You're spending north of 10k for a good GT-R, luckily the GT-R has gotten so expensive it's getting out of reach of dipshits. However, I'm not really sure why anyone would want a GTS-T or GTS4 (if you live in a LHD country, that is)....surely there a LHD options that would be better. They are still great cars but I think the money could be better spent on an RX-7, Z-car, EVO etc.

The C4 Corvette is an even better deal, in fact I can't think of a cheaper way to go faster than a C4. Even the early Cross-Fire injection cars run 6.6 0-60, and the L98 ones run anywhere between 5.3-6.5 seconds. They do have issues though.

Hit an Apex posted:Town Car Bentley Conversion. That is actually pretty impressive. Is there a body kit company our there or are each of those panels hand made? At the end of they day, you kinds have to wonder who spent $25K (which I believe, given the interior and exterior work) to fake a car that can be had on ebay for about that much anyway.

For a second I thought it said '98 and I was going to scream "buy it buy it buy it" because even the engine alone would be worth more than that, but with the '96 and LT1 it might be worth a bit less. That said, 4L60E rebuilds are cheap.

I remember looking into alternatives shortly before I sold my 93. I'm not so sure about it, but I also kind of remember something about some after market optispark that had a lifetime warranty? But even with that I think opting for an alternative would be preferable to being stranded, then having to do the labor swapping out the opti.

The only thing holding me back from this is my girlfriend telling me I need to get at least one 944 out of the garage or else she's pushing it out(and well all the xmas shopping that put a nice dent in my bank account).

The only thing holding me back from this is my girlfriend telling me I need to get at least one 944 out of the garage or else she's pushing it out(and well all the xmas shopping that put a nice dent in my bank account). If the TOB is hosed it's probably chewed up the (aluminum) input shaft as well which means you're gonna want one of these TOB sleeves. Still not rocket science, you just drop in the kit and keep going. My bigger problem would be the lunched up and bondoed rear quarter on one side and the smashed rear bumper clip on the other side. Someone went drifting and found a tree. The drivers' seat fabric also looks weird around the airbag area, it's got a temporary reg, the hood scoop is different (and not from an STI - probably some cheap aftermarket "carbon fibber" piece which may or may not have the proper TMIC splitter integrated into it) and the tail lights are ricey and aren't sealed properly judging from the condensation. I could also be wrong but it looks like in that first engine pic that the stock boost control solenoid has been messed with since it's just dangling in space instead of attached to its stock mount with its stock plastic cover in place. Something huge has hit the intercooler a few times. There's a BOV instead of the stock BPV. All of the fasteners inside the engine bay are more rusty than I've seen on salt belt cars, which is inexplicable in Texas. The trunk release lever handle is broken. Interior fasteners are missing. The aftermarket stereo does not have a faceplate. It also has a front strut brace, which on a GD is a clear indicator that the owner is mentally retarded. The brace is partially dismantled right now because I'm guessing they wanted to swap the intercooler back to "stock" from whatever it was before. You might also want to budget to replace the bottom end on that EJ205 since I bet Drifty McPaydayLoan doesn't know how to check their oil before throwing it into corners. That WRX has the potential to become a lot more expensive than $2600 approximately five seconds after you buy it. This is "plastidipped DSM" levels of run away, but it does have the optional armrest extender which I really liked in my WRX.

I have owned one of these, however mine was a single turbo, not a twin. I had just started working on my own cars, and when I went to change the tranny fluid I filled it with gear oil instead of ATF  Was a great car though, and I would probably pay close to 11k for that one.

drukqs posted:Nice price or crack pipe? Hopefully they did a coilpack conversion because all the V2 STIs running around here have had ignition problems and been converted by now. The turbo might be different too considering I don't see the stock "smokestack" heatsink from the early STI, but those are pretty stupid and might have been abandoned for the V2. It also doesn't have a plate and is parked on private property - perhaps it is unregisterable or unsmoggable? It is difficult to tune the JDM ECUs and most people end up running "offroad" chips from some random guy. It's not like the 02+ Subarus which can be tuned easily with a laptop. It isn't even OBD2. The bodywork is sort of eh. The grille that it's missing is one of the priciest front end parts on a GC, the rear quarters don't look too bad (but check to see if the rubber "rock strips" are still in there and remove them if so - they trap moisture and salt and lead to rust). Front bumper is sagging but that can be fixed (ideally by replacing that with a v6 bumper from SGP) and it needs a good cleaning, clay barring and waxing. Passenger headlight and corner light is brand new while drivers' side is not - perhaps a past accident. Also why would you do all that interior swap work and stick with the 4-spoke steering wheel? It's an OK project car but I don't think it's anywhere near the level that $4400 would demand. I bet if you talked to the owner for a half hour or so about Subarus that they'd start knocking down the price. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Dec 27, 2013 |

I have always had some weird fascination with a tiny old air cooled Porsche for a project. For $2500 it makes me want to be irresponsible. Description and pics: http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/1064361?ad_cid=3   quote:This car is now owned by second owner. Original owner put this car in a barn in Provo area for almost 20 years. Original Paint on it was Yellow. I repainted in Red. After it sat in the Barn for so long we ended up needing to replace most of the hoses and several parts that aged. We got the car running good and we've had it for a few years. My son drove it only a few times with me during High School as a project car for both of us to work together. He just went on a Mission in early November so selling it now.
