What should be my new whip?

[benji]

I had a friend who did the tradeschool thing in Arizona, and he was telling me that he saw more RSX motors with rods through the block than anything else for the 2 years he was there.

I'd go 92-96 SI VTEC Prelude, or maybe the SI Prelude with the H23 and boost it...

If your gonna get a damaged car for cheap, look for a s2000

If you're doing a full motor build, get a rear wheel drive vehicle.

My recommendation is to pick up a 92-95 Lexus SC300 (OBD1) and NA-T it or drop a Toyota Soarer 1JZ into it. Older SC300s can be purchased for as cheap as $3000 and it makes a great foundation as a project car. The 2JZ-GE motor is very similar to the 2JZ-GTE monster from the Supra and can handle immense amounts of boost with a thicker head gasket. Plus, the majority of Supra parts will bolt right into the SC.

Other than that, 240sx, while played out, are nice foundations for a custom build.

get the CB. drop a K24 block w/ k20 head. ITBs and call it a day.

Ultimately you have to ask yourself what do you want out of the car. Street, daily, track or drift? FWD or RWD? 4 or 6 cylinders? Oh and don't forget cost. BTW as much as I love Supras and RX7's, they are darn near hard to find used let alone wrecked. Maybe a 3rd gen Supra I believe 86.5 through 92 and 2 gen RX7's can handle some strange swaps such as the VG30DE 300zx motor and Chevy and Ford V-8s www.grannysspeedshop.com. SC300's have to be swapped most of the time for a manual and the ones's that are cheap are high mileage.

I have a cb7 and my ex had a rsx -s. They are soooo much fun! ultimately its up to you, but I loved that rsx it really was a fun car to drive. Fast and great pickup!

they are fun as hell to drive, i may just wait till i get out of college to buy one, but i really think i might build the turbo monster, hopefully while i am in college i can get the whole engine re-built and ready for boost, i wanna see around 360 whp or 400 whp, thats my goal, tha would give a c5 corvette a run for its money

Depends on your personal preferences. I suggest driving both cars and decide from there.

if you have enough money for an RSX-S, buy a RX-7 (only two letters off of CB7)
