My "dream car" is a 3rd gen Prelude with an H22 swapped in, probably boosted a bit as well.

Tbh most people who buy fourth gens tend to build them up and aren't to worried about mileage on the engine and trans.

If a fourth gen has a decent paint job, no major mechanical or electrical problems, and a halfway decent dash, I'd say it qualifies as "good".

Anything in the $5~7k range tends to be built up, t top, or basically garage kept by a boomer.

this nice Subaru SVX thats been on Craigslist for a while.

its half the price of my current car, is in great condition with low miles and has been well taken care of. only problem is that id be paranoid of dailying a 23+ year old luxury car and it desperately needs a manual swap like all SVX's.

Pretty good, identical to the 997 from halfway down and otherwise a decent top dash cover. This was the gen where Porsche got their shit back together in terms of interiors, especially coming from the literal GM-tier 996/986.

It'll always have to live down the stigma of "couldn't afford a 911", and the people buying a Camaro over something like a used Cayman tend to think Caymans are fag cars.
Or they just want a new car because hurr old cars will bankrupt you in the long run and will break the second you get home.

>>
1uz/manual swapped is300.

Pic not mine but same color. New phone who dis.

Plan is to start working on it and buying parts for it soon, but gotta do some suspension stuff first. Also need to figure out if I'm going to buy a second daily while the swap is happening or a busted is300 to mock things up in since they aren't that expensive for a meh example nowadays.

2jz's sound cool, but imo the sound is ruined by the turbos. Plus there's just something about a high revving NA v8 that gets me tingling. I think the v8 swap would be a better daily than a gte anyway.

Also plan on hand porting it and learning to tig weld to make headers and an exhaust while I wait for funds to roll in.

They aren't in the low 100s, just because you see them asking that on ebay or hemmings doesn't mean that's what they are being sold for. The market peaked last year anyway, they will fall back a bit. You'll be able to buy an F1 targa or spyder for $50k with 20k miles easily for the forseeable future. A pristine red manual hardtop maybe not, but who wants that anyway. The purchase price is the least of your worries though.

Former would be built for even more handling and cornering with slight power increase. A daily.

The RX-7 however would be a 3-rotor 20B monster with a peripheral port; screamer pipe; 3 or 4 inch exhaust (high flow cats, otherwise straight through for the most part); twin turbos.

Weekend warrior/track car.

My dreams are attainable thankfully. Right now own a Honda Accord 1993 at 244k miles and it's kind of beat up but I'm reigning it back together. But I will hopefully soon replace it for an MX-5.

Not my fault there's no other RWD convertibles in yuropoor with good support. There's MG TF, but I am afraid of parts availability.

Found a really nice one for cheap recently and bought it. Never actually thought I'd own a nice Skyline.

Mate, are you even Ozzy, brah?
Can confirm though they are fucking radical to drive, even if they are modern landbarges.

Shit, I really generally dislike Aussie Fords and Holdens, but I can't deny their appeal. If I had to get one I'd probably shell out for a Monaro, but all the manuals are thrashed to shit, and all the cheap ones are autos.

I remember EVERY single kid in my grade 2 class which wouldve been back in 1999, always said that was their favorite car/dream car, and desu I think half of them only said that cause it was the only car that they heard of, lol that's why I said it and it felt like the hive mind thing to do when you were asked what's your dream car back then
