so here's the thing...I really really miss my Nissan S14...and I want to build me a time attack/drift car again...so I'm really really really wanting to build me a new car...let's get some ideas rollin for me...the rules...

- Budget...I'm budgeting myself $40k for the chassis and mods...anything else goes...vehicle MUST BE RWD!!!

I'm leaning towards an IS300 with a 2jzGTE swap / or GS430 V8...or G35/Z33 Coupe with Titan motor...

Let the brain storming begin...

The GS isn't a manual, nor is it a "driver's car" so I'd nix that choice. The IS300 is a sedan, and is older...so I'd stick with the G35. 2 cents.

 

use the GS430 engine in the IS300 with an adapted supra tranny to the GS block...

I would go back to your roots!! Another S14! You can find quite a few 95-98 decent shape cars out there.

I've also thought about doing this. Buying a decent used one for $4K-$5K and making it a two or three year project

 

lend me some money for rims and a drop since you have so much of it and then get a 350 for drifting.

 

how bout an r34 into rwd

 

Really really really?

And you still have $5,000 left over. lol

 

I vote for IS300 or RX7 w/ LS1 swap.

If you go the IS300 route ---->Drift IS

 

NSX? Shit for 40k...that is the way I would go, or an S2000. E46 M3?

If you go Z/G, skip the VK56DE, too heavy, and just boost the VQ35,

Evo, STi, if you want to wrench

Kinda give up on drifting with those though, but Time Attack/HPDE >> Drifting

 

lol...fuckin a man...talk about Rape!!

STAYING AWAY FROM LS MOTORS!!! we already blew one up in our drift car...and yeah...no bother rebuildin it...just threw it out...lol

You want to buy a car that is already built?

I think you should just start from scratch and build up the way you want it...

If you buy a car that is already built is going to be no fun and you will get sick of the car pretty damn fast... I thought the whole fun about project car is to build your own?

If you are looking for g35 then I seen quite of few G35 pushing 500RWHP+ going for around $30k...

 

$40k?? fuck. I wish I had that kind of money for my S14.... I will have so much money left even after what I want to do with mine...

I think $40k on 240sx, you will pretty much have EVERYTHING you want on that car..

 

no i'm not gonna buy a built car...that's just crazy...

chassis...
engine swap...500+ rwhp
wide body...
cage...
strip and stitchweld...
8 wheels...
big brakes...
bodywork and paint...

I'm gonna try and get it done by july!

-Jason

 

Used Elise?

Ariel Atom kit?

Body in white Camaro?

 

If you're going to do that, then import an S15, Type R... They look better, and are light, unlike the G series....

 

40k could get you lots of fun! g/l

^ Sex...if it doesn't go boom.

 

but it may very well go boom...I read on the other forum that he didn't change out any of the internals. Either he's not going to get the full boost or he's going to go boom.

Either way the things HAWTNESS
