you're not gonna get anything good for 3k. it won't be clean and it will be high mileage. save your money.

please fuck up a shitty mustang instead of a good 240 or miata

Miata will feel awesome around the corners, light, and spirited. But on the highways it'll feel like your driving a Geo. About the same would go for the 240sx maybe a little heavier and faster on straights.

A turd gen will give lots of V8 feels. Fun in the sense of tons of body roll in corners, every turn is a gamble with death. Plenty of noise, the smell of fumes, and drowning in pussy. Not necessarily fast but it feels like it and both have plenty of aftermarket to become fast in straight lines in the future.

Every time i see a turd gen i picture white trash.

My neighbor has one with Corvette Rally Wheels.

Kek.

Jokes aside I've heard good things about welding the diff in a turd gen and it will surprisingly drift pretty well for you.

Foxbody is the way to go if you want bolt on power. Bolt on parts from an explorer motor and you get effortless gainz

C4 Corvette for both handling and power

It also needed repairs twice in the week before I sold it. Shit was always breaking on it.

>>15990938
Holy hell that engine bay is ugly. You could have at least bought some new hoses...

Could have, but didn't. I bought it the way it was with the intent of restoring it but I hadn't realized just how much it needed when I initially bought it.

OP here, so ive narrowed it down to a foxbody and a third gen, which is more reliable/easier and cheaper to work on?

>>15990625
>im planning on welding the diff whichever way i go for #fun

you are clearly only interested in going in a straight line, so get the foxbody or turd gen

>>15990731
This, drift tax is insane and clean 240s are basically impossible to find

>>15991044

Foxbody. TBI in the turd is a nightmare.

>>15992017
TBI really is garbage.
88 California and 89-93 fox are mass air. Not only do they compensate well with mods, but once you pass its limits you simply plug in a twEECer RT or moates quarter horse into the ecu and reprogram with your laptop.

Good luck finding one that's not rusted through or beat to shit.
