What's the cheapest car you can buy and gradually improve/modify as the time flies (increase power, install better suspension, change brakes) until it becomes street racing monster and you can go to the track with it?

This is a pretty stupid quesion.
The answer is any cheap car can be modified. You dont even need to modify cheap cars to take them to the track.
Buying my second car soon and looking for some advice.
Up to now I've only driven shitboxes, fastest thing I've driven had 200bhp and felt like 'wow' quick but not 'omg' quick. I've never been in a car with more than 220bhp.
I'm buying a car that isn't a barge and it has around 380bhp, how fast should it feel? Just wondering as I don't know what to expect, so if I take it out for a test drive with the expectation of shitting myself when I go WOT but it doesn't feel that quick, I'll know something about the car is probably fucked and I should walk away.

not around 400? how does your mind work?

bhp is just a number, if you buy a car only based on its horsepower you're dumb.

If I buy some high performance summer tires (streetable, not purely track tires) but have them on my car on an odd snow-day during the early Fall/late Spring (it happens sometimes) will they fall apart and become useless?

There is a guy who owns an evo but also liked to spend time and money on a fucking civic...
Why?

Daily and weekend or track?
Because he wants to?
Maybe he had the civic first and doesn't want/need to toss it?

Maybe he doesn't want to wreck the Evo doing amateur motorsports.

So, I bought this for about $1.7k a few days ago, and it came with the original keys from 1991, and most things are stock on it. But after putting the ignition cylinder to "LOCK", I went to bed this morning, and when I came out to go to work, the key wouldn't turn the cylinder. I figured maybe it just needed a wiggle, but still nothing.
>Tried calling locksmith
>"Only a dealership can help"
Is going to the stealership for a new key really my cheapest and best bet? Can they make a key for a car this old with just the VIN? Because if I have to get a whole new cylinder, I'll be losing the airbags for some damn reason and would rather avoid that route.

Nissan can make keys for any vehicle off the VIN, at least here in Canada they can. even if its a JDM car
you wont lose the airbag over the lock cylinder, dont know why you think that. when i was a mechanic we dealt with this all the time, you can get a new lock cylinder with blank key at Napa and go to a locksmith and say you need to get this key/cylinder combo matched, $40 later youre done. thats all we did, only thing is you need your old keys for the door lock cylinders
i dont know if you have to remove the steering wheel on S13 to get the lock tumbler out, even if you do you just unhook the battery for 20 min and the airbag is simple to remove and re-install

>>15841859
Holy fuck those keys are worn.
Did you try turning the wheel slightly? There might be a button too to unlock it
I have an old beat up 1958 dune buggy like pic related. What should I do to it? Everything is pretty rusty and seats aren't perfect, but it's a fun car. Pimp my car, /o/

pay attention to the struts and bushings. It's about time for replacement (if they are the originals)
also play with every single knob and switch in the car looking for electrical gremlins.

Almost hit a pedi today that apparently doesn't understand road signals.
I was turning right on a green light with a "do not walk" hand sign and noticed pedestrians near the intersection so I stopped. I saw a left turning car in front of me which I assumed was waiting for me to complete my right turn so I started making the turn and noticed the pedestrians crossing on the "no walk" signal.
I nearly hit them, motioned to the signal, and the guy started mimicking me. It's enough having to worry about other things on the road but when pedestrians start walking into roads where they are not permitted to do so, driving just becomes a guessing game.
Anyone have pedestrian stories?
