i think my parents are gonna sell one of our vehicles and in turn am suppose to get something of my choice. I want something thats gas efficient for the moment as i am going to use it to get to work and back. But also leave room for upgrades in case im in the mood to drive something else than an evo.

 

Cant go wrong with a honda civic, none of the b18 b16 ls whatevahh mombo jumbo.Look at Toyotas as well

 

do you know about honda/acuras?

 

the new Honda Fit will debut shortly. gets 33/38mpg & will be cheaper than civics...

Scion Xa would work too

if u got deeper pockets, get the new Acura RDX coming out. the 1st consumer AWD turbo Honda...

 

Civicw/K20A Swap+Bolt On....225whp Lightweight 9000rpm NA Engine,what a good package.But,this is more likey a weekend fun car.Or 06' Golf GTI...200hp stock,250hp chipped.

 

gas efficient & room for mods......any honda's (civic eg/ek, integra dc2/dc5, new civic si). maybe a toyota mr-s if u're considering a drop top. if u dont mind doing a lil maintenance by urself, a s14 240sx with a sr20 later on would be a very fun car other than that i'm not sure wut's gas efficient while still have room for mods......

 

what do you think has more potential? Turbo Honda or Turbo Eclipse... i know that eclipses already come turbod but i'm worried about insurance on a turbo car for a 19 going on 20 yr old.

 

you drive an evo and your worried about the insurance on a civic or eclipse

 

well technically i am lucky enough to not pay insurance on my evo although i am stuck with the car payment but i am really intrested in buying a car so that i will be in my name so i can have a car history.

 

Yeah, if you like driving an ugly hatch get the RDX.

Back to the OP, are you looking for something new? A couple years old? If you were looking new, I might recommend something basic like the new Civic Coupe or something like that...

 

Used Nissan Sentra SE-R

 

i want something older....that i can pay cash so i wont have another car payment. it's bad enough i barly have enough money to pay for my evo much less get parts for it... but at least i have one ^_^

 

i plan on getting another turbo for my evo... do you think i can use my stock evo turbo to turbo a civic??

 

eg hatch + ls turbo = lightweight champ!

That is what I would do, if you blow the motor who cares buy another one. b18b's have low end torque also (not a great amount but good for a honda). Get a different tranny while you are at it, the one from the b16 engine is good and put in a quaife lsd. Buy a eg for cheap like 4g's and you could probably find a pretty nice one. Tons of aftermarket and quite cheap.

 

get something that already has a turbo......best bet is jetta or gti...chip is 500 as some1 else said 250hp....personally if i were getting a second car i would get a civic hybrid
