Paint, interior, finish off with a turbo kit for the 5.0 FB, a nice FC vert for the wife and the $2008 challenge budget for the SBC FB covered.

The rest in a huge damn garage 40x40

^Couldn't have said it better.

I'd pay off my Rx8, then finally finish my turbo setup on my FB, and then buy another FB shell and do a NA 20B swap into it.

Either that or just buy a 911.

Yeah, seriously. Why is this thread in the FB forum?

I mean, I have nothing against FBs at all.. I just always see them as a project you undertake if you're tight on money.

If I had 35k to throw around just for a car, I'd buy a Civic and convert it to RWD, then throw a real engine in it, then be the proud owner of the best Civic ever. How 'bout them apples?

Your kidding about the civic, right?

Not all Fb owners are tight on money. I would say I am an FB owner with pockets of an FD owner. Its what you like.

As far as the 35k for throwing around for a car, I am doing that now and should reach that mark by the end of the year with a turbo upgrade and fuel injection upgrade.
