Ok guys...I would like some advice here...

Lets just say I will be coming into a lump sum of money here in about a year or so... I currently have an 88 Vert that is in pretty good shape. I bought it close to 2 years ago with 96,000 miles on it..it currently has 111,000 on it. I use it as my daily driver because it's the only car I have right now. I have been very interested in setting it up with a TII swap, and getting some type of porting done to a jspec engine (was thinking bridgeport ) but who knows. I would basically just dump all the money I would have into the car giving it a complete makeover and wanting to get somewhere around 500 horses out of it. Do you think this is what i should do, or should I invest my money into an FD? Maybe get a blown engine FD and fix it up, or buy a really nice FD with lots of Mods already? I would really appreciate the advice. I really want to have something unique and original for everyone to jealous of....

Oh yeah forgot to mention, If I did all that work to my Vert, I would basically only bring her out on weekends and on nights of fun....

 

500hp? Buy a FD.

 

u should wait for the rx-8 to come out n buy that. its a n/a car wit racing rotors and 275jp stock. beatiful car if u got da money which u do

 

downpayment on a house LOL

your vert still won't be worth much after you spend all that on it...

 

hmm thatz a pretty good situation u got ur self in ... makes me think.
i like the bridgeport j spec idea ,but if its gonna be ur daily driver it wont be that reliable.paint that bitch wonderfully.door jams and under the hood in the engine compartment.. get it looking so nice and fresh. nice wheels... some bass for ur face.. lol custom boxes with that metal colored rounded endge boxes they use now. drop a jspec drive train in that SOB maybe street port it and add some 3mm apex seals hmm keep stock aluminum hood and put a front mount so ur sleeper-ish ya know? ... maybe modify the hell out of it... if not a street ported jspec will run nicely even on a heavy vert.maybe lower the car too! that would be what i would do .

Well.. you can send some of that cash this way .. cuase i need a new electric fuel pump.. eeeh.. eeeh.. i'll race ya when i get done installing it and getting my rex on the road.. ( gotta get the driveshaft balanced). although if you want my opinion get a third gen twin turbo RX-7 like the oen on fast and the furious.. you'll have lots of night time fun!

 

Keep the vert as a daily driver and buy an FD.

 

Definately go for the FD or RX-8 (I'd get the FD)...

 

Last month interests rates fell to their lowest level since 1959. Forget wasting your money on a car, buy a house instead. If you really want to do something for your car, then buy a house with a killer garage.

Make some more money with that money, then you won't have to make decisions, you can do it all, lol. You can buy a foreclosed home and make a good profit but you have to know what your doing. If it was me I'd only spend maybe half that on my car and the rest on other things.

 

put a kicking 3 rotor in it

or put a 3 rotor in a fd

 

i would pay my 924S off and fix up and supercharge my chevelle

 

Ryde or die has the best idea.

make more money off your money

 

If yer final decision is to buya car why not dump some intoa good running daily to ease load in rex then clean up that vert and give her the love she truly desires mu ha h aha

PS.
If you cant figure it out, send me the cash I got plenty of ideas for my NA 88 hehe

 

Go to Vegas. 25k on red.

 

Well.........................
What I would do would be spend 500 bucks on a gun, 5 bucks on some amo and the rest on bail!

you wont make very much with theses damn low intreast rates

 

I agree with Ryde or Die...making "not much more money" is STILL more than you had!

 

Buy $25,000 worth of Tornadoes and then turnaround and resell them on Ebay for 2x as much. Then take that $50,000 and invest it in electronic BOV devices. After resale you should be somewhere around $100,000. Not bad. I think you should now have enough to buy a boatload of purple wiper nozzles. You can sell the purple ones at whatever price you want—I haven't seen many of them on the road. After all is said and done you should have turned that $25,000 into about $500,000. Now take $1000 of that and put it into your 'vert and put the remainder into real estate in Florida.

 

hehe, you will probly make more than 2x as much on the "tornado"

 

This here, fellas, is the type of person thats going to be set for life. I would suggest the same, while im sure you have heard "it takes money to make money", the more money you start out with, the more you'll get back. I would deffinatly put away about 5-10grand in a savings account, and use the rest to make more money, then when you get a good system down, then worry about your car and so on.

But, if you arnt going to make money with it, i would get a TII with a blown motor for about 900 bucks, and then build a bad *** BP motor with S5 internals, T66 or T70, 720 primarys and 1300CC secondarys, or whatever you want. Get a sequential dog box tranny, and a bad *** rear end for that bitch, ect ect. You'll get you 500HP with probably less than half that money.

 

Man I'm about to buy my first house fairly soon...with $10,000 or less I'm just 20 by they way. Think I'll fix it up and sell it a little later and should still come up about $20-30k richer

 

No ****? me and a couple of freinds of mine were going to start doing this on the side, there are a good many old houses down town where we live just going away, most are for sale. Let me know how it goes.
