im looking for a car, has to be 4cyl and a 5 speed, i have 3000 dollars to spend, looking for opinions.

2

what are your future goals with the car, just drive it or eventually mod it? and whats your preference in cars, that will help you get an answer… but i say 91 nissan sentra SE-R.

3

i want something a little sporty, not looking for something along the lines of an echo, but a civic, or sentra, in that range, its mostly going to be used as a daily driver and eventually i might mod it

4

91-93 SENTRA SE-R.

5

240SX LOL, for 3K u cant get one w/ a sr20DET installed or a very very very nice 240 with a modded orginal motor. or early 90’s sentra se-r, or a Z31 (84-89) 300zx

6

my dad’s got a '98 civic coupe, 5 spd, new clutch, sunroof, fuckin incredible on gas, 140k

civic is the last thing i think of when i say sporty. then again i dont say early sentra se-r either, but i think these are better

9

whats so special about the early 90s sentras?

10

im talking daily driver sporty

11

light, nimble, SR-20DE, easy DET swap, not very common, 4 wheel disc, good chassis dynamics.

12

i never even thought to look at sentras

13

for 3,000 and you want semi sporty and 4 banger, its not a bad choice

14

:bowdown :bowdown, its the Nissan form of the civic, but better ;D

I’d get one. probably the best sleeper platform. civic has gotten over rated, and anything and every thing has been done to a civic

My 94 sentra, was Gunna paint, and get all se-r parts. but i had to sell b/c of the rust in the trunk and b/c it was a winter beater…i beat on it every day

i was also looking at golfs and miatas, so many choices

16

LS1 Miata.

17

lol, i was thinking a little ahead of myself on the miata, if i were to do a swap in a miata it would be a 5.0, already have an ls1

18

and if sean (91teg) chimes in, he can tell you how much i put that car through. i have it november 06 to march 07. 18K later it ran just as good as the day it was made. i drifted it everyday, almost rolled it drifting on purpose. had so much fun in that car.

19

buy my four door EK :slight_smile:

theres a 98 jetta TDI for 3500 for sale iirc… i think 150k on it and 50mpg’s
