hey what is better for me guys the rsx is nice, so is the 350z, but the less i spend on the car itself, the more i can spend making it crazy. that is why the rsx works well, what other car can i get (can be as old as 93. i dont think i want a crx, cause i am trying to stay away from honda)(yes i know the rsx is made by acura a division of honda, but they work a lot better)

ya guys sorry i have been busy with this stuff. The insurance company is not giving me money cause the car was so new and i pimped them for no down payment(which now is a very very good thing for me), and it was a lease, also i have gap insurance which takes care of the gap between the actual value of the car, and the total loan amount. that is cool otherwise i would be out about 2 grand right now. I am looking at a late model supera turbo, a 93 twin turbo rx7, or a rsx type s. i like speed, but i want something without a lot of problems, this is why i am leaning towards the rsx or the supra. As far as german cars are concerned, i think i can afford the m3, but i dont wanna work for the car you know. So i am gonna try to stay around 29,000 or under if i possibly can. Does anybody know a friend that has either a volvo s40, supera or (i know a lot of you) an rsx type s? cause i would like to be do my hw first, unlike being woken thrown into pants at 11 in the morning so that you could get a car. (My parents made it sound like they were buying the car for me,
, but when we started to sign the papers i found out they were making me pay 
.
And as far as the system goes, my friend is going to calibrate a register at his stereo shop, and get me reciepts for 2 jl w7's , and one jl 1000/1 amp, cause i dont have the origional reciepts for the other subs that were in there, i know i get money from the head unit. I am gonna see if i can get reciepts for infinity components. (I actually had those in there but i dont keep reciepts like i said)

The Supra TT is going to be VERY difficult to find that does not either has 1) high mileage or 2) beaten the hell on or 3) ridiculous price. My friend was trying to buy one and every one we found ended up have 1 of those 3 problems or all 3. She ended up getting a 97 Supra NA with like 55k miles on it for around 19k.
The RSX type-S is a very nice car, obviously. Cant go wrong with this....
As far as volvo- for what your going to pay for this I say get a BMW. The only friend I have that has a Volvo has an 04 S60R but thats alot more than you wanna spend I think. Its a nice car, but still a Volvo (even tho it has lowenhart 20's, kit, $10k system. etc. LOL)

Rep Power: 0 Well the fire originated from underneath the spare tire well not from inside of it, you can tell from the way the car is scorched and also form the way the paint colorization is faded due to extreme heat. So most likely it is part of the fuel system that caused the problem. hope you get it answered

Rep Power: 0 Hey you guys, i dont know if you remember, but a few months back my car cau ght on fire for no reason... I dont even know much about what happened, except that the insurance company kept brushing me off, and paid for the car. Now i have another car a 99 VW Passat 1.8Turobo 5speed. It is an awsome car and i am almost glad that this happened, only i really miss my old system. i will have pics of the car up in a few days, but for now check out www.clubb5.com gtg bye

yeah sorry to hear about your car. i say get a scion tc. The one with the super charger is 200hp with stock 17's at 18k. You save way more money then the rsx and you get bigger rims too. Its the same engine they put in the camry's so you know its reliable. As for the volvo, my friend has the 2003 volvo s40. Its a POS, not worth 26k, i'd rather get a v6 accord coupe. The factory turbo is nice on the car but the lay out sux. THe way they set all the buttons is really awkward and not as good as my 04 civic. For a 26k car, its kind of small as well about the same size as my civic coupe. I haven't seen the new ones though i think they redesigned it for the 2005 model. If you want to spend close to 30k, i say you just get a BMW 3series or Lexus IS.
