Anyone have any reccommendations for a good car new/used below 11k?

Few cars are considered "bad" under 11K.

Spring for a used 06 Honda Civic SI. Motor Trend Car of the Year and a tuners dream, I'm sure you could dig one up.

I have owned 2 cars in my life so far. a 1990 Honda Accord for less than 1k, and a 2001 toyota echo (yeah its gay but this one was free). anyway the echo gets around 30mpg which is great, and the accord was the most fun car i have ever drove. granted the honda didn't have all the much power, but the e-brake sure as hell worked, it was great in the winter (e-brake time again) and i once got it upto 115 on the highway...but it was on complete accident of course :P

I'm still looking for the turbo kit on a 7AFE that appers in Geo, Corolla, and some Celica's. If not then I will have the machine shop make me some parts.

Governors suck eh?

I would like to find a super cheap turbo or supercharger for the Mazda BP1 engine...

My Escort GT would pick up a lot of speed... I timed a bad run of 0-60 in 11s with a friend in the car

(before I learned how to SHIFT!

)

I however find amazing, that my 127HP Escort can handle > 120MPH.. Yes, I have taken it that high!

Stats of my car.

I'll upload pics later, maybe. It's very ugly, but it's a Citroën, so I like it.

To bad I spend like $70 per week in gas.
