Is this why miatas are the meme car in America? There are literally no other options.
FUCK this car market
Learn patience, Grasshopper. At any given time Craigslist is full of the cars nobody snatched up immediately

the best meme cars of murica are the following:
mazda miata
ford foxbody mustang
bmw e30
>>15050596
True and literally the equivalent to the three starter pokemon.
Figure it out op
>>15049598
Have you looked at Fiero's?
Say what you will about them, the fuckers are everywhere, cheap, and in all conditions.
Before you bitch and moan, the Fiero IS on the sticky.
>>15049598
>tfw bought bone stock, and I mean stock everything. Everything. 240sx in great condition for $1300 in Tennessee. Only bad thing is it was automatic, but it came with a manual trans, which is right at home now completely swapped over. Pic is what it looked like upon purchase.
>E46
That's all you need
>>15050631
Yeah, I too remember high school
>>15050659
I'm glad you haven't suffered from any memory loss. People seem to forget that it's a growing problem.

>>15050623

>>15050689
>No way
Why not? The Fiero has amazing aftermarket and an amazing following.

There is not a sports car with a better following to be found anywhere. And they're great cars.

Too old and not for sale here
>>15050596
>bmw e30
Good luck with that one.
NO FWD ALLOWED
I WANT A SPORTS CAR
I WANT TO COMPETE
I think the miata market is a bit inflated but you can buy an e36 for near pennies. The biggest problem is mostly just the M3 had an lsd.
I think it's weird that americans, by stereotype, love BIGHEUG trucks and MUSCLE CARS... yet they limit smaller jap/euro cars due to emissions.
It boggles my little australian brain.
>>15050718

how the ever living fuck was that shoehorned in?
what trans?
>>15051185
LT1 with a 4T60-E trans. While this is awesome and manly, I would have done the SHO swap.
>>15051266
Nope.
>>15051185
It's a GM LS4 5.3L V8 from a 2006-2007 Chevy Monte Carlo SS, 2005-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP, 2006-2009 Chevy Impala SS, or 2008-2009 Buick Lacrosse Super.
The LS4 is very different from the other LS engines in that it has the transmission bolt pattern of the V6's. The same transmission bolt pattern as the Fiero's original transmissions.
So there's a lot of transmissions that will work, but the most popular are:
4T65eHD - 4 speed automatic. All factory LS4 cars had this transmission.
Getrag F23 - 5 speed manual. Has to be from a 2000-2002 Chevy Cavalier or Pontiac Sunfire with the 2.2L pushrod I4.
GM F40 - 6 speed manual. GM's current FWD 6 speed manual whore. For the variant with the proper bolt pattern, must come from a 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 GTP.
There are many others that will work. Any transmission capable of bolting to a 3800 or any one of the 60* V6's will work.
V8 Fiero swaps are nothing new (pic related). GM prototype Fieros were tested with V8's so it isn't an issue space-wise. There's plenty of room for a V8 without modifying the chassis/frame rails.
>>15050583
OP why haven't you done this?
Why not just get an EF or EG civic? Those are really good in the price range
>>15050762
e30 is under 10k, the m3 is the expensive one
>looking for rx7
>all overpriced
>junkiest one is all rusted over, probably doesnt run but still $3000
How about I die
>>15051346
because its a civic
>>15053276
I could have bought a first and second gen rx7, both non running, for $600 last year. Look around.
Just buy an MR2 instead of some GM garbage.
>>15053276
>$3000
You need to have a bigger budget than that if you want an RX-7 m8, it was never a cheap car. You need at least $8000 for a decent one from Japan.
>>15051301
Stolen Fagaros put your trip back on

I call it Miami.
>2k for mr2 with blown engine
>>15053469
but why
>>15053761
Because when I trip up, people tell me to stop being an attention whore. I've said before I had no problem going anon and I only tripped up when a number of anons gave me a nickname and asked me to trip up. I'm sick of the arguing over whether I'm an attention whore because people asked me to trip up.
Fuck off.

I feel like I have helped many people in Miami. But this season is just terrible.
>>15053915
so much fwd
>>15050780
Compete in what nigga? You are talking about $5k cars. A set of nice tires is more than your monthly income.
>>15053925
What the hell is going on over there with that market? It's ridiculous .
If anyone complains on /o/ over not finding a car they're probably in Miami.
Is that the fucking down syndrome kid from miami again?
>>15053976
I don't think so. We've had a couple of Miami people funnel in looking for anything.
>>15053614
If you are not willing to drive at least 500 miles for the perfect car just give up.
>>15053915
Corey is retarded miami lad. Don't respond

second gen turbo is pretty fast and the handoringu is great
>>15054037
Shit, even the AW11 supercharged is pretty fucking quick, that double nigger is just a retard
If you're open to fwd i'd try for a 2nd gen Integra or a B13-14 Sentra SE-R
>>15054014
Corey is in Nevada , blacklisting an entire city is a bit overkill. He doesn't even pull the Miami shitpost anymore.
>>15053906
What the fuck do you think I'm doing?
>>15054049
Why do you keep feeding the shitposter?
>>15054044
I almost bought one instead of my SW20 but I couldn't find one that wasn't clapped out
>>15054052
He's pulling it right now minus the miami part.
>>15054058
I considered one solely for those sweet angles, but at the end of the day the SW20 is a better, newer and easier to daily car.
>>15053915
thanks for tryin
>>15054049
I have no problem with fwd but I cant find those cars
>>15054051
this isnt me
>>15054056
Im not a shitposter
I want something at least early 90s I dont trust 80s to not be lemons here
hope you understand after browsing the craigslist
>>15054071
Easier to daily, how do you figure? I thought first gen had more luggage space
>>15054078
It's the opposite, second gen has much more luggage space.
The interior is also more spacious, comfortable and more tall people friendly.
Better for highway driving too.
>>15054100
>tall people friendly
not with these fucking Tenzo R rasekar seats
I hit my head front and back with the t-top off, I need to find out what stock seats fit the MR2
what do you guys think of :

>>15049598
3 series bmw
e36 coupe, comes in 4 or 6 cylinder, rwd, mostly manual, dirt cheap

S14 looks nice, ESPECIALLY for that price
>>15057258
The only good thing about him tripfagging is that I can filter him, even if he does change his trip every week
>>15057282
It's so good I don't trust it,
The s14 dash is fucked slightly which I don't really mind.

Not exactly but it was in the nearby listings:

That's not what happened at all. 25 year rule comes from Mercedes USA's greed.

>>15057723

Are they really that good, I wanted to get one but the dx only has 102hp, and my car is slow as hell and has 160
>>15057771
They're a decent buy , nobody is buying them for the engine though.
Lightweight
Good suspension (ef is best)
Fantastic aftermarket.
If you want to go a bit upscale and modern you can go for EP3 and reduce some weight, solid chassis.

Something about a fiero having more hp/weight than a snek is compelling. Should I?
>>15050718
I actually knew the guy in the first video. He was my brother's best friend. We grew up in the same town. His car turned out beautiful. And not to worry br/o/ther's, the Fiero is staying in the family and is being kept pristine. Too many feels for me at this hour of the morning ;_;
>>15060220
Yes, and you shouldn't have to worry about the frame bending because the space frame is quite rigid, does it have auto or manual transmission?
>>15051413
The E30 market has completely dried up. They're on 240SX levels of attainability right now. The E36 has taken the E30's place.
>>15060220
That Spaceframe chassis of the Fiero is extremely rigid. Go for it!
