totaled, the evo.. now what? options...

Well as some of you know i did this a last weekend...

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=264147

anyways, im past the fact that its never going to come back...

Now i have to decide what im going to do with about 30k(i got a little cash too)...

1. 2004 is300 SpecialEdition 5spd... - GTE swap, 6spd swap, stg 3 turbo kit...

2. 1998 supra (modified) , and mabye if i can afford it top secrect final evolution kit(kit = 8k)

3.s2k /w 2jz swap

4. used m3

5. or is350...

ANY OTHER IDEAS ARE WELCOME!!! But sorry evo family im going to be leaving no matter what... i think my insurance is going to be dropping me and i cant afford evo insurance again.. especially now..

Thanks Travis

^ Yeh that's it you can't even handle an evo so why not go with something more powerful??? I would suggest a skateboard for you as they are hard to total, and cheap to replace.

Seem to be a lot of fools on this board wrecking these as of late! LEARN HOW TO DRIVE for crying out loud!!!!

if u were intelligent at all you would of looked at the link and read what i had there. Roads were wet, crappy cooper tires... please don’t make yourself look like a complete jackass and stop harassing me about how i cant "handle a evo" thats not why im changing cars i would stick with one if i could... like i said insurance.. it seems to me u just jump to conclusions... READ before u make ur self look stupid.

My crash had nothing to do with power... and im not worried about how cheap my next car is going to be BUD...

your insurance will probaly not be any cheaper with a M3, S2000, Supra, or any Lexus. Insurance companies rate not only on type of car but also by the cost of replacement parts, and of course driving record. Just something to keep in mind.

Any of those others cars will most likely be more in insurance. If i were you, I would get another Evo or Supra. All other cars are too played out. M3's meh. S2000, slow stock. Lexus, not worth the money. Evo or Supra for the win. And I dont mean to be a dick or anything, but blaming it on weather and ****ty tires is not an excuse. Just MHO. Good Luck with whatever you do

Yeah there are no excuses... i was totally sitting behind the wheel of the car and it was completely my fault.. im not in denial.. but i thought i had the turn and just 1 sec later i was sliding all over...

I was kinda looking for a unique car.. if i did get a is300 it would pretty much be a four door supra.. with a different rear end.. and some other small stuff...

But it will have a complete 2jz-gte and supra 6spd tranny. with stock rear and upgraded lsd... on pump i could hope for 500-600RWHP. +sexy white leather interior/indash 6cd changer.. blahblahblah

I kinda like the idea of having luxury and speed... while keeping it JDM...

yeah i really didnt think this was a pratical car.. just thought it was very sick! The same guys in FL can swap 2jz into a rx7 too.. badass work..

Uhh acutally i might be able to get a heavily used m5 or e55, but im not into worn out cars.. and i kinda want JDM while im young.. cause in a few years i know ill be rocking a BMW or AUDI...

That did cross my mind, but i honestly dont think i can find one for my budget.. i looked around and saw a few r34's for like 60+ then i saw a NEW one for 99,000!! haha

That car would be the sickest thing ever though... Set me up /w 1 for 40k and its mine ^^.. can i even get insurance on that car lol?

Here's an idea I've been tossing around a bit...

How about a 350Z or G35 (my preference) with a G35x drivetrain. It's been done before by these guys. Then you can do whatever you want for power, single turbo, twin turbo, stock, nos, sky's the limit pretty much.

I saw this picture and it really made me want to own a sick sick G35 that's done up sort of VIP style.

I would look at a new TR WRX. Then drop the other 6 grand left over into mods. The insurance on a regular WRX should be about $40 per month cheaper than evo insurance. That's just me though. I really don't like buying used c_rs. Especially used performance c_rs.
