    Start with one: 2004 Volkswagen R32.


    Add 1 HPA twin turbo setup


    Stir in 1 H&R coilover setup with matching sway and strut bars


    Mix with 4 BBS LM's in 19x9.


    Simmer with StopTech BBK


    And a carbon fiber boser hood.


    Serve with a side of Alpine audio.




    Car: $25,000
    HPA TT: $30,000 installed
    H&R suspension: $2,500
    BBS LM's with tires: $5,000
    StopTech BBK: $4,000
    CF hood, painted: $1,200
    Alpine ICE: $3,000

    So that's still under $75,000. I could either buy two of them, or I could spend the rest on hookers and blow.

    something along the lines of this http://www.full-race.com/r14/ but in my S13, and replace the RB26DETT with a ls7 + custom twin turbo setup(of course) , stronger drivetrain too, add some coilover setup and a dash like the 1 on the pic.

    that should be along or below the $150k mark.

    One LJ Torana coupe.

    Put in GTR XU-1 interior, but with Motec digital dash, and some nice leather RS4-spec Sparcos, cage and no back seat.

    Install some form of IRS, and upgrade front suspension.

    Tub rear if neccessary.

    Install supercharged RST V8 + sequential box.

    Fit 16" Simmons (Polished Silver rim with grey/black spokes and gold detailing) with P Zero Corsas

    Fit the biggest brakes possible.

    Paint red with a black bonnet.

    Drive. And Drive. And Drive.

    And Drive. And Drive. And Drive. And Drive. And Drive. And Drive.

    If the RST is not feasible/too pricey, replace with MRT EJ25T.

    I'd get an NSX and bring it to Type R spec. I don't know how much that'll cost though. I bet old NSX's don't really cost that much. Obviously it'd be great if it's an 02 Type R, but the 92 will do just fine.

    Either or. That's what any reasonable man would do.

    I'm calling it 80,000, as prcies range from 75-85.
    -I don't know what I'd do, so I am off to research

    I assume you'd like it to be legal in my country of residence(ie USA)?

    Doesn't matter, don't worry about legalities, just make sure that it's "streetable". Aka you should probably be able to clear a speed bump, etc.

    I can't do that in the Golf... Does that mean it's a track car? Yay!
