Facebook links don't work. Put them on Photobucket or something.

^ let's do it up kevin I have a spare 2.4 now and a few heads laying around ;)

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Evolution IV or V but I wouldn't mind a TME 6.5 :D

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Ok I posted the 996 that's a reasonable goal some day, but let's push this outside the box...Steve mentioned a cobra kit car, how about something like that, literally build a car from the ground up? I've been swooning over the Ultima GT kit car for about 12 years now....some day, maybe...some day!

I made a thread about it on here about a year ago:

67 Chevy II Nova all pro streeted up in primer. With a Bi Turbo LQ9, T-56 Viper spec.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

That Ultima GTR looks sweet! It's pretty amazing that they can make building a car that straightforward.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

1. I'd like a Factory Five roadster or Cobra kit car, powered with a navigator 5.4 block and cobra heads(I think they bolt up) and a decent turbo or even stock charger. Nothing too crazy, keep it around 500hp in a 2500lb package and totally turn key.

2. 450hp DSM powertrain mounted up on an Ariel Atom. Would be kinda cool.

3. a turbo setup on my 4.0L I6....

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Cars I'd love to own and play with in no particular order...

Chevrolet Corvette C5 Z06, pewter in color, bolt ons, nice sounding exhaust, nice black or gun metal wheels
http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/02-corvette-2.jpg

Nissan 300ZX TT (1990-1996) in pearl white/white/silver, engine work with bigger turbos, make a nice reliable 400WHP+, JDM or aftermarket front bumper, deep wheels, (my honest dream car, this car made me fall in love with performance cars, the body style will stand the test of time)
http://twinturbo.net/ttnetrides/9616/9616header.jpg

MkIV Supra, any color, nice wheels and have fun with the mods
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3313/...81156fda96.jpg

2002-2005 Acura NSX, put some nice wheels on it, maybe stiffen the suspension a bit and call it done
http://www.cargurus.com/images/2008/...pic-49406.jpeg

2002-2004 Ford Mustang Cobra, white/silver/metallic smoke, nothing crazy in the power department but make it handle and stop like a sports car should (probably the most reasonable of the cars I've mentioned)
http://www.rpmmotorsportstulsa.com/i...tangCobra2.jpg

A kit car supercar such as a Factory Five GTM, though I wouldn't entirely be picky as long as it had the power to back up the looks.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

There used to be a guy in blaine with an ultima gtr, but i think i heard he wrecked it, shit was fast.

Going out side, I would like to build something really light dumb easy to kill myself really make me scared to drive it.

TT lambo though.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

As much as I love me some dsm's, I have a soft spot for mustangs....I know, weird right. I was dead set on owning a 2003 cobra for a long time, still would like one.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Having independent rear suspension on a Mustang gets me hot and bothered for some reason.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

There is a gorgeous low mile cobra down here fs.

Oh I was meant to add they sell ariel atom roller kits start at $40k

But i dont know shit about K20s,

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

I don't blame you. I have that same soft spot. The 03-04's were the only years they came with the blower from the factory.

Or I'd like an twin turbo 5.0 Fox body.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Why, yes you can! http://image.automotive.com/f/images...engine_bay.jpg

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

So get rid of it for something else.... :)

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

One of these, toss in a pinch of twin turbo, and go have fun!!

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

No love for the rally lol . . . at least i stayed on earth with the projects.:sewingblue:

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Classic Mini, 4G63T (not sure if I'd use a mildly modded 6-bolt, or just go for a stock EVO 8-9 motor) with modified MiniTec subframes (yes, they now have an AWD subframes to accept CRV components)

All that with the normal bolt on flares and 13's, maybe some 14's.

Ideally, there use to be a composite body/unibody that was available for the classic mini too. Was stronger and lighter than the metal originals.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

I have always thought a 4g63 mini would be super bomb, has anyone done it?

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Since when did Nissan make an NSX? Hahahahahaha!

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Hahaha Mattd is a newb.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

I don't know what you're talking about. ;) I was tired and had Nissan on the brain, stupid 300ZX...

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

I would love to get another Evo 8/9 for a DD.

However, a 180sx with a CA18 comes to mind for a fun project car for me:)

Or anything with an RB25. Another RSX would be cool too, miss that car.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

My next project will be swapping a K24 into a 1988 CRX HF (1800lbs with 280 n/a whp should scoot).

mmmm

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Turbo LS1 FC or SN95. Try to go deep into the 10's for less than 10k total investment. Would be fun.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

That is some nice photo shopping

No love for the classic Rat Rods?

I am looking at buying some classic trucks for my landscaping business. We have a 1955 Chevy 3/4 ton truck that is going to be rebuilt.
It would be eye catching.

This one is really neat. Air bag suspension so it can be lowered and cars can be brought onto it. with some added platform some lawn mowers or landscaping equipment could be added to it.

Farm trucks are plentiful and this would be a cool welding project.

I think I am getting tired of the 4g63 and want to change to something else for a while. The RX-7 with LS-X would be a good project. But if I had the choice right now it seems like the classic car would be the most enjoyable right now.

I have a xs650 (cheap and a dime a dozen) and I am going to try to do something like this.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...g?t=1267030762

We will have to wait and see what happens.

I also have my Scummit. I think that is going to be the last mitsu project for a while. It is going to be one of those budget project under $2000
Here it is in minneapolis shoved on a snow bank! HA my GF thought I couldn't park there because of the now.

Well at least you'll never be disappointed. :spin:

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
 

Better get one quick, they are getting hard to find in good condition. Sure to be a collectors item in a few years.
