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

If my dsm project ever gets done, my next project car that I would like is a FD Rx7. Ive always wanted one because they look sexy. I'd like to learn about rotary engines since I know nothing of it. What would yours be?

Either and an RB swapped S13 coupe, or if I hit the powerball a TT E46 M3

Project, done, what? Nevar!

I can't think about it too much, or it might happen.

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

There is a FD that needs a motor rebuild or donor and new 5th gear for $4500/obo its a 95, which means 1 of 23.

Retarded good deal for the money

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

I think the project starts this spring, my dad and I are finally going to get rolling on his 1970 Benz 300SEL 6.3L.

Otherwise Ive really wanted to pick up an older 70s project car and throw something newer under the hood.

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

I suppose I could finish my 1961 Mercury Comet one of these days....I'd love to toss a FI 302 into it along with some sort of Auto trans and a 9" rear.

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

I'd love to sell the Talon and make the Caddy my official new project. I have a good list of a few thousand in parts I want to buy for it. Mostly suspension stuff, but a few small power mods to get me to the 500whp mark with a tune from Shane.

Either that or a mint z32.

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

I would like to convert those Regular Lancer Mitsu Into a Mini Evo. Put the AWD Drive train in the rally and swap a 4G63T In it Put the Mini Evo Body Kit and Wing on. Someone probably has dont it before. Its a nice swap i would like to do though. In the future perhaps.

Kinda like this:

Same, love the way fd's looks, maybe a turbo or a procharger just so I never have traction

I always dream up crazy swaps, one I thought would be cool, would be to do an RB in like a 1995 cobra. Do a bunch of weight reduction and do a rb30de bottom end with built internals and a rb25/6 head. Toss a huge turbo on it, and stick it to the mustang guys lol. What they think is a v8 poopstang, is actually a Inline 6 single turbo monster

Well yikes true it might be a retarded thing but idk i use to want a lancer really bad, until i figured out what a lemon they were. Then i discovered the 4G63 Engines and went to town. So I was just putting it out there. No need to be so forceful in telling me how much it sucks. I guess getting my 1G to run 10nz would be a nice project.

I would love to see your face if your v8 swap gets beat by a stock looking rally hehe
