[bige321786]

Here ya go..... 100 grand for your wallet
here's the catch.....it can only go towards automobiles
what would you do?
buy one car? two? three? which? buy one car and mod it? (which mods)
just have fun with it

[Egg Nog]

It must all go towards cars? Okay... ;)

1. Buy a Lotus Elise, and Insure it.
2. Modify - Light pressure turbocharger, hi-flow intake/exhaust, brakes, tires, etc.
3. Set aside the rest for gas, future insurance, and maintenance...
4. Possibly, a very glossy high-quality paint job.

EDIT: Of course, having second thoughts, I might decide to purchase and set-up an Ultima GTR or a Noble M12...

[SPN:DOC]

Buy an BMW ///M3 (not SMG) black with red leather.
Mods:
19" BBS wheels, drop it a little 2" with Bilstein coil-over suspension kit, Install a new exhaust system with four, two on each sides 2" tips, install an ECU performance chip, Install a cold air induction kit with air filter K&N, some internal work and that it for power, install a Ac Schnitzel front lip, Some good Bose sub's and speakers...

How much dose that add up to. :D :D

[Burrito]

not quite enough for the car I'd like.... given you mean get any car you want I'd get a Spyker C8.... if it's really 100k... I'd have to think about it... definatly get 1 great car instead of 3 normals though.... woud prolly get an eclipse and do it up like you can see in tfatf and 2f2f

[NoOne]

I'd buy that twin turbo Ferrari Testarossa http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1675&highlight=960hp+testarossa , get the body into prime condition and then buy a Fiat Multipla , I figure driving the Multipla afterwards would be the only thing that could get that ridiculous, crazed smile off my face. :D

Use it to tow the Ferrari to the track.
That would be worth seeing, everyone taking the piss until they see what's on the trailer.
NOPE, wouldnt' work, it didn't matter WHAT it was towing it's still an ugly car and not even who was driving it would make a difference. It IS ugly !!!!
:rolleyes:

[more-boost1555]

I think I'd either buy the nicest R34 V-Spec II Skyline I could find, in black or paint it black, then use the rest for mods. Or buy an 03' Cobra Mustang and make it as mean as I could.

It would just depend on whether or not I could fit all the costs of buying the Skyline into my budget. If not the Mustang would be my back up plan.

[Niko_Fx]

I would get a Skyline and put EVERYTHING in it

[Egg Nog]

I would get a Skyline and put EVERYTHING in it

Good luck with that :rolleyes:

[sandwich]

i think i'd buy some nachos.

ok, a lot of nachos.


seriously...i think i'd get my car up and running. I'd probably design my own car...custom chassis, suspension out of a subaru or something...midengined 20b, probably an audi tranny. I'd stick with my own body or maybe an avenger/valkyrie.....goddamn, that would be amazing.

If not that, maybe an STI and a gt40 replica...31+65...that's about 100k.

[Doza]

Stretch Escalade on 25's :D BLINGITY.

[Turbo_Fumes]

I would get a Skyline and put EVERYTHING in it


I Agree with you, ain't nothing better than a Skyline, except for a
3000GT VR-4
:D

[Spastik_Roach]

Buy a Lada and get Lotus to do it up like they did on Topgear! Man that Lada was cool....

thats a toughy , ii would probably get a white sti and a black evo, then with about 40 grand left i would have to pick up the cleanest supra TT i can find and use the rest of the cash to spoil it,

[kiwitt]

4 x 2002 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 Type S - Tiptronic.

1) 1 with minor mods, Wheels, induction, etc.
2) 1 with major mods, developing 400 hp

and 2 spares in storage for longevity.

I should then at least get 20 years out of my dream car(s)

[rb30]

i read u can make an rsr widebody turbo on in "porsche 911 world magazine" for around 30k so ill take one of them and build a shed to house it in at the bottom of my road 10k then get a 99-00 model range rover and fit it with 24's so i can get home maybe chuck an ford 5.4 litre dohc block in the rr.
if i could soup up one individual car it would either be a nissan skyline gt-r v-spec n1 or a nissan pulsar gti-r. imagine spending 84 thou on mods for the little gti-r it would absolutely hammer :D

Tiptronic? Like without a manual transmission? How could you?

[kiwitt]

Tiptronic - only a few 10ths of second difference to the manual.
Easy for driving around town and in traffic jams
Remember it was designed by "Porsche", so it really fast and clever.

Remember, with the Tiptronic you can drive it as a manual, which I do from time to time, just to show a few Boy-Racers (including earlier EVO's and WRX's) to respect the VR-4.

[crisis]

I would buy a Civic, dump it, bang on 25" rims, 10" exhaust tip and put on those lids over the headlights. Then for the serious modifications I would apply GReddy, Nismo, TRD, Rallyart, HKS, stickers. Change all the badges to gold. Blue, no red anodised valve caps. Paint the bonnet black, cause a cool one in Gran Turismo 2 had that. Run dual fluro tube lights along the bottom sills. Mount a 9" tacho on the A pillar. Put in checker plate seating. Squeeze in eight 15" cheap no name subs. Six cheap no name amps, push the loudness button , crank the bass until it was suitably distorted and go cruisin.

[motorsportnerd]

Ok, I'll be sensible here. A Subaru Legacy GT or Falcon GT (can't decide) plus a second Subaru MY2000 WRX would be tempting and should be less than A$100,000.

Then again...

[ace]

I'd bye an XU1 torana a GTS monaro a GT falcon and an E38 or E49 charger with $100 000 I should get them all if I shop around I would get the GT HO phase 3 but that would be $100 000 on it's own and I prefer to get all 4 PS: there all collectable in OZ

A fellow lover of musclecars! The Hemi 6 Barrel is the Most bad@$$ed Australian car ever! As for me and my North American Tastes, I would get a 1971 Hemicuda convertible clone (originals cost upwards of half a mil), probly with a 528 ci Hemi, and just for sh!ts and giggles, have a blower poking out of the hood. I'd then save the other 50 grand for gas money! (J/K, I'd buy a 2004 Dodge SRT-4 for my dailer driver and save the elephant for the weekend)

[Pliz]

Get A Skyline Gt-r And Soup It Up Big Time...

You've got to be kidding; would you do anything to actually affect the car's performance, for the better?

(The stickers add 10 Horsepower, I hear)

[PsychoChimp22]

Porsche 911 GT3 - Red

(I would spend the extra $1,000 on a 1,000 NOS sticker to cover my car with, so I can improve my 1/4 mile time :D )

[1000bhp1000nm]

heh heh heh, no matter what you all do, i'll rule ya all with my 206 gti 960!!
1st,i'll get the 206 gti, then i'll dump everything but the chassis and the body, then i'll buy the CCR,rip out the engine, throw away the supercharger and fit twin-turbos on to it, and then i'll....JAM EVERYTHING BEHIND THE PUG..MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA..
(this is a fantasy thread...right?a man can dream...right?..:D)

:D :D :D ...projected 1/4 mile time: 8 seconds... :D :D :D

[Spastik_Roach]

In this world, a mini costs nothing, a Twin Turbo Cadillac Sixteen Engine costs 50,000, and a Twin Turbo Bugatti Veyron engine costs 50,000. Then I jam the Cadillac engine in the front, and the Bugatti engine in the back. Then I convert it to RWD! Beautiful.

[KnifeEdge_2K1]

BMW M3, Lancer Evolution VI TME, Evolution VIII MR, 04 WRX STi, Vauxhaul VX220 Turbo, MR2 (one from 90s not the new spyder), Suzuki Cappucino (cutest lil car in the world), Peugeot 206 (sigh, too bad 100 grand aint enuff to mod it to WRC version :'( ...)

Any combination of these which add up to less than 100,000, money left over will be dedicated to insurance, gas, tuning, maintenance, or anything of the sort.

[GT500]

an '04 STi, must be blue. If I have enough left over, maybe a GT500.....meh....for 60k? I doubt that. A GT500 on eBay started at $5500 i think it was, and within 63 beids was at $91,000. :)

do you really think theres anything left to take out of the ECU in an M3 that an aftermarket company will be able to extract?

[Batmobile_Turbo]

i'd buy a new Beetle and put a Porsche engine in the back and covert it to rear wheel drive. OR i'd take an old bus and put a porsche engine in OR a GTi and do the same. then i'd put new wheels on, new suspension, new brakes etc...

[KnifeEdge_2K1]

The good thing about a custom ECU is the fact you can customize your own settings and tune it to mazimize the engine's life and output to the way you drive, conditions you drive in, and where you drive.

Well atleast I think it does :S

[fpv_gtho]

well thats provided the engine when stock was still running rather inefficiently. i for one have never seen an engine run stock or with an aftermarket ECU or upgrade and still match the power/litre figure of the M3

[Egg Nog]

Honda S2000? And if you're not talking about Naturally Aspirated cars, there's loads of others :)

[fpv_gtho]

well i guess i stand corrected there then, but still the S2000 has a 9000rpm rev limit to work with, and dont even bother mentioning rotaries

[eyebrows]

i would buy a rs3100 in stock trim then add a dohc (racing cams) then a racing EFI (fully adjustable at all points) 255/35 20" front back, the colour would be white with blacked out bonet with black GT stripes with a cream interior and hopefully u'll see something like what i have described cruzin the streets of sydney maybe in 10-20yrs hahahaha :D

1) It is already RWD... no need for the conversion :)
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were talking about the Sixteen, not the mini :)

2) The Veyron Engine already has four turbochargers. Are you thinking about a sextuple-turbo unit? I think a boost increase would probably yield a similar result :)


Anyway, I won't meddle in your fun any longer ;) :D

I Completely agree with you. Great choice.

[junaman]

I would get two Cadillac sixteen engines.
And get a Smart coupe.
Then shove the engine's into the Smart and there we have it.

are you sure? I'm pretty sure the mini has always been FWD.

BTW somebody has offered me an original owner 914 for my kelmark....

I honestly don't think that would fit at all. :)

[junaman]

sure it will!
Cram it all in!
Of course half of will hang out the back.

[Spastik_Roach]

Correction: All of it will hang out the back :P

[Spastik_Roach]

Yea I just realised it had 4 turbos after I osted, but I could not be bothered.

Why stop with 4? I call it the Mini Turbo 12, and it needs the gearbox of a super tanker just to manage the power, not to mention a body made out of solid diamond. I'm saying it will make somewhere around 3000hp

[junaman]

Buy a Suzuki Jimny.
Spend the rest inventing an artificial intelligence and then fit it into the Jimmy.
Program it to talk to you in third person.
Eg. Jimmy hungry now or Jimny drive now

[HBloverb18]

Toyota Supra. Read a magazine article where the guy put 40 thousand into the engine and its got 906 rwhp! ALso trd widebody kit and some HRE custom rims with a chrome lip so big i wont need another mirror in my life. With the other 40 thousand prolly an evoulution VIII with an exhaust and new stereo system for everyday driving :D

[ezekielrage123]

I would get a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 in Black with a sick sound system, hell of alot of preformance tuning, nice bodykit, and throw on some konig rims.
