what can i do w/ $5000??
ok, lets pretend i just found $5000 in spare change between my couch cushions; what can i do with it?
also, pretend i dont have an RX7 yet, so i would need to BUY one first, in good condition of course...
should i first buy an S4 or S5 T2?
after paying the average price to get a T2, what could i do w/ the left over money to make it go faster?
after doing all that stuff and spending the rest of the money to go faster, how fast could it end up being??
thanks guys
chris
PS; in real life, i already have a non turbo S4 running 15.2's w/ BPU, so i want faster with a turbo.

yea, you can get a car with a blown motor for like a grand or something close, and get a good streetported motor with new housings and seals .......etc etc, for 2-3k then ad 2k for abigger turbo,
damn, then you'll have to stop and save more for other stuff, like 7-8 hundred for clutch and flywheel.
and 500+ for extra fuel, and a grand for an intercooler. There is also other stuff you'll need to spend money, so 5grand wont cover it all.
But if you do already have the s4 n/a, go with a supercharger, newclutch and flywheel, and then upgrade the suspension.

are S4 turbos more durable than S5's?
im thinking cuz of the 2 different types of rotors, i think the S4 rotors are more durable, and can handle more boost and abuse. also, they have a mech OMP, so i can deep 6 that and run premix, and the computer wont throw a code. however, the S4 turbo doesnt have as great of a WG set up as the S5. but that wont matter if i go w/ a 60-1.
what if i get a T2 w/ a blown motor, then have a rebuilt street ported motor, then gasket matched intake, S5 turbo (to start with), isuzu NPR fmic, custom IC pipes (made by me, w/ mandrel bends), ACT street/strip organic clutch, Walbro 255 or supra TT pump, dyno tuned haltech, custom DP, MP, exhaust.
how does that sound?
thanks for the input
chris
PS; in reality, id have to SELL my s4 inorder to free up money. so i cant use the money freed up from my S4, to mod my s4...since it will be Gone.

Sink it all un IBM stock - currently trading at 83 and change, it's a sure winner to break 100 in any up-turn of the stock market.  It was trading at a high over 120 a few years ago before the stock market crash, but I bet that's not what you wanted to hear...

actually ted, thats a very interesting idea. is this the lowest their stock has been in a while or what?
i never really thought about that. but i bet i could make my money work for me, and then maybe i can step up to a Lexus SC300...and do a 2JZ-GTE swap. hehe.
the idea to sell my current set up and do a Jspec turbo drivetrain swap, is actually not too bad of an idea. my car is SUPER Light, no power accessory options, and could be even lighter w/ more weight reduction. the probelm is i have that CRAPPY base suspension...4 lug, single pot, solid rear rotors. good news is, no AAS.
is there anyplace i can get a Jspec front cut? then i can probably gank the whole front suspension too.
thanks guys
chris
btw, ted, did you get my email, i sent to your FC3S-pro address.
