Which car to replace DC2R?

[evarn]

Hi,

Ok.. So I have a DC2R which needs to go. My only problem is what can I get with the money I sell it for that has 4 doors and some poke?

Naturally I'm talking about a honda. But what do I get?

I either get an Accord, which is probably bigger than I need, or look at an older civic. But which to get?

I thought maybe an Accord VTi-S, if I can find one. Lower it, rims + exhaust and a stereo.. that should do.

Or, perhaps an EK civic sedan. Or maybe an EH sedan. The advantage of the EK is it's more modern, slightly roomier and (big plus) it has split fold rear seats. Not so important for the baby seat, but important for fitting in fishing rods and cricket bags!

BUT.. The older civic (specifically the VTi) had more power and is smaller and lighter... and cheaper, leaving more money for mods.

My query then is, which car has the most potential? Which car can I slap on a few bits and be happy with? (I know nothing will ever live up to the teg)

Can I get 120kw from either civic or woulda it be cheaper/easier to slap in a Vti-R engine? If so, where do I get a nice reco donk with go quick bits on it already?

........

oops... carried on a bit more than planned...

Thanks

Ivan

[OMG.JAI xD]

grab a jdm 4 door teg.

[he-tec]

I've got a r34 gtT sedan with coilovers on 19's if you're interested :)

[Spicey]

EP3R

I know its only got 2 doors but the back seat is quite accessible

[T-onedc2]

Euro + Jackson Racing Supercharger :p

[turbo convert]

easy EVO6:wave:

[evarn]

yeah.. ideally i'd get a euro and stick on some bits... but the teg won't sell for enough unfortunately

[bennjamin]

no discussion of prices or sales. You are a newcomer and will get banned quickly if you try ! Keep it to discussion guys :D

[evarn]

yeah fairy nuff too...

maybe i will get a used 78 accord and drive that around so i can keep the teg... hmmm

[bennjamin]

just keep ya teg dude....IMO.

or get a nice brand new scooter - for daily driving and saving on fuel + insurance like i am :)

[mrwillz]

i think euro!

[EKVTIR-T]

Start looking at other manufacturers since you're after a sedan.
Plenty of other options out there.

[[CRA23]]

Find yourself a jdm 4 door type R :D

[mattchuej8]

camry.
Aurion.

:) cant go wrong.
its not honda. but you know.
v ...vti
but they are both good cars.
or get a falcon. LPG should be heaps good.

[krogoth]

^yeh, good idea with the falcon

u can get one with lpg brand new, ba falcon

for about 19k driveaway

[r-r-redEuro]

save up abit and get a euro, you win some you lose some, power for luxury, and for a family isnt that what you want ? =)

[neut]

Get an Evo 9! AWD its SAFE! and im pretty sure u can add roof racks! has a big boot what more do you want!! :D evo 9 is my next family car!

[qstoria]

my k20ef8? the backseat is specially made for children :)

[simonnowis]

what about the 7th gen EP civic Vi 5door hatch, then put a k20 in, pretty much a civic type r but 4door lol

1994 Accord VTi-S with a H22A, problem solved!

[VTECMACHINE]

new wife!


sell the kid.


OMFG... ROFL!

[aaronng]

4-door Camry for $8000. (2.2L, 2 generations old). Keep the teg.

[Crapdaz]

should start a company called RENT-A-CHILD and your kid can be the first to be rented out.

[Frost_FD]

Keep the dc2r and buy another car...

[ton3z]

TRUE, a sedan is going to give you room for a baby seat.

but it is also going to give you more room for accidents to happen in the backseat...

then you will be posting up asking for which car to replace your civic sedan.

so you're better off just getting an odessey :thumbsup:
