**speedminded** · 08-20-2007, 08:25 PM

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

build my car .... or buy like 10 more lol

**allmotoronly** · 08-20-2007, 11:44 PM

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.

yes but it would be a ridiculous amount of work and labor alone would exceed $10,000 if you didn't do it all yourself. I'd get a stolen recovery NSX before thinking about attempting that...

**Kyle** · 08-20-2007, 11:48 PM

1990 GTI, Vr6 turbo, fk coils, bbs or borbet wheels.

**tippatone** · 08-21-2007, 12:36 AM

I would get a EG hatch shell for the low low and throw a K20 get some pistons,cams and a intake/exhaust and spend some quality time at the strip club with the change

**On_Her_Face** · 08-21-2007, 12:42 AM

**bigdare23** · 08-21-2007, 01:01 AM

**MachNU** · 08-21-2007, 07:12 AM

sale my car and use the 10k plus my car to either buy or make down payment on a 03 cobra!

**Jecht** · 08-21-2007, 08:01 AM

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.
