So i got $10,000..

[Maxipads 10+ year member]

The storm that hit the west a couple weeks ago flooded my street and my 01 RSX Type S got flooded and the insurance company deamed it "totalled" even though it still ran. I guess if water get in the cabin its considered totalled cause of health problems like mildew or something. So they gave me $10,000 now i cant decide what kind of car to get? I can get a decent looking Rx-7 FD and fix it up.. or i can get a Rx-8, another RSX Type S, a Automatic Supra MKIV and ****** swap it for a stick, or an s2000? Im not looking for a sub machine car ahah im more of a "tuner" i guess thats the word... Jsut shoot me ideass!

i would have bought the rsx back off the insurance company and just cleaned it up and pocked the rest as profit

depending on how bad the flooding was, i probably would have done this too as long as there wasnt any electrical damage.

Ive been looking at similar cars myself and am leaning toward the s2000 for some reason.

The supra could be awesome but switching out trannys etc. wont be fun

My neighbor has an S2000 thats beautifull... he has a custom C-West Intake, and the only exhaust of its kind that came off the C-West Competition car.. ill put a link of in a sec...

Im strongly considering the Rx-8 and the FD but i got alot to learn about rotary engines.. lol

10 grand in Orange County? Look for an 86 or 87 Buick Grand National. There are a lot of them down there. Tons of power, tons of space... There is nothing like a little V6 that will stomp the crap out of most anything on the street.

Or i could do the Supra MKIV ****** Swap... 2JZ-GTE Inline 6 will shit on almost everything with proper tuning and what not...

I'd get an old school rx2 or rx3. I've been wanting to get an old vw bug also.

That's just me though, i'm sure your looking for something a little faster lol

S2000's are great, if you're like 6'0" at the max. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
