So someone gives you £20k to spend on a car, what would you do? E.g. Would you spend it on your car? Would you buy something totally different? Would you buy a \'better shell?\' write what you\'d do and why?
No one has given me £20k unfortunately, this is just for fun. (I\'m taking donations though if anyone has £20k spare?)
I would probably bank the money as I have basically all the parts for my FC now lol might spend it on a track toy though :)
Refresh current RX8 shell.
New ported motor with some tasty parts.
Adaptronic Management system
Several sets of Semi-slicks.
Greddy Sump
RB Manifold
That\'ll do for now!
Id import a 1967/68 mustang fastback then drop in a 460ci v8 and nitrous it. I would then sheild myself from the moist thongs being thrown at me!!:Ladys-man:Ladys-man:Ladys-man:Ladys-man:Ladys-man
FD obviously. 13B PP GT42 Turbo. Oh and some big nappies!!
I would steal another £20,000 and pay for a dodge charger. Same year as the one F&F 1
I\'ve got a thing for these...

My dad has a 289 1967 red coupe. Want to see it?
If it had to be spent on car stuff i\'d probably split it 50/50.
£10k on the fd to get it resprayed, new wheels and some engine stuff to get my strip times down.
The other £10k i\'d spend on a nice new runabout thats fun to drive.
Maybe pay off a few bills too
Adam
i\'d do this..

though £20k wont be enough to cover it :(
i\'d buy a minty fc, rebuilt engine by re-a and prob r magic wide body kit.
dont think would have much left over from that lol
if did then gt35r and supporting mods.
I\'d sell mine and possibly redo it with what I\'ve learnt and then use new parts and not try to bodge it with second and parts again!
Alternatively buy a newer sports car and save a bit for the running costs and actually drive it more and not mod it (much).
funny you posted this me and my g/frien were having this conversation if we won the lottery, she said she would buy herself a porsche turbo :xconfused, my thoughts were altogether more focused, my fd with a quad rotor turbod monster in it and get it sprayed some sort of cool flicked paint and all the performance goodies needed to keep it in a straight line in accelaration :mmmm
Finish off my 8 project
Greddy turbo kit with Mazda maniac upgrade
Tein Monoflex with EDFC
Racing Beat anti roll bars
Feed 4.777 final drive
RE-Amemiya Battery Relocation kit
R3 Recaro seats retrimmed to match red and black interior
Takata harnesses
Volk Racing GTS wheels
RE-Amemiya Super-G rear bumper
Hmm sure there is more but that would do for the first week.
Total nut and bolt rebuild to my specifications, have it looking as thoug it just came out the factory (but with up to date tech), street port the engine, flared arches, rust proofing everywhere... so on so forth.
May cost more than 20k though
You could put the monaro engine in a fd !!
I do a bit of work on these if you ever need anything doing or need info , monkfish are good as well ,

For me the the \'VXR Monaro package\' is damn cool as it is, it looks awesome i\'d just keep it as it is. Perhaps supercharge it once the novelty wears off.
Thing is i\'ve said the monaro as my £20k option, the truth is a go through phases and change my mind daily but i\'ve always loved the monaro. Shame i\'ll not be able to afford one for AGES yet.
Nearly bought a Monaro instead of the RX8. Don\'t regret my decision but that would be a nice two car garage. Low mileage 6.0 VXRs are trading at about £12k so you could get one and fiddle with a rotary too or supercharge the Monaro for a nice 500 bhp or so!
I\'d love one, but i couldn\'t afford one right now. I need to sort myself out when i get back the UK as well, got a few debts to sort out. Then ideally need get my own place etc, life is such you know. Honestly though, i\'d rather have a VXR monaro than an RX-8 :p
That V8 engine is nice, but the way it corners was nothing compared to the 8!
New plan, I think a H1V8 (v8 made from 2 hayabusa engines) engine might be an idea.
Revs upto 10k rpm n can even bolt 2 turbos onto it for mrga power lol
Quote from: Will66;800952That V8 engine is nice, but the way it corners was nothing compared to the 8!
Well my opinion is when you buy a monaro you already know what it\'s for, it\'s not a track car it\'s to \'muscle car\' to be nimble.
Because sideways.
id spend 200 quid on a burgandy w plate vectra and the rest on cigars,strippers and jagerbombs on a big one in london.

Arent they like $60k? Thats what they use in the Atom V8 right?
Simple for me, get a short block triple made and made properly, dowelled etc and have a 9 - 10k + revvy rotary with a nice single, just the perfect combination in my eyes! Oh yeah and put it in a Fd, no nasty wide arch kitted thing either!
