    Default With $10k what would you build?

    You name it: body, engine, suspension,wheels, etc. -- older or newer anything goes... what would you buy/build for a play car?

    If i was gonna build an FC the engine alone would be at least $7,000 -- oh wait, that leaves $3k left over...that should be enough to buy like 6 bodies, haha

    im not a big ford fan, but the best bang for the buck would be a fox body with a built engine. you can get a body for around $2500, and have the rest to spend on engine/tranny/suspension.

    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.

    Hmm... I would probably get a Mk3 Jetta with a VR6 with these mods:
    -Techtonics short shift linkage
    -Techtonics Cat-Back exhaust w/ borla muffler
    -Supercharger of some sort
    -Patec Holeshot Coilovers
    -Euro bumpers
    -Euro VR6 lip, OEM side skirts
    -Decent stereo setup
    -Polished intake manifold
    -decent header of some sort
    -Paint it white


    Or a Honda of some sort.

    I'd either buy an FC and build it up for reliable power, or take my Mazda and slap on some ITBs, work over the engine a bit, and custom engine management.

    i'd get like a wrecked ferrari F430 or F360 shell or something and put a stock D series in in the front and gut out the back and make it into a trunk, then fix all of the immense crazy body/ frame damage with JB weld, bondo and aviation scissors. Get a bling bling paint job after that and sell it on ebay ftw.

    40MPG ferrari FTW
