nissan 240sx toyota mr2 nissan sentra.

depends on how much your willing to spend.

get 240 cheap. and they are a bad ass car. espically with a sr20det swap. my friends got on in the progress of that. bought car for 3K and motor tranny for 4.5-5K.

it all depends on how much work you are willing to do. Any car can be had for cheap if its in less than stellar condition. Older mazdas (I'm thinking MX3) are nice if you can find them. I love seeing 240sx's on the road, as was mentioned above. Older toyotas are nice, specifically an older supra or celica.

The problem with older imports is that parts are not as widely available as, say a 92-95 civic. If you can stay above the 90s, you'll be in better shape.

with a little thinking and brain storming i thought of which car to get its a perfect car from what i want. Its a 1970 - 1972 Datsun 510. this car is an import like i wanted its light and i can swap a SR20DET or a rotary engine. The car is very simple so its easy to wirk on it and everything about this car i love so im sticking with it. I was looking for info on it and this car is just perfect for me so i think im going to go with it. thanx for all ur help.

and heres a pic of the car

yea I was about to say best bang for your buck, course it depends on year of car, mileage, condition, how fast and where your spending limit is. If you're not looking to spend much and want a real tuner car. I'd say check out the older mr2 like someone said above or if you want a little more speed the a 91-94 I think is the years, awd turbo eagle talon. DSM cars take well to mods and they're fairly easy to upgrade/work on. They are pretty cheap to buy and build so that might be an option for you. If you're looking to spend money in the higher range try a 91 turbo mr2, some bmws but watch out for the pricey parts, maxima kicks ass stock but you'll pay a lil more for it. There's a lot of nice cars to choose from I'd suggest reading up and check ebay for one certain car you like. It's really personal preference as to what you choose so good luck. Hope this helped.
