I’m about to buy a 90 RS (5 speed) in pretty good condition, 112k miles on it, for about $2k-$2500 depending on what the guy will take. This will leave me about $3000 to spend right away, but i’ll have to fix up the paint chips and rust first, so that’ll cost some moola juding by the size of the chip (3" and it’s rusted, and there’s a rust ring below that). I think i’ll get an engine swap so i really won’t have to worry about repairing the engine that’s all ready in the car, and i’ll have a nice 160hp under the hood instead of under 130.
I’m thinkin i should get a b16a once i get the car, find some place to put it in, then i’ll have around a $1000 to spend on mods. Probably get rims and have it lowered, which will eat up that thousand, unless my 'rents will chip in…
