ok so as some of you know, i have a REAL job now and make quite a bit of money. i am torn as to what i should do with all that money though. i have narrowed it down to 3 options, but cant decide on which i like best.
1.) keep current 240, buy uncle's Isuzu Vehicross ('cuz its the coolest suv-type vehicle in the world, stock recaros!!!) as DD, and build a jdm 180sx

2.) get rid of current 240 and buy nice s14, then turbo it, no sr20 or nothin, just ka24det-t, OR buy GC8 chassis suby 2.5 rs and swap in jdm ej20det

3.) save for '02 wrx, 300zxtt, 3kgt, rx7, something of that nature

if you have any comments on what is good/bad about these options. thanks

There's a few things you might want to keep in mind.

Figure out your total budget and payments. Is this job just for the summer? If your income is going to fall off during the school year or is only temporary, you might want to look into socking it away and re-evaluating in a few months. Either way, it might be a good idea to follow that path just to have a "cushion" just in case.

As to the Isuzu- Recaros can be had and put into any vehicle so I wouldn't buy it if that is the deciding factor. Unless you do a lot of hauling or routinely have 3 passengers plus (i.e. family guy) then you'll be paying a lot of money and a lot for gas for the larger vehicle that you won't really be using. These are dollars that could be used for speed parts.

The 240- Why sell it just to buy another? I don't get it. Also turbocharging the KA20 isn't really the best option there. There's a reason these guys go with the SR20 swap.

2.5RS Suby- Why all the effort to take the same car as everyone else and 'make it different'? I hope you realize there is a LOT of expense, maitenance, and things that will break when you build one of these custom set-ups. Hopefully you plan on investing similair amounts of money in tools here.

Personally I think you'd be best off saving for that newer WRX in your case. Newer car with fewer things to break. But still a nice turbo AWD vehicle.

As to the supercar category (RX7, 300ZX, etc.)- Keep in mind that you might be able to afford to buy a lot of these cars but not be able to afford to own them. In '96 I owned an older Porsche 928S (mmmm V8 Porsche). It was a classic example of a car that I could afford to buy but not afford to own at the time.

I'd reccomend driving what you've got, socking the cash away, and then deciding in a few months if you're ready to see that bank account dip down as you plow it all into that WRX.

Just my $0.02 though
