I need a DD, or how I got frustrated and asked GRM to help me find an MX6.

Since I neglected to specify my location, I'm in Jacksonville, NC. Edit: I've been looking at Probes, but I won't pay more than a grand for one. I know it technically hits all the same points the MX6 does, but I just don't care for them. If someone has a stupidly cheap Probe they can put me onto, I'll settle and probably be plenty happy with one. (Edit 2) There's a Probe listed in Raleigh for 900, and if I can somehow make it there this weekend, I'll take a look at it. I'd still rather have the Mazda just because they're less hideous.

I have a brother in Pitt- We can make this happen.....

Holy happenstance Batman! You've got one of those email things.

Also, if anyone else has some sort of suggestion, aside from something running an F2T, which will stand up to ridiculous boost and can be easily cobbled together by someone in a parking lot, feel free to point me in that direction too.

My other go-tos are 5th or 6th gen Celicas, Corollas like what mndsm just got, and anything BP-powered.

Oh wait... you said "stand up to ridiculous boost."

Really to get on the F2T level, you're looking at the right deal on a DSM and hoping it stays together, and is much harder to work on, or something 3sgte powered, which will be more expensive and harder to work on.

You're looking at single cam things. Turbo dodges, which might have a power/aftermarket/community edge, but i don't think the chassis is as good, or... Z31 300zx Turbo? Those are cool. I like those.

I know of a sweet 6 bolt DSM, but the cage means a helmet is required at all times, not the best to daily

The only thing I know of that stands up to stupid levels of boost on a stock block like the F2T is either a 2JZ or a LSx of some fashion, both of which are not usually challenge priced. 1uz is an interesting aside, as is the v6 out of the Sienna (I forget the nonclementure) but those are both entirely different cans of worms. Otherwise yeah, you're looking at a 4g63T- which are getting expensive due to so many being blown up, or like Ben said, 3sgte which are hella spendy. Unless you're Ben cause he's magical with parts.

Yeah, the S2000 is where all of my serious parts money goes these days. I'd be all about a DSM if I could find one locally that fell into a category aside from stupidly expensive or completely destroyed

Z31 Turbos hadn't crossed my mind, but, now that you mention them, I'll have a look. I have the perfect space and I'm more than equipped for a car that is needy. That space and my tools are 7 hours away from me though.

I've seen what you all do to these MX6s. Clearly a car that would survive my current situation.

Buy my car

We do do awful things to them and they do just keep going. My one hasn't run in at least a year and I guarantee I could throw a battery in it right now and it'd crank over and go in no time flat.

Mine's been crunched a time or two and feels fine.

You'll have an email about the MX6 sometime this evening. I have some questions for you and I have to look at the logistics before I can say that I'd be your buyer.

Boom goes the dynamite

Um. Does anyone in the Atlanta area want to go look at that for me? I'll send beer money just to get a fellow board member's eyes on it.

Walbro pump with install kit can be had for less than $100. Just sayin'.

Need eyes on. Much want. I was too slow on Screamin's, at which point I started looking for a Starion just because I've always wanted one. There are none that look worthwhile right now. $700 MX6s always look worthwhile thanks to this place.

In reply to Swank Force One:

you read my mind, that's EXACTLY what I thought upon seeing the ad.

Interior looks kinda gross.

I have a spare pair of seats you can have for $free.99 if you pick that up and find yourself in my area.

I'm really glad that I didn't venture down to Petit this weekend for work...

annnnnnd it's gone (but I think that someone on here knew that already!)

The universe is conspiring against my desire to own an MX6.
