If I had $10k to spend on any car I would get 97+ prelude (I saw one with 140k miles and no engine/tranny for $3200 on ebay a few weeks ago) and buy a F22C ($4000 on ebay), S2000 rear end, and do a RWD conversion on a prelude. :ninja:

i recently discovered how cheap the swaps are on the 240s and was amazed. Swap + Upgraded Turbo on a 240 would cost me the same as a K20 or Custom Turbo build on my car..... and you would get almost 3 times the HP from the 240 lol

Upgraded turbo(s), fuel injectors, etc...500+ whp

Would that be in addition to the $10.5k? Even still, I'd much rather do a GenIII/IV SBC and have 500+whp before the turbos.

[03RCode]

Foxbody + 408W + Spray, then drop the rest in suspension.

Junkyard 6.0s are like $1200. L92 heads are $1000. A cam would be like $500. Get some 500+hp for less than $3000.

If I didn't need a ridiculous amount of torque for my car's fat ass, this would be they way I'd go actually.

[Z0_o6]

it would get me almost all the way to my built motor. not quite though.

[speedminded]

it would get me almost all the way to my built motor. not quite though.Putting what kind of numbers out?

[Revmaynard]

I would probably build a 440 Dart/Duster, a turbo 4.3 Blazer with a t56, or just use the money to get a 426 crate engine for my Cuda. LOL

[xdavidscenex]

a d14 with 2500 shot of nos!

[Revmaynard]

What is a d14 out of?

LOL!
I would street port the 8, get some Ianetti ceramic apex seals, greddy turbo kit w/ mazdamaniac upgrade, cobb access port, that should put me at close to 400whp (for real).

[xdavidscenex]

What is a d14 out of?
lol 6th generation civic in EDM i guess. its d14z1...i was jk tho.:taun:

[dorin48]

Late gen corvair 65-69

Ej25 or 13bt or the 2.7 from the 73 carrera to replace the chevy 2.7.

Disc brake conversion and dual master cylinders

Spoiler from the Yenko Stinger.

Cage

Panasports or old ARE Meshies

and rent out Atlanta Motor Speed Way for a while with some friends.

:boobies:

[Got Milk?]

I would built/buy sti tranny/strong tranny for my wrx, and probably swap in sti 2.5.

[Paree4g63]

with $10k; i'd pay off most of my debt and re-build my credit! then i'll start paying absolutely everything from needs to wants from there on then with upfront cashhhhhhhh:goodjob:

[Revmaynard]

So what would you build?

[FasTech]

If I had to use every bit of the 10k towards a car, I'd build a K-series EK. If I had 10k to do as I choose, I would put 5k in my Mustang and put the other 5k towards college.

[Bridged]

My current car with a buschur built 6bolt stroker + fp red :goodjob:

I would be happy with that.

[speedminded]

So what would you build?
Project 1.0
BMW e30 │ 2.8L M52 │ GT30R

Phase I
Through continuous trading I have about $1,200 invested in my one owner chassis and '96 engine including the OBD1 conversion. Turbo setup is going to run $4k with stand-alone engine management. Clutch & flywheel is $1k+. Race quality coil-overs $1-1,500 used. Various suspension components: sway bars, strut bars, etc. $500. So around $8k and I still have a completely stock looking e30, lol! Granted it's a reliable 380-420whp (10-18psi) and weighs 2,400 lbs with insane handling...equaling the power to weight ratio of a Ferrari F40.

Phase II
The cosmetics will run it well over the $10k though! My 14 yr. old wheels were over $1k but I can't mount them until I do a 5-lug conversion, $500-1k, plus they require wider fenders front and rear! Intending to keep the cost of the wider OEM e30 M3 bodywork around $2k-2,500...fenders, quarters, bumpers, rear window trim, & wing. Fully wrapping the interior in black synthetic suede (I don't want to think about what that will cost even though I'm doing most myself). Canadian Brides wrapped in synthetic suede, or at least the bright white Bride logo dyed black, $800-1k+. Rollcage < $1k. Custom Porsche Brembo caliper brake kit with 13.1" rotors for about 1/4 the cost of a comparable Brembo kit. Paint will require the car to be completely assembled in perfect working order then fully disassembled down to the chassis, sprayed, then reassembly. I don't want to think about that cost either but I can't wait for that day to assemble a basically brand new car!

Basically for what a well used AP2 S2000 costs I have a cheaply insured, antique tagged & emissions free, 400+whp ground up built beast with a timeless style. Worth it? We'll see :doh:



Project 2.0
Black BMW e34 │ Black 18" ACS Type II/III's │ M52 │ GT35R

Ideally I'd take the M52 turbo from the Project 1.0 and replace it with an S54 e46 M3 or Euro Spec S52 engine and 6 speed manual. The GT30R would then be upgraded with a GT35R giving the e34 around 500whp. The M52 with head gaskets and studs is reliable up to 25psi so 18-22psi should be more than sufficient. Coil-overs, sway bars, and you have a solid comfortable sedan that's rather quick.



Project 3.0
Z32 300zx slick-top chassis │ LS6 conversion w/ T-56 │ JIC 12k/8k coil-overs │ 18" BBS LM replicas.

Much more simple than the first project but will still cost right at $10k doing all the labor myself.

[efman]

clean eg with built and supercharged gsr motor,gsr trans with lsd. some crazy ass suspension to go along with it (maybe full tein), some base coat clear coat and i got the ultimate honda mountain car.

and barber is such a nice place... so after a build my perfect 10k eg me and the friends will go there !

[obear]

I'd save up 6k more for a turbo charger then save up enough to buy a car to put the turbo charger in :)

[andrewkd16]

APS TWIN TURBO MY Z

[03RCode]

Didn't know we could drop the money into our own cars...


That being the case 512/spray + 4 link.

[dakilla4ever]

I'd finally finish all 3 of my ludes.
1st one: Boosted clean azz daily driver/ weekend warrior.
2nd one: Scca Track/ Autocross ready.
3rd one: Complete Honda challenge Track car.

[MSP1660]

10K?

I'd put a 4G63T setup in my colt, convert it to AWD (they made them AWD but mine isn't one of them), slap a nice set of wheels with some sticky tires, turn the boost up to say 15 psi, remove the back two sets of seats (it was considered a "microvan" back in it's day), and then go have some fun with all the ricers around town... lol Dear God that car would be sick.

Then I'd get it on the cover of S3 Magazine!

I don't know what I would do with other 2k I'd have left. Probably take it to Vegas. lol

This isn't a mod your car thread. The title is, "With $10k what would you build?". People just can't read and if I was a mod I'd delete all their posts. :doh:

[silversol]

i would build my bank account!

[matthewAPM]

CRX and run HC.

[VooDooXII]

Hmm...lately I've been really into the e34 BMW 5 series, so I'd try to get a 540i and make it as quick as an M5.

What you mean by this??

and yeah around that for big tracks. Tally is between $1800-$3000 depending on day

[Evil Goat]

stock exterior 4dr 92-95 civic, built turbo b-series with about 400hp

[Z0_o6]

Putting what kind of numbers out?

looking for anything over 600whp on C16.

these fucking subaru's aint cheap lol

i have decided instead of blowing that much on a pre-built motor i'm going to give it a go with what i have. EJ257 with CP pistons, and cosworth cams/valvetrain etc. I already have the full GT35R setup with supporting mods.

[SandM]

Idea 1:
93 SC300 w/ JDM 2J Swap (Auto OEM Trans). USDM ECU. Stock twins with bolt ons. Wheels & Coilovers. Fun DD, until the tranny gives.
Idea 2:
95/96 Subaru Impreza L AWD. Lots of suspension mods. Wheels. EJ25 Swap. Bolt ons. Mountain/Track toy.
Idea 3:
1993 B13 SE-R. SR20D Blue Bird Swap. Shock/Spring combo. Wheels. Extra to play with power. Street toy.

And, the S2000 (my pride and joy) would cost much more than $10g

[The Youngn]

I'd buy the turbo kit from TPC for my car then spend my own money for labor

[matthewAPM]

Let me try this again...

If I had to BUY a car, I would build a HC CRX

If I was putting money into a car, it would be the TT vette. Just a few minor this and the rest would be for tires, entry fees, and a new trailer
