I too have been debating this avenue. My civic just is'nt that fun anymore (Did I just say that?.). I have a buddy whoes uncle has pristine Mitsu Starion for sale for $4,000.00, and I have been thinking about grabbing it. Or, a 300ZXTT, previous gen Supra Turbo, or a 240SX and doing the 180ZX transformation. When I was 18 I sold my beloved 1982 280ZX Turbo and I am trying to find it. If it is still in half way decent condition, I will restore it and then some. I think I'm going classic on my next project. So, if anyone finds a 280ZX Turbo in good condition in Texas, let me know. I also had a buddy in the navy who had a 93' Ecplise GSX that was bad as hell so I'm also thinking maybe that gen Ecplise or Talon AWD Turbo.
