The 10,000$ question.

[ODS]

So I have built and had lots of cars, mainly nissans, but I'm not sure that's the route I wanna go. So I'm asking you if you had 10k what would you do? Maybe it will help me gain some clarity. Thanks for your input.

[Rb26kouki]

Depends what you want?
Looks
Power
Weekend car
Daily
Drift ?

[mxexux]

VOLVO 240 + E-ROD!!!!

Do it

[The240Professor]

s13 coupe or s14 zenki with a 351 windsor

[Rafa-Z]

Maybe cars are not for you because you've had a lot of cars and yet you don't know what you want. Now again you have money and you need other people's opinion on what to do with it. I can tell you one thing, I don't need anybodies help to know exactly what I want with my car or what car to get next maybe just tips to get the results I desire from someone with more experience.

I don't want to be an ass but maybe you should take your 10k and take a trip around the world and find that clarity. Also why would you want opinions of a nissan based forum if you dont want a nissan? Doesn't make sense to me but good luck.

[ODS]

Well I have a 05 tl daily, and what I was implying is it doesn't have to be a Nissan. And the question was what would you do with it, not what it should do with it.

i wish 10k was all it cost to build my schassis..:-/

[DJ-of-E]

Get a 1985 Toyota Celica GT-S. Rebuild the engine (simple SOHC, cheap) and supercharge it to 200HP. Replace rear suspension with 1984 Supra's.

And Rally Cross the car competitively. =P

I concur. One of my friends took $10k with him and stayed in Japan for 90 days. Attended both Comiket and Tokyo Auto Salon, made "nice" friends with Japanese girls, sight seeing, etc.

I'm planning on a 1 month backpacking trip in Europe myself. The experience will either make you a better person or re-think your priorities in life.

this is what im thinking


this thread is stupid. 10k wont buy you anything good. If 10k will buy you what you want you either have some low standards for builds or just dont care to do it right.

[HyperTek]

10k is clearly capable of building a car with a v8 and godspeed and drifting it.

With that said, id put that as down payment on a FRS.

[Fable]

id try and get a bugatti veyron kit car.. but no really id build a s13 hatch

[FRpilot]

if i had 10K cash in hand and looking for an s13, i would get this:

Definitely think traveling is worth it. Just got back from a 1 month backpacking trip around western europe...all in all I spent about $2,700 and I know I could've gotten away with spending less

Back on topic, I personally would get another nb mx5, the suspension trim, and turbo it

I've mulled around the travel idea and I'm not ruling it out. And thank to everyone for your actual comments.

buy a non vtec honda and vtec it with NOS!! that should be good right?

[dazed]

A cold air intake, t3 turbo and a stand-alone engine management system wouldn't be a bad way to spend 10 grand.

I wouldn't build anything, but I'd start with something like this.

buy 2-3 of the cleanest, stock, unmolested S-chassis you can find and store them for 5 years. by then, the stupid fanboys will have destroyed almost all of the cleaner S-chassis making yours very valuable.

or start a nice 66 mustang build. my buddy just built a 65 falcon body ranchero with a nice little 302 in it making about 450hp and he must have spent maybe $5000 including chassis. granted the motor and trans set cost him about $500 but, if you want to build an awesome small block for under $1700 like he did, thats the way to go. you will learn sooooooo much more.

[jamescarter]

Invest the money properly now and thank me in the future! ;)

[Matej]

Buy my stamp collection.

down payment on Tesla Roadster. Be green! love the environment and go stupid fast at the same time

import a r30 or r31 and start to swap a rb26 in

Id do a SR swapped Datsun 510. SMOG exempt in Cali, good building platform for the engine, great looking car, light... not a bad idea for me at least

Not really.

It's stupid easy to make power and there is a limitless supply of suspension parts.

Full after market subframes, double wishbone conversions ect.

I think S-chasis owners will be shocked when they see what clean chassis go for or the amount of fabrication needed to bring rust buckets back from the grave. Foxs go for $3-6k for a clean example anymore.

[DS562]

^ absolutely not! there are long lists of interchangeable parts from manufacturer to manufacturer that can turn a 2400lb mustang into a road hugging corner carver. just like 240s, you can modify american muscle suspension geometry fairly easily.

[ODS]

I stand corrected, lol. I like the 510 idea but clean 2 doors are hard to find

Save it for a house.

[OrangeVirus1]

houses are over-rated.. I own one and it looked beautiful when I first moved in.. now shit is falling apart and degrading and I've barely lived here 2 years.. but having a garage is nice.

I would like a house but I don't wanna live in this state forever

How long does it take you to make 10k?

[smoked240]

Maybe start fixing your house? Just a thought.

Me? I've saved this over the last year. I could have saved more but I like the finer things lol

They are changing their name to Blackberry (BBRY). The BB10 is just an emulation of Apple and Android devices. Not to mention this is their last hope.

Personally I would stay away. They went from like $100pr share to like $15. lol.

In 2000 they were dope.

You forget, this is Zilvia where the term "fabrication" means "drilling a hole" in something.

But yeah, those old chassis (240z and 280z for example) are great. so much darn room to modify it to death.

they went from like $45 to $7 when they had all the network problems,

the price will double up until the release date. then it will drop significantly again, I would sell the day before release of the bb10

[Purestock240]

If I was spending 10k on another car it would be something from the 70s, toyota or nissan,

72 240z
vg35 swap
modern suspesnion
some oldschool work wheels
clean OEM looking interior and a modest cage
fun beach cruiser and back road destroyer while being reliable enough to drive to work on nice days

Fuck you, im almost done doing that, dont give him any ideas. Hahahahah. On a serious note, why cant people make up their mind about what they want? Seems like the start of the thread was a cry for attention.

But also, I'd buy a y34 and some supermade aero.

Well, does it have to be car related? Yesterday some customer asked me who I thought was gonna win the superbowl, I said I liked the ravens. He said alright I'm gonna go put money on 49ers. Dude must be mad as fuck today.

You gotta tell us more about yourself, everyone is gonna just tell you what they like.

I'm gonna say go build a miata with a 13b or 20b and rape people on the track. Literally just pull up in front of someone, get out of the car and do it like he dropped the soap.

Seriously though, the miata would be fun whether you are drifting, drag racing, autocross, or legit track racing. Better read up on rotaries first. Try not to make any impulse buys though.

Exactly. I'm always looking for a good deal, as far as impulse buys are concerned.
