project car/323 questions

[dylan]

hey everyone, im wanting to get a project car. the goal at the end is to turbo it. im not sure what kind of car to get but the 323 is an option. i want a car that i can pick up cheap and one that has cheap insurance. can anyone think of some more cars that would be like that?

now to the 323 questions... how much did you guys pay for your 323's, and how much is your insurance for it. if i get a 323 id swap the bp in it (thats pretty easy right?).

Id go with the 323, you should be able to pick one up in decent shape for around $500. Insurance depends on the company you buy from, the state you live in, your age, and your driving record, so it's hard to give an estimate. AFAIK swapping in a BP would be very easy. Im currently in the process of saving and searching for a 323 myself. I already have a GTX motor waiting to swap in. Good luck!

i think 323's are kinda ugly but i was following one today and looking at it, they arent too bad... i want a blue one... doesnt matter tho lol.

insurance on my protege is about 1100 a year. so probably about the same/mabey a little less?

The ass end on the 323 are kinda iffy, but if you throw on the upper and lower spoilers, full GTX/GTR kit, some wheels and a drop, they are pretty sweet.

I would imagine the insurance rate would be similar to your pro, they are basically the same car.

In stock form the 323's are a bit plain. Invest some $$ into the car and it's another story. For example, look at this beauty:

The 323 is light and a small turbo like the VJ-20 will make it a rocket!

oouch !!! words are so harsh.... " i think 323's are kinda ugly ".
I never notice this cars only HONDA's until I saw a nice ass 323 on my way to VEGAS....

The only thing that i dont like on this 323's is the rear section of the rear then all the way to the back hatch but with the help of my $16 spoiler it made the car look real nice...

I'm 24 and paying $66/month for my full coverage insurance or you can get a Liability insurance for $40/ month

i started building this car in 10/02. After a year i've have most of the parts I wanted.
You can get this parts at the junkyard for cheap. Oh ! just so you know the dohc engine is only $176 and thats regular price w/ 120.XXX miles or less...sometime they have 50% off. Mostly on the long weekends.

well dont get me wrong, im just not a big hatchback fan. the front half of the car is nice, its the back half that "im not too sure about". i like my protege and i hear you 323 people talking about how quick they are with just the DOCH swap, and if it handles as good / better than my protege then id definitly like it. this is going to be a sleeper car so i dont want to spend much/any money on looks(unless it needs a paint job/dents in it then itll get fixed).
