Need Some Opinions about a project car

[JoeVDub]

Are you trying to stay Euro? I'm looking into getting a s2k and boosting the shit outta it. The motor is very impressive. Would you ever consider that?

Other great projects that would be semi cheap:
E30 - turbo'd
GC8 coupe with a STI swap
VW caddy pickup - it'd be slow though, but fresh
mk3 supra - 1jz swap, cheap and reliable and can push a lot out of it
FD Rx7

Boosted Miata.

Any car with a great chassis and a 2JZ-GTE swap, that would be my dream.

Or a MK1/MK2 Golf with a VR6 swap

I would love another b5, But Somthing Pre smog,
like a 510 with a sr-20det or rb-25 swap, gutted with welded diff :drool:

I have been looking for a mk1 gti for a project car. My uncle has one which I have been trying to buy off him for years now. I have also been looking at older porsches. The main thing I lack right now is space. If I did the gti it would be more of a nostalgic thing and the Porsche may just break the bank over time..

I've thought about a project for a while, but I just don't have the time or space to have it.

+1 on the e30/mk2.

e30 is cheap as hell to work on, lots of parts too.

I'm liking the ideas. As for sticking with Euro, I'm not entirely sure. A Honda would be great, but there's nothing really great except an NSX or S2000 would would be considerable. But I feel like I want something raw and totally emotional. Something that would catch the eye.

I thought about a MK1 or MK2 with a TSI engine and custom AWD conversion. Its been done and it certainly would stretch my engineering skills.

And E30 wouldnt be bad......hmmm.....

Boosted Miata.

i'd highly consider this. you can find a clean miata for under $2500. they're a blast to drive and even with 200whp it will rip without sacrificing drivability.

I'm getting a GolF R itch...........It would not make any financial sense plus my car payment would damn near triple....but OMFG

I've had the itch for some time now - finally pulled the trigger last week

Luck bastard. What plans do you have for it?

Can't really mod an NSX for cheap and it would be a money pit. If you want to wrench on something I'd go as cheap as possible.

What about a civic hatch?

I was thinking about doing it... a base car is only 2200-2300lbs or so. You can convert the rear brakes to discs using Integra parts...

then feel free to drop in whatever engine/turbo you want.

Nothing near TEFF's awesomeness. A good set of racing tires, upgraded brakes and a stage I flash

But I don't want to jack the op's thread - PM me if you have any other questions
