If you could build/purchase any car, what would it be?

EK Civic Hatchback (1996)
---H22 or B18C5 (I love the LSD) motor
---Bomex Type II kit
---Carbon fiber hood
---Spoon side mirrors
---turbocharger (don't know what brand yet)
---LM intercooler
---the loudest, most aggressive sounding blow-off valve
---Some bronze or gold Advan's or Spoon's, 18's of course
---i/h/e (the basics)
---Charcoal paint job
---C-West eyelids
---etc, etc, etc.

I can't wait to build this baby when I graduate from pharmacy school, whew. I eventually want to own four cars (count them) when I get out of school: a 2002 CL-S, the above mentioned Civic, and an EG Civic HB and Del Sol all done in the similar way. I eventually want to do a JDM Integra Type R too. You can probably say that I have goals. I probably just jinxed myself my posting this, I'll probably end-up dropping out of school with bad grades and no cars.

It will be fun to hear some of your guys' ideas. Exotics, domestics, whatever, bring it on.

"I fucking love JDM."

My dreamcar would have to be a Supra, whenever I see one on the road I always pay my respects and never race one thinking I can take it, anyway, I'd add the stage 6 turbo kit from www.suprastore.com, the veilside bodykit, and paint it black with metallic blue flames on the front....drool....

I would build a custom tube chassis open wheel roadster, with tandem seating. Rear engine, H22a N/A. With a carbon fiber body shell$$$. so with engine and everything, it would weight less than 1200 pounds.

1982 Caddy Eldorado rolling on some dubs with 8 12's in the trunk

most of you guys would kill yourself VERY quickly with a GT2....

get something with awd if you think you can drive that much power...

I would get a CLK GTR, or a McLaren F1 so I can roll with two hoes all the time

Welp. First i'd have the honda f1 engineers design the engine and clutch. I want a turbo, i-vtec, IMA and AWD. Gimmie a german tranny. I'll take the interior made by bentley. I want the current mercedes design team to make the body of the car. Most likely i'd pick the current s500 design.


OR


Give me the current s500 w/ an M5 engine swap with Brabus deep dish rims and bodykit.

Realistic--I'd go for a CL 6spd. With more cash, BMW M5, no doubt about it.

Did they make that for sale yet? I'd take either that or an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. Stock, in black.
