A supra is definetly nice, but if you want reliability, and fuel economy go for a Honda. i got a 97' GSR integra for $6300 about 6 months ago, and i think its perfect for someone who is just starting, plus insurance isnt the worst. and with not a lot of money invested you can get decent results out of it

yea maybe an older teg would be something to consider. Also if its your 1st car something really fast and sporty might not be a good idea.
but if your not planning on buying a car for 2 years youl be 19 then..insurance might be a tad cheaper depending on where u live.

i don't really suggest going with anything with a turbo if its your first car, i mean for 8 grand you could probably get a decent turbo car, but its not gonna take long before starts to break and unless you know your way in the garage its gonna cost you a lot. anything like DSM, 13B rx7s, MKIII, etc. is not gonna be new for 8 g's so you should start thinking about something different for your first car. i'm not saying this applies to everyone, but if you're thinking about putting a 2JZ GTE into a Legend, you should consider the likes of an MX6, MX3, Integras, civics, or anything non-turbo.

The swap alone will cost you at least $8000 and no it won't work without extensive chassis modification and custom everything.

for $8000 you have a bunch of nice cars you could go with . A Corolla, an acura integra , a 1.6 el , honda civic or accord or even a late 90's grand prix gtp. If you are looking for fast, can swing the insurance and dont mind old school try a T-type , stang, early 90's supra, rx7 or firebird/camaro. Your best bet would be look at an Auto trader or the TSR classifieds section. There are many more types of cars there that would be in that price range and not as common as the ones mentioned above as well.

Mines $139 a month on a 90 beretta gtz, liability only. Which is not too bad but i would prefer if it was lower.
