LOL. I said I want to daily drive it, not daily fix it.
If you find yourself a clean example you'll be okay, they are generally better taken care of than DSM's because the owners are usually older white or asian males lol Here is a good example lol, if it isnt sold before I get back I'll be buying it. http://www.galantvr4.org/ubbthreads/...page=0&fpart=1 |

Which was one of my favorite things about the Focus SVT. Most of them seemed to be taken care of and owned by the older crowd. I need to drive an SE-R. :eek: Spend 5 minutes on the focus forums and try not to want to blow your brains out lol... It's like all the vadriven rejects except over there it's cool to act like a retard |

I dd'd mine until I decided to restore the complete suspension, brakes, rearend, bushings, 5lug swap, etc. Now I'm building a crazy motor setup that most people never even tried before :)

You should be able to find an unmolested ZX5 SVT for $8k or less... As for aftermarket community support. It's not like having a Honda but it's decent. Focus Werks is the largest aftermarket manufacturer for the Focus: http://www.fswerks.com/ |
Re: Good auto cross/daily driver car?
DSM's were built in America and GVR4's were built in Japan (so not a DSM), you wont find a DSM plate on the car. There's your wifey technicallity, I had to do it too since we just had our first child last year lol.
But, I do agree with a bugeye or maybe a 5speed 3 series. |

Re: Good auto cross/daily driver car?
S2000 you can find one to close to that, a little more hp for your money than the money, six speed and 50/50 weight distribution. it also has one of the best stock suspensions for occasional track use.

Re: Good auto cross/daily driver car?
MIATA OR YOUR A GOD DAMN QUEER
