SilveradoGoesBang Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 What's a good car to go with for my first major build. I've done some installs of just a sub I'n my car but I wonna build my own bass car and hopefully be able to compete I'n comps. What's a good car for that preferably easy to work on and around 10-12k at most. And hopefully I can find one without alot of miles so I don't have to do lots of repairs thanks. Not a trailblazer plz hate them no offense to anyone Quote "SilveradoGoesBang" http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155256-silveradogoesbang-box-done-take-notes-on-bracing/ 2 FI BTL 18's CT Sounds 7k 2013 MidwestSPL Finals Xtreme 3 - 1st Place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 What do you want in a car? Body style (sedan. coupe, suv, reg cab, ex cab, crew cab, convertible, van), drivetrain, etc?

mxer111 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 anyone got any ideas? Probably pretty much any 2 door hatchback would do what you want. Crx, civic hatch, mazda mirage hatch, I have even seen an old chevy chevette doing high 40's. You can get something decent for alot less than 10k if you go with early to late 90's stuff. If you want something bigger 2 door blazers get pretty loud. Explorers. you can get alot of stuff loud so it depends on preference i guess. Caprice wagons have lots of room but nobody wants to drive them lol. Get a caprice or roadmaster wagon with the lt1. Bag it on 24's laying body and put a decent system in it and you'll still be cheaper than buying a 10k car if you do the work yourself. If I had 10k just laying around I would buy a 65 ford or chevy pickup. Front clip it and bag it on 22's or 24's. Put 4 15's in a blowthrough and lay frame. Thats just me though. Doing 150's in an old car or truck is badass and it suprises the hell outta people. Quote Looking for a CRX to get back in the game. And a gas tank for my 01 r6.

SilveradoGoesBang Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Yea but the only problem with older cars is lots of money if they break down cause I won't it to be a daily driver also Quote "SilveradoGoesBang" http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155256-silveradogoesbang-box-done-take-notes-on-bracing/ 2 FI BTL 18's CT Sounds 7k 2013 MidwestSPL Finals Xtreme 3 - 1st Place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautical7 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Basically I won't to be loud as hell lots of money To be 'loud as hell' you'll need quite a bit of money to do it right and have it last. Anything hatchback will be loud off of a little power, though. I suggest you do some research on what you want and plan it out if you're planning a build around a vehicle. Set your goals first then go from there, but people come on here all the time wanting to be loud as hell and I'd say 90% of the time they fall short because they don't know what the hell they're doing. Save yourself the time/hassle and figure out what exactly it is that you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any car can do good in a competition as long as you do a good build. I'd say 90% of a system is in the box design, the rest is equipment.
