well if any of you haven't seen my last post or 2, my control arm snapped about 2 weeks ago sending me into a wall. bla bla bla.

so the shop ordered the parts they needed and were fixing it said it should be done today or monday. and we got a call today and after taking it apart even more. they found a crack in the block

=totaled

now ive been trying to find a new car.

oh yea, im geting around $11400 give or take a few $. did u know they subtract like 450$ if its a manual? thats the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard.

but any ways

found about 4 very nice gti's in the 9k-12k range and called up on them and they were all sold.

but first of coarse i looked up another ra and found one with 52K miles ssame year as mine in the i think thunder gray color (its the real dark grey, charcoal, almost black) and im thinking about this one. i just dont like how i got mine for 10500 with a hair under 3k miles. and this would be good cause then i can take out my pully and intake, throw those on, then throw on the exhaust in my garage. that will save me a whole lot of time and money.

i also found 2, especially 1, very nice se-r spec-v's for pretty darn cheap.

you guys got any other suggestions? i want to spend AT MOST $12,000.

and an es or oz rally just ain't going to cut it for me. (lancer wise)

 

^.

 

i would go with another RA. i know in my area you can get a nice GSR(i think thats the older turbo eclipse.) for around 3g. but im just a big RA guy. the only other cars im partial to that arnt mitsus are

Nissan 300ZX
Mazda RX7-RX8
Nissan 240SX

for cheaper tuning wise. ive seen RX8's around here pretty cheap.

 

i love the 300zx but there expesnsive as !@#$. and no the eclipse i think your talking about it the gsx. and no way those are 3g. gsr's are like the tegs

 

300zx is a tank. Too much fuel.

Sorry to hear!

 

American muscle? I would look into a SS or WS6.. cant go wrong with **** loads of torque

 

naw. im not against american cars, **** im in america, i just cant see myself driving one, dont care for them too much

 

DONT get a SE-R....you WILL miss the RA if you do.

If you can find a Nice GST or GSX, inspect it THROUGHLY, drive it, feel it...then money talk...Have some friends that got RIPPED with crankwalked Clipses, bad trannys are another

300ZX, steer away if you dont have the cash to mantain it...gets pretty expensive just to refresh one.

...American cars? must have a v8, unless it is a SRT-4 or a Cobalt SS

 

I see gsx for 3g alot...maybe just my area...theres also a 300zx for sale near me for 3500. maybe i just find good deals with no money lol

 

I was planning on buying a 2G DSM GST because there are so many parts available for them and because they are fast and cheap and with little money you can have a car easily touching the 400 WHP

 

i dont know the price range but a 3000gt vr4 is something ive always thought about gettin for a fixer upper, twin turbo awd but most need some tlc so im sure they arent too much.

 

maybe find an old evo, like the 3-6 series if u can
or a eclipse or 3000gt or something if u dont want the RA

or why dont u buy back u car for cheap and find a RA engine from another wreck

 

May I ask what Mitsu had to say about the control arm? Which arm was it? Feel free to point me to a past post if you've already answered this.

 

i was driving about 45mph when felt a ... like jerk formward as if i had hit somthing. the front right whell just turned 60* and i want into a wall.

the car isnt through mitsu at all.

 

those cars are so hard to find here.
gsx
300zx
sx's

anything like that are so hard to find without alot of miles and big $
