What if you didnt have a MX-3.. What would you drive..

Post by K8Boosted »

I noticed that everyone seems to have there own opinion on other cars besides our beloved MX-3's

For me, my dream car is a FD RX-7.. realistically this will not come true enless i buy a project one. I cannot see selling my mx to spend on a beater RX-7 :(

I also have a bone stock Black 1995 Eagle Talon Tsi Awd in mint with 75,000. I bought it with a blown 7 bolt engine and rebuilt it to stock because I didnt want to dig into the Mx-3 Fund.
So if it wasn't for the Mx-3 I would have the talon mentioned above with a built six bolt engine with the typical setup in the 11's i believe this to be true with the amount of time and money i spent on my MX-3.

Doesn't sound too bad but i think a little too mainstream for me.. I love every aspect of my MX and will only sell it to achieve my dream of an RX-7

If I didnt get my MX-3... I'd probally be driving a 92-95 Civic.
I know some of you dont like to hear things like that from an MX-3 owner, But it's true. lol

my dream car is an evo any gen basically, I love the car, on a more realistic note, either crx, del sol, maybe even a hatch civic 89-91 or something, something cheap and easily modifyable, maybe an FC or old 240sx, maybe even an mr2 or miata

I was looking at a 4x4 truck when I got the Mx-3, so maybe something along those lines. I did test drive a sport S-10, but my cousin knew the history on it, it happended ot be a lemon. Maybe a Mazda Mx-6 v6, I remember looking at a few of those too. I test drove a Speed3 and a modified Speed3 on a track last year, man was I very very tempted to get one, that's a nice car. Rx-8 too, damn nice car.

I'd love an FD, probably won't happen anytime soon. For what I want and for the price, I'll get a JDM FC I would like to say in the near future. I would like to this year, but I don't think it'll happen, I've got many unknowns going on this year, I'm trying to cut back on the frivilous spending. I do NEED a second vehicle, but not quite yet, my parents are recommending for me to wait since it's not necessary wtih my current job, not matter how inconvinient it is to not have my own and bring it down with me, but I can pretty much use one of my parents vehicle almost whenever I need, it can be arranged if needed.

Hopefully in the next few months I'll be getting a job back home. When I do, I'm pretty much set on what I want to get, either a supercharged Nissan Xterra or a 4cyl Mazda 626. Maybe an 05+ TRD Offroad Tacoma, but I'd perfer to spend less, gives me more spending money on the mx-3, as well as the truck itself, I know i won't be leaving it stock, I just can't keep things alone, lol, Plus, I'd rather take a 10k vehicle offroad than a 20-30k one, I won't feel so bad, especially if i happen to scratch/break something, and easier to afford repairs. It's going to be a very interesting and stressful year, so far things started off poorly. Mx-3 may have to be neglected a bit this year.

I'd have to go with an IS300, would have to turbo it tho. If I have to have kids, that's my 4 door of choice. Can't go wrong with the 2jz.

I really want a subaru WRX STI 2002 or newer.

I don't know much about them, but they are pretty cool according to the brochure. Other than that, I really like my Z, and maybe one day I will own my Suby.

I would like to get back in a Subaru. I loved my WRX. It was a great car. I'd go with a STI next time around though. It's a toss up between that or an EVO 9 MR.

I only got the MX-3 as a free replacement to the G2 Integra because my idiot friend blew the engine...

So if I never got it, probably still have the Integra...

HOwever, I do have my eye on a G2 RX-7 or the RX-8...would go for the G3 RX-7 if it didn't plow the road in winter...
