With $10k what would you build?

[OneSlow5pt0]

I'd build an FC (or my FC).

Cage, Coilovers, Super angle steering kit, Steering wheel w/quick release, seat + harness, some hot ass 17's, B&N sports body kit of some sort, kaaz lsd, act clutch... Oh and a pistol grip hurst shifter.

And A spare Motor and trans.

Basically exactly what i have planned for my car, not in that particular order, but whats in the works for next year...

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

I think early spring im gonna buy one and swap it + Turbo 4 a daily driver.

[drpepper14]

full b-series build w/ a gt40...and keep my a/c because it's hot as hell outside today

[FAHHQUE700]

sorry kids.... it takes alot more than 10 grand to make a fast car...

[speedminded]

sorry kids.... it takes alot more than 10 grand to make a fast car...

Depends what you mean by fast: 1/4 mile fast or up a mountain quick....and reliably. Plus since when was this thread about a fast car? Specifically said "play car"...

[Kyle]

First, that wasnt the point of the thread. Second, I beg to differ. I've seen people make 10 second cars with $2,000.

DAMNIT ITS CALLED MEGA MILLIONS!

[BABY J]

Powerball and Mega Millions is 2 diff things.

[.blank cd]

alot of people call it powerball where i work at. Power ball, the big game and "whats that big drawing for tonight? whats it called? yeah i need 5 quick picks, cash option". That shit annoys the fuck outta me. dont know why

[speedminded]

Hrmm...240z

$5,975 and throw on some deep offset mesh wheels and race suspension:

-or-

For $3k, then i'd throw an LS2 in it...
http://adcache.collectorcartraderonl...9/89279309.htm


Either way i like this style, but for $27k

HA HA. I live in Indianapolis, where we only have the state (hoosier) lotto and Powerball (multi-state). I do know what you mean though - lol

[mocha latte cupcake]

[iloveboost]

Not sure where I want to go with my car yet, so I'll refer back to the post once I know for sure, heh.

[FAHHQUE700]

I meant for the people saying a wrecked nissan turd box and throwing some crap ass JDM turbo motor and and blah blah blah.... so what? yeah, you have an evo, supra, vette, cobra, whatever, throw 10k to it, yeah... it better be fast... anything less than 600hp is childs play... you guys need to get to work and quit dreaming... maybe one day you'll have a fast car... like i said.... it takes more than 10k to have a car worth a shit....

[Kamikaze]

Mazda Cosmo. 20B, 3 rotor fury.

[speedminded]

It's feasible: under a grand for a rolling shell, $3-4k for an LS1 complete (A new crate is $4k), mount kit, driveshaft, rearend, etc...

Yes but he also said bodywork/paint, suspension and wheels.

[mocha latte cupcake]

flat black paint, ebay cheap suspension (used), and Ebay wheels see i just did it yay! points for me!

[speedminded]

Yes but he also said bodywork/paint, suspension and wheels.

Paint can be $50 or $3k+, depending how much you do yourself. With wheels & suspension, it's all who you know and what you have laying around...

For $10k would it look like I would want it too? Probably not...but i'm sure with a little sweet talking you can get some help from local shops

[Sport1.3]

93 Paseo w/ blown motor - $800
EP82 Starlet front clip 4efte/rear subframe/brakes -$1300
5EFHE short block - $400
BYP Harness -$300
FMIC, Supra Injectors, HKS FCD, misc seals/gaskets/hardware/fluids $2000
GT2872 turbo, external waistegate, custom flange $2000
wheels/tires - $1000
Dyno Tune - $300

Thats $8100 for a 350-400whp Stroked 1.5liter/2300lbs Paseo. No one would see that coming

Lol. No one has claimed that 10k is going to build them an incredible car. It's hypothetical. The thread could have been called what would you build with 2k, 50k, 100k. I dont know why I'm answering you because I can already tell you are opinionated and think that everyone should build a car one way.
