Help me buy a car.

[TranceNeo]

I was thinking about buying a car but i do not know what a good car to buy. I want like a sport car so i can sup up and race. here will be a list of car that i want to buy

1. BMW M3
2. Supra
3. RX-8
4. RSX-Type S
5. Nissian 350 Z

I want to buy RX-8 but i know that the engine, will be hard to fix. B/c it is a new engine. So i dont' know what kind of car to buy. But i really want to buy a Supra. But i do not know where to go buy it. I live in Virginia. I heard that in USA will come out with a Supra but i do not know when. Help me on this subject.

[R-34]

would you like buy a Supra from Japan instead? it cheap but you have to the shipping which i have no idea how much it cost, anyway what year of the Supra that you want and how much to want to spend, so i can help to find it.

[R-34]

here is 98 Supra asking price $9000 USD manual

[R-34]

93 Supra price $ 7,500usd

[R-34]

and if you want to buy brand new car, i would go for the Fairlady. Why? here it is, under $34000 loaded, 287 h/p at your command, Brembo brakes system is this count? Same engine as G35 (SKYLINE) BOSE sound system, 6 speed manual last but not least it 100% MADE IN JAPAN. If you want to buy sport car, i would for FR car i woudn't go for FF. Here is my thought about the M3 is too expensive it in $50.000 range with this kind of money why don't i go for Supra and put some TRD part on it you might have couple of grand left.

where is the website that sell supra for 9k and 7.5k at

[R-34]

hahaha look at you drool already? here is the site for it www.batfa.com bro

[TranceNeo]

well i would like to spend around 30.000 grand. But i really want a supra. But i heard that Supra 2003 will come out in America but i don't know if that true or not. But i want a 1999 Supra or a 98 is okay too. But i want to know how much it will cost to ship it over here. it only 9,000 in USA dollar?

R-34 what is Fairlady? what kind of car is that. i know a lot of car but never heard of this kind before.

[delsol912]

fair lady is 350Z in Japan.

[delsol912]

TranceNeo have you check autotrader.com ? I have found a lot of supra around the 30K range. If you buying a car from Japan and ship it over here to the US would cost you about couple thousands and you have to make the car pass the emmission test and then you have to register the car by yourself which is an ass. so I think the best way is go to autotrader.com or buying a local newspaper and look at the classified section, there is some supra for sales. if you need more help PM me or AIM me.

wait, doesn't car from japan has steering wheels from the right? will they let u drive like that in the US?

[R-34]

yes, i have a friend currently live in Los Angeles, and he is driving R-32 i think it legal otherwise they don't let him drive.

[dinhdong]

it's legal don't worry

[MuonChoi]

hey I thought only British and Hongkong driving with steering wheel on the right. And from the rest of the world, driving on left steering side. How is japan mix up in this.

[CUDEN]

early NSX would be the best choice

50% wrong and 50% right MuonChoi, Japanese is driving on the right hand except for export. For Nissan Skyline R's mostly are right hand drive but R is not available in the US, therefore it a right hand drive.

FF is Front engine front wheel drive
FR is Front engine rear wheel drive
MR is Mid engine rear wheel drive

[Nam]

Accura NSX::

From the way I see how the engine is posistioned, it looks like it's a front wheel driver vehicle.

But I think it's rear wheel drive! Is it true?

someone please clarify,

Thanks,

Nam

[R-34]

NSX, and MR2 are rear wheel drive Nam, when it come to MR cars it alway rear wheel drive it doesn't matter what country or what company, i don't know why.

[Nam]

R34,

Thanks bro for clarification. So the Toyota MR2 stands for Mid-engine (2)Rear wheal drive? I guess.

So the NSX must have the transfer case then...the engine's posiition is normally for front wheel drive vehicle...anyone agree?
