hardtop s2000

If you had to stay with Toyota and purchase something newer, what would you guys consider?

I'd probably try for a turbo'd 7th gen GT, or a hardtop 2000+ MR-S Spyder, with 2ZZGE swap.

well if it was somethin new then the 7th gen celica's turbo'd like u said but if any other toyota would be a 96 supra twin turbo...gotta love it
have u all forgotten about the JDM honda integra? i'd take that, its pretty nice lookin

It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....
I'd take the the S2000 or...the '06 SI civic...Yeah i went there! laugh.gif I love the new look of the civic...

my boyfriend is actually gonna buy one soon... theyre actually really aweosme smile.gif

I would take a Nissan Fairlady 300zx. One of my buddies in the Marines had one and it was FREAKIN SWEET!!!
If I had to get a Honda, I would probably either get like an 01 v-tec Prelude or like an 03 and up 6-speed Accord Coupe.

For any kind of other car I'm not sure. I test drove a few Pontiac GTO's and they drive VERY well: handling of a German car with the muscle of an American sports car. Too bad it looks like a friggen Cavalier. I've also looked at Audis like the A4 and TT, both neat cars but eh wouldn't wanna spend that much money. Also like the Nissan 350Z, that's a cool one in my price range. (If you all can't tell I'm looking for a new car haha to make my Celica a DD haha)

If I were to get a brand new Toyota car I'm not sure what it would be. I'd say either a FJ Cruiser or supercharged Camry

1999 Celica GT
ell if it was a honda i would get a 95 civic coupe with an ls-vtec swap and then go turbo, or 93-95 delsol with a k24 in it and go all motor. and if i got another toyota. iam not sure what counts here is it newer thatn what i used to have or newer in what has just come out? regardless i would either get a mr2 turbo, and from the factory right now either a tc or a solara
any civic that is 98 and newer and in good condition(great mpg)
s2000(great looking and handling)
prelude(2000ish good daily driver)
rsx type s(even better daily driver than prelude)

honda makes some nice cars, and i take them for what they are, sporty cars with good mpg. my WRX is for going fast biggrin.gif still gets 28-30mpg on the freeway too!

im actually looking to get a good daily driver. i have plans to pull 600+hp out of my wrx, by time that happens, gas will probably be almost $5 a gallon, lol

probably never will... but if i had to, it'd either be an accord v6 coupe or an s2000.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
I would never get a honda...but if that was the only company left to manufacture cars..I would consider the 06 SI, NSX, and S2000...
CBR1000 RR or Interceptor

Der.

I also wouldn't mind the Acura TL with a six speed.

Any other Honda I wouldn't be caught dead in... you're just asking for trouble.

As far as Toyota is concerned, I love all their stuff old and new, but the only new vehicle I'd consider getting is the FJ Cruiser... which I plan on getting soon.

The only other import I'd want to actually drive and own is a Miata... the old one, NOT the new one, puke. They really ruined an awesome suspension setup. Of course it'd need a turbocharger for good measure.

It's hard to impress me when it comes to cars. I don't buy into the hype of a lot of what's out there. I've driven too much and been impressed with too little.
I've had 3 honda's and to be honest they were great cars ..... no torque but good quality cars ...

99' Civic 1.4 lol
01' Honda Accord 2.0 vtec
and a lovely white 96' Honda prelude 2.0 16v frown.gif which i would still have if i could drive sensibly

hondas are not bad cars by ANY means. Its all the idiot drivers that give them bad reps. Oh and btw to the guy who said a fairlady, nissan isnt a honda, and why the fairlady? why not regular TT 300zx? or do you just wanna be "JDM"? lol

Don't worry, the Celi will still be around biggrin.gif

i know most of us dont like hondas that much. but if we absolutely had too, which honda would u want to own, and maybe what other sport compact cars would you take if you didnt have your 6th gen?


I own a Honda 95 EX coupe. It's not as nice as my Celica. I don't like it as much either. I don't belong to (or even visit) any Honda forums. I probably never will.
I had to get another make and model vehicle I would probably get another Datsun 240Z. I used to have an orange '73. I sold it. I couldn't afford to maintain three cars.

There's not a week that goes by that I don't miss it. It's different than the Celica. The Celica is more precise, smooth and reliable. I don't really like it more than the Celica. The 240Z was much more basic. I'd like to have both.

If I got another 240Z I'd probably go with a different drivetrain.
Last time I used modified Corvette parts. I had the engine out three different times. Each time. I added more power. The first time: a stock 1970. The 2nd time: mild Crane cam and a good rebuild. The 3rd time: aluminum heads and good street cam for the 355V8, automatic tranmisssion and a corvette rear differential.

Pushrod V8's have rpm limitations. Next time I'd probably go with a 4.6 literV8 cobra engine, manual 6-speed, Ford Expedition differential (I think). Eventually. I'd have to go with more boost than stock...

I love Hondas. The new Accords are nice. I want one. I wouldn't mind owning a prelude either.

Well guys...I may be leaving the toyota family for a 2002 S2000. Just happens that we have a STEAL of a deal on one in our wholesale lot. Silver 2002, 11,000 miles, amazing condition, $16,115. Since it was in a small accident the dealer won't sell it on the front lot, and I'm second on the list to get it (the first guy is unsure, he puts his name on every nice car lol)

so it may be that I have me an S2000 by the end of the day tomorrow!
