JB4times4 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hey everybody I'm Justin from Utah. I'm here because I'm looking to get a honda and invest in it. For now I'm not investing much because my job isn't reliable until the end of may. I'm not sure where to ask it, but I'd like to get everyone's opinion on what car to get.

JB4times4 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 You don't get fast and economic at the same time. I'm aware, but is there a car that is economic stock and then can be made fast all for the price budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 If you want potential to tinker with the car, want to have some money left over, want good gas mileage, and this is your first car, then I suggest you look for pretty much any 1990-2000 Honda/Acura. Those can run you $600 - $8000 depending on what you get, what year it is, what condition its in, and how many miles are on it. You'd probably enjoy a Prelude, Integra, Civic Si, Del Sol, or even a V6 Accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB4times4 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 So out of these what I'm getting is that a prelude has one of the bigger engines out of the rest? It even has more HP then the V6 accord. Am I missing something, or is this the best engine out of all of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers in these codes signify the engine's diplacement (size), such as 1.6L, 1.8L, 2.2L Do some searching for hp numbers on these engines if that's what you're looking for. Engines can vary by year and trim as well. Plus, you could always put on a turbo setup and double your hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB4times4 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 So after looking around a bit, It looks like a civic is the cheapest on insurance (4door) compared to pretty much all the others. I think I might go with that. If any car is going to be able to be modded then I'm ok with whatever. any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 IMO if youre going to do a civ.. you should do 99/00 2dr.. im not a huge fan of 4dr civ's but they can look really good if done correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm aware, but is there a car that is economic stock and then can be made fast all for the price budget? Yes, but once it's made fast you throw economic out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 del sol.. not the super fastest but we are talking about hondas here good thing about sols: 2 seater and targa top bad thing about all other hondas: the top doesnt come off (okay so maybe a s2000 does but thats out of his budget) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yes, but once it's made fast you throw economic out the window. turbo guys on d-series.org are reporting mpg in the low 30's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 turbo guys on d-series.org are reporting mpg in the low 30's Not when they're getting on it. Like I said, going fast removes economic. The Talon will get high 20s if I stay out of the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
