What's a nice way to spend $10,000

[Arcane]

just wanted to hear what you guys would do if you had 10g's to spend...maybe you guys have better ideas than i do...in fact, my idea was just to swap a s15 sr, then wait a while <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>...(i'll be getting ~$40k if i re-enlist)...well, let me know!!! &nbsp;if you would go ka-t, could you post non ka-t ideas too??? &nbsp;thanks

[240sxracer]

what brach of service are you in? how many years are you going to reup for to get $40,000

$10K

Hmmm


Rebuild the KA....with all the tweaks (port&polish, balance, etc). &nbsp;Then turbo it. &nbsp;Then I'd get a nice body kit for it. &nbsp;Lastly, add rims and coilovers.

OR

Just buy a $2k project car, and have unstable hybrids install an RB25 into it..and keep it as your toy for the weekend. &nbsp;Keep it stock looking, but add LSD..and Apexi duals...and let the 6 cylinders roar!

[96SEChick]

Hmmm....$40000--down payment on a R34 from MotoRex &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>

$10000--definitely heavily modifying the 240SX--making it the baddest KA-T that's still street legal. &nbsp;Duy had only spend $9000 in engine mods for his 10 sec KA-T (too bad he sold his car).

[Skiman112]

i would buy a METRO!!!!!


j/k


if i had 10k to spend......

ring ring

"hello, unstable hybrids?"......


i'd do the dew and get an SR then throw it in my bisnatch. &nbsp;then work the internals, .

id basically make my car look as stock as possible, and hide everything that made it not stock... hehe


and then i'd show everyone what a little old 240 like mine can do


"no honda boy, thats not a loud as hell BOV, thats just my electronic BOV noise maker like you and all of your friends have... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> "

it would be a sleeper like none other.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sleeping.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzzz:'>

thats just me though

[junia]

If you're in the service put in for duty overseas in Japan. &nbsp;If you're into s13's get a silvia or whatever you want pretty much stay there for two years. &nbsp;After two years you rate shipping for a vehicle back to the states. &nbsp;That'll mean all you have to do is pay for any conversion. That plus overseas COLA pay and any overseas extension bonus you get and just the experience of going to the source of all the cars that we love, I think is worth it. &nbsp;You can get certain cars for dirt cheap if youknow where to look.

[KiDyNomiTe]

You've all got it wrong you should buy 280Z amd swap in an RB of your choice and mod the hell out of it and have it as a weekend car and then buy a 5speed S13 fastback for dailydriving and turbo it or get an SR with that 40gs

[Bomix]

<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> Put in bank.. with good interest, you'll be better off. &nbsp;

Or why not blow it all on 2 years worth of NoS!..
maybe not. &nbsp;

Bye lots of Chrome Rims, and then
sell them to ricers at a ridiculous price. &nbsp;then again maybe not.

[AceInHole]

$10k...

$3k on the coilovers [Could go with a number of brands and custom spring sets]
$1k on the swaybars [Cusco anyone?]
$500 on STB's
$1500 RXB, RLB, FLB [just estimating so it's easier to calc]
$3000 wheels and tires
last grand on bushings, tension rods, adj upper rear arms, subframe bushings, and retro fit the lower ratio HICAS steering rack in.

then after the handling mods he can spend that 40gs on some power, liek an SR or if your feeling lucky an RB or CA (go drifting).

i know i'll get flamed for saying this... but i'd get a 280z and drop a bigass chevy v8 in it...... &nbsp; (flame shield up)

before you scream at me.. have u all seen that vid of that blown v8 240z? ... god damn,, i'd make a car liek that... i don't like chevy cars.. but i sure do love their big engines... they sound so purdy...

who says inflated?? heheh... if you're gonna be a big spender you might as well go all out.... and get the best of what you want.

Seriously, one bad ass car could be made with:

$6250

$1800 JIC FLT-A2's w/pillowball mounts

$3750

TOTAL

$10000

Of course.... you'll still need to be able to stop...

[ca18guy]

I guess i'll be the reasonable one and say Invest most of it. How did you get 10K ? I thought you only signed for 4 years?

[sspikey]

cars are awesome but imagine investing that money for say 2 years. or the time your away at the army for so when you get out. BAM! tons of cash. maybe by then the EVO will be in the us and you could put a nice downpayment on that.

[HippoSleek]

put it in the bank until you are ready to put money down on a home (sorry, I tend to be a bit too practical).

Goto www.google.com and search for "Darius 240Z" you'll get links to his vids. I only have the one were he beats a sports bike cause of my 56k modem &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

[burgy240]

practicality says invest while your away and spend when your service is done.............but if not 3K on s15 conversion, 5K on s14 blacktop, 500 on a N1 dual, 600 on STB and Sway bars, &nbsp;and I'm sure the rest would get eaten up with stupid things like, down pipes, blow off valves, ECU upgrades, etc take your pick at anyone of these mysterious expences!!

[boosteds14]

if i had 10k
i would pay off my credit cards, because that is close to what i spent on the car already. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

come to think up it, duy must have spent alot of money-more than me, to make his car run 10's

Air Force, reenlist for 6 years in our career field and we get 40K atleast, probably be more by the time i get to reenlist. Not doing it though.

[hideyoshi]

if i had 10k to waste i would spend it traveling to southeast asia or south america and come back when i have no more money

or i would just buy a Suzuki GSX-R 750

10k huh?...wouldn't even think twice before yanking the KA out, rebuilding it for high boost, slap it back in, put a huge snail on it it......ahhhhh...that would be good.....*sigh*

well id get a turbo kit (2500 hook ups) and then forged internals fuel pump injectors, 420cc, &nbsp;boost controller, ecu, and exhaust and intake. &nbsp;good for about 350hp id say on 22psi

[junia]

Like I said go to Japan(it'll be free if you get stationed there). &nbsp;Buy a turbo charged car for lets say hmm.....1000 bucks(you can find them). &nbsp;Lets use a silvia for an example you can find a CA turbo silvia for about 1000 bucks or a SR powered one for a bit more and buy some HKS coilovers for about another 1500. &nbsp;and strip it down and tmo it back to the states. &nbsp;Bring the engine, tranny, ecu, harness, suspension, diff, hell the front end if you want. &nbsp;You get to spend time in Japan and if you want tour southeast asia for dirt cheap. &nbsp;If you're in the AF you know about the mac flights right. &nbsp;Take advantage.

hehe...actually 60k for six years but 40 after taxes...hrmmm...oh btw, ca18guy....even though i enlisted for 4 yrs...i have the option of signing for 6 after my first term...and as for the $10k, we get half up front which is probably going to be around $20k, 5 is going to my parents, another 5 to my bank account, and 10k to my girl...(kinda weird how she gets most of the money...almost like a real one!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

It doesn't help your car at all...right away. &nbsp;But just think long-term. &nbsp;Once you have seen a return on everything, then you will have lots o' money to throw into your car! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> &nbsp;I was just joking anyways, but those three things would be good to split $5K between.

Arcane, read your very first post in this topic. &nbsp;You never once asked for advice on your car w/ the money. &nbsp;You simply asked what we would do if we had that money and then you told us what you would do, since you're getting that money.

Chill man. &nbsp;We are using our imaginations and listing what we may do if we were lucky enough to come into that kind of money. &nbsp;You asked for our opinions--if you don't like them then don't ask for them.

If I got $40k in hand, I seriously would put down a hefty down payment on an R33 from MotoRex and save the rest for mods. &nbsp;$10k--I'd turbo my KA and beef it up quite a bit.
