    I would just make a down payment on a G35 and say forget modification. I have learned my lesson in modifying cars, the Eclipse will be the last car I modify. Its fun, but not worth the money in the end.

    With $20k, import a '98-00 Toyota Altezza RS200 Z-edition [comes with the 6 speed transmission & 2 liter BEAMS 3S-GE dual VVT-i engine, 210hp stock)] priced around 1 million yen...i've seen them for $10-14k USD and roll on roll off shipping is $500-800 (a shipping container usually runs $1,200 or so plus dock fees for use of the cranes).

    Mods:
    1) Tein RA or HA Coil-Over Dampeners - $1,500-2k
    2) Modified 3SGTE turbo kit for the 3SGE, 300whp - $3,500-5k
    3) Standalone or FC Commander - $1,200 (probably get an entire kit built for $5k including the computer setup)

    CL-S-T FTW.

    I'd buy a higher-mileage 6speed CL-S with navi. Then I'd do a fully built high compression 3.5l swap with forged internals, and do AllMotor's turbo kit. Then I'd be beating up Z06's.
