they haven;t at least they can just see things from outside of where i do. Thanks, please comment!!
