You gotta factor the cost of maintenance and such - maybe you have, but it seems like you really cant afford to get a car that will cost a fortune in tires and routine maintenance. Give yourself some room for upgrades and repairs as you'll undoubtedly need it.

I'm not saying that I'm loaded so I have an evo, but I know what it costs to race it. I really think that you are gonna be in a much better financial situation if buy a cheaper RWD car and get that going.

 

please dont their !@#%ing dogs, they look great but are slower then hell.

 

I'd get an S2000
Newer car, you can get it pretty easily within your budget, and you can drift it if your heart so desires. Also responds better to mods than the RX8

 

dont encourage him...****in kids these days

 

if you have $4-5k don't listen to parents and get yourself a hmmm... 95 325 bimmer and save on a RWD conversion

 

Get a S2k. Those bad boys are RWD and they would be pretty fun to work on.

My bad, Kordyte. Didn't see your post.

 

Just go buy a used 350z, you can get them for 15-18k. Also look into s2000, which has drifting ability and also hands down out corners the Evo as well (stock).

 

I'd look into an ls1 '04 gto (lot's of low end torque) or a 350z for that money. The s2000 is a nice car but you'd probably be disappointed in the power. (especially low end). The evo does not sound like the right car for you and importing a car that never passed crash and smog tests in the US (evo 6 or 7)... forget it. You might be able to afford the car but paying to have all the other paperwork done to make it legal costs thousands of dollars (even then it's probably still gonna be in the gray are legally).

 

if you have 18k I'd move out from your parents house and do what you want with your life, if you buy and evo and live with your parents you'll be living there for a while. I'm just assuming you live with them if not then disregaurd that.

Get the 240 and drift the **** out of it. SR-20 swap!

 

NOO get an evo

 

+1

 

Lol have u ever been in an S2k my buddy has one with exaust, intake, and test pipe and the down low power is all he has. Also if hes looking to drift its a great car but hed have to get an AP1 (03 and lower) with high miles for 18k.

 

please don't screw an evo up and make rwd unless u plan on doing it like the one posted a while back with the engine rotated to be longitudinal

 

don't get a rx8... and don't get a evo... cause it is hard to get one for that price... even a bad one... sine all ur gonna be doing is drifting... you're gonna be breakin the car anyway... explain that to your parents... and im pretty sure they'll let you get a 240... take the rest of the 16k... go get ur self a rb... not a sr20... and go nut's...
