Mazda Miata just kidding ignore this sentence LOL but seriously I would say a Nissan 350Z is the best project car. That's because it's the modern Nissan 240SX according to some people's perspective. You can get them for almost dirt cheap but low mileage ones can cost more, trust me I've seen it and I hope y'all can somewhat agree with me on this.
Petition: when a random wheel is mentioned that no one knows exists (ie 15 times in the video) please just put up a little graphic of the wheel so we know what on planet earth you are taking about
Don't look for a base model one. Look for the ones with at least the Z51 package. Better suspension, and the differential is a higher ratio for better acceleration. Parts for pop up head lights on C5's are getting scarce.
@@Dcc357 Of course, manual and Z51 are essentials. Really all depends on total price (vehicle plus needed upgrades.) C6 Z06 working down to 2000s base C5.
@@Dcc357 oh well, I got my base 2004 for $7000 with the Z06 exhaust and it does have the 6 speed manual. For that price you can’t beat the cool factor.
yeah man i do too but honestly, if covid didnt hit this mercedes would have FUCKED me. i had to order a clone Star disgnostic machine just to be able to scan it. It gets here tomorrow, maybe next week itll be boosting again
My dude mentioned the 3kgt!! I feel they are so slept on but it's a good thing since I started hoarding parts for my self to keep it in the road for years to come
@@yashka7137 not interested, I drive a fbo and tuned 370z .. been driving that for a while now and told myself that my next car has to have more HP from the gate
I have a project car, i mean, it does spend a shit ton of time in jack stands.... Achiles on mine is that it is a piece of shit, its a megane mk2 dci, so yeah, im JK, its just a shitty daily driver cause i cant afford anything better......................
Dude, Mitsubishi 3000GT break down so much, that you will literally spend more time in garage than actually drive it. It is incredibly unreliable, there is a reason why they are cheap
@@dylanorr2127 Love the car but the only problem is that with my height I had to switch to E46 seats since they sit lower. Before with the stock seats my head would hit the headliner
I love my 05 E55 AMG, get one while you still can they're starting to get expensive and hard to find. Extremely comfortable, more reliable than you'd think, and are a bit of a sleeper. Its a big 4 door benz and people don't think much of it until you're gaptizing camaros and mustangs left and right.
@@rs3hank they are quite rare here in Washington. Coming from a bmw enthusiast I think the only downside is is giving up the manual transmission, looks and driving experience but hey for nearly 500 horsepower I’m ready to become an AMG boy 😂
Infiniti G35 sedan. (The 03-06) RWD, a plethora of swap options, can find them everywhere (which makes them alot easier to find parts for, I can go to the junkyard and find about three of them crashed out), they're cheap (literally got mine for $2400) And they're slightly lighter then the coupe counterparts. You can even make them into VIP car. They're the 4 door 350z's when you think about it. 👀
If you want a affordable Nissan project car (my ranking) 350/370Z, 7th gen Maxima (Yes it’s a CVT but is a great car, good performance, and it looks sick on some Z nismo wheels), S chassis (if lucky)
please please PLEASE if you are going to list a ROTARY please tell people it is not for the faint of heart because they take patience and money... i am tired of seeing people buying rx7’s and rx8’s, blowing them up and junking them because they dont know how to take care of them. the rotary community does not need to lose another rotary to peoplewho are not willing to learn how to pay to play
my uncle got a e36 328i hes selling, paints trash, interiors ripped up, convertible roof doesnt work, windows dont work, but its got about 130k on it, should I buy it? if so how much should i offer
My first big project is currently a retired 09 police Dodge Charger. I recieved it with no engine but everything else included. Just recently finished putting in a 5.7 hemi from a Chrysler 300 and started it for the first time. Still have alot of work to do but I'm having alot of fun with, especially considering I've never remotely been interested in owning a Dodge.
Just picked up a 1992 SC400 and it’s a great car. I got a good price and the car is in really good condition. It is how ever an old car and many of the plastic pieces are broke af😅
Don’t listen to what anyone says, I think the 400’s (LS, GS, SC) are much better than the 300’s. That 1UZ-FE is no joke. My old GS400 that I used to have had 300hp from the same motor.
I have a '94 vr4 that I'm currently building for track and I can agree with what Alex said. This car has been an AMAZING project car that flew just under the radar so not all the parts have been marked way up. Love it. Would recommend
@@chrishasflo8170 An SL would be easier to learn on because theres a little more room without the turbos and piping and the car will be more forgiving plus does have the option to turbo later. or you could do what i did and just sent it on the twin turbo VR4 with slightly more than basic mechanical knowledge and praying lol. the community is pretty great and helpful when you need it. just be prepared for a lot of bloody knuckles cause there is not a lot of space to work with
00-07 focus. They're cheap, they handle, and had some performance models(svt, roush, saleen) sucks thay the aftermarket is small and they have a dumb lug pattern
The best part of an rx-8 is that it has some of the best steering and handeling of any car, you can do your basic intake, exhause, rad, oil cooler and get all the fun noises and make it reliable. BUT, the cost to make it high horsepower is so much that you would be stupid to do it. Make it so you cant get yourself in trouble as those are the expensive things that blow motors and get you speeding ticket. Also it will improve the driver on the track.
Only car on this list I would take is the C5 Corvette. I was bout to get one, like so close to gettin it as my first, but my pockets wasn't big like that. Now, I would think bout gettin one, maybe. 😂 Still tryna get a GTR doe
I’m thinking of buying a C5 Corvette next year but I want a rear wheel drive JDM car tho. My girl wants an Infiniti G35 V6 cuz it has 4 doors and it’s rear wheel drive.
If you're looking to buy a RX-8, No matter what country you're from or anything. Please put into consideration that the engine is super fragile, it needs to be taken care of daily and you really need to keep on top of maintenance, otherwise a little fuck up turns into a big one. If you're looking at one, they tend to love rusting on the Trunk/Boot and the inner and outer sills. I also recommend you get a compression test done on them also, that will either break you or save you. You're ideally looking for high 6's or 7's for a healthy engine. You also want to start the car and warm it up till it's to its temperature, then turn it off and try turn it back on. Some RX'8s tend to suffer with a hot/start problem which is something quite common and you should look out for. If your engine sounds anything like mine, well run away lol, mine exploded. Once you've bought it, if it's a perfect engine, always warm it up before driving. The cars loved to be revved also, so every now and again, give it some down the road, let it rev out. Stops carbon build up in the exhaust, they can get hot to the point it either melts the Cataclysmic Converter or burn the truck/boot floor. Everytime you come to filling up, always put premium fuel in and put premix or 2-Stroke oil in after. Keeps the engine lubricated and can prevent apex seal wear. And before you go on any long journeys, always check the oil and fill it up. Usually If you put that all into consideration, you have a reliable RX8 on your hands. Especially if you own a Series 1 like I do. The same follows for the S2 and R3 model. If you got anymore questions, feel free to ask me below.
I will pick up my own project car sooner or later. I definitely love the thumbnail of this video, it looked cool. Most of these cool cars shown in this video remind me of hot wheels when I was a little kid. No wonder why I like cars so much.
@@gordythecreator Ooooffff ouchhhhh sorry to hear that. I was 19 when my parents gave me and my twin brother our first car to share which is currently a '03 Toyota Camry LE. I will at some point buy my own car with a stick shift after I take stick shift driving courses just so I don't wreck my dream car with a stick shift.
