dubman 39 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 Get a Honda Integra 1.6 non vtec. Auto's are around 1.5k range for a 1993 model, or get a b18c for 2k ish. They're fun to drive, and economical as. Make sure you get one with cambelt done already, or get them to slash 300 bucks off, coz it costs around 300 for a SOHC cambelt replacement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 Yeah, there isn't really anything on TM atm... Everythings manual for once.. Integra's not a bad idea, Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vonripsnorter 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) I had one of these Audi 80's many years ago & had it for years too & it was an incredably reliable car with absolutely no issues what so ever & I sold it to a guy (who has a Mazda sp20) whom also had it for 5 years after me & told me it turned out to be the most reliable car he had ever owned as he too, had no issues at all until his son wrote it off in an accident!! The biggist Achilles heal with this model can be the Auto trans as the seal between the diff & trans can leak causing the two oils to mix Edited January 9, 2010 by vonripsnorter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fuzyfrog 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 I had an Audi 80 for awhile. No issues at all aslong as the gearbox is maintained on the autos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
