Alright, now i don't know who can agree with me on this but god damn is it ****ing hard to buy a new car. I mean to me there is just so ****in much that i look for but i always somehow let my imagination drive and end up over my spending budget. The reason for me posting here is because there's a alternative; Build my accord.
I have a stock 01 accord. It's on its 2nd trans , and im believing that something is slowly going wrong w/ the syncros or i could be a ****tard. Anyway i drive it like im on pension w/ a broken leg . I'm thinking, what are my options as far as dumping money in the accord.
Yes i know i wont get any of this back, but this accord somehow fits me too nicely. I was looking at a4's, s4, 300c, 190E Cosworth (For all you who don't know what this is.... the time for Google is now), ls400, gs300, g35 and a couple others. so you can see the variety is definatly there. I'm tall... 6'5" tall. So anything thats too sporty is uncomfortable. the b7 chassis for the Audi is about bare minimum, as my gf's TT is too claustrophobic.
Anyway, to the point. With 10k what am i looking at as maximum reliable whp? Now if i can get away with similar numbers for say 5k less... thats nice. But like i said reliable. I drive 70mi a day easy so its gonna have to last. CL-s swaps have been considered and i saw one on cardomain thats making something like 359whp .
To summarize if my nonesence has bored u : Budget - 10-15k. Should i sell the car and get something else? or What are my options as far as maximum hp/reliability? If you have any suggestions please please please tell me.
Just please don't tell me to buy a cobra....
