the only two cars i would really ever do are dsm's and sr20 cars (in 240's or old dautsons). i would look into dsm's if you havnt, they are GREAT project cars. and if you have a reliable daily driver they become all the better. im really biased though if you look in my reg. haha but ive played with alot of cars and theres a reason ive kept with dsm's. but i do love the sr20 as well.

From reading your post and saying you are more into quarter mile racing, I would choose the civic hatch, maybe a 92-95 style would be nice.

If it were my decision, I would go for the 240sx. I've been working with my friend on his for years and I must say, I have so much fun driving that car. His is actually a coupe model with no options, even without a motor swap, the car was fun. He picked up a spare differential and welded the gears for some extra fun.

After the timing chain broke on the KA, we swapped in a SR20 and it is a whole different beast. A nice little straight line performer but is still a blast to break the rear wheels from time to time.





Have a good one,
Justin

Thanks for the replys so far and Kyle Kurtz I did have a dsm only problem is I'll probly love the project car after I finish it soo much I'll probly be driving it most of the time. And for 240sx's they are nice. Still debating on one of them. and I kinda like RWD i had FWD all the time and Kinda been looking at RWD there so much fun deffenly in my cousin 03 cobra. So That why I was loking at a Thunderbird Super Coupe and 240sx's is there any other options. Civics are deffenly nice I like the 90 body style all jdm but alot of people have them which makes it a down fall for me. and I do like tegs for soem r eason.

yea rwd is alot of fun!!! haha for sure. so yea if you want rwd i would totally go 240. but awd is alot of fun too haha awd donuts are a blast i tell you what lol. i would stay away from thunderbirds, they are just way different from what it seems like your looking for. but good luck
