Smile if money was no object....

like the title says...what would u do to ur FD?

i would probably make it the baddest street legal 4-rotor, with a custom twin gt35/40 kit on it and a sequential manual tranny.

Doesnt hurt to dream every once in a while

I'd do a 3 rotor, probably with a semi-small responsive turbo. Aggressive street port and a set of HRE wheels. That'd probably do it for me, outside of the normal upgrades.

I wouldn't build for crazy power, there's a point where I feel you have too much power and it becomes unusable. I'd just want the 3 rotor for the added torque

Yup, I'd probably do a 3 rotor conversion too, with a big T78 or T88, and maybe a HKS sequential or Supra tranny mated up to it. Gutted interior, full roll cage, RE Amemiya widebody kit, AD9 CF hood C -West CF wing, sleek headlights. 18x9/18x10 Advan RGs, Brembo or Willwood big brakes, anything to do with suspension will be upgraded, ohhhh and some fuzzy dice.


The car would be my daily driver too.

Haha, i too love that Pagani Zonda. I'm thinkin that would be track only, as my monster 4-rotor FD would be my street car. I wonder what a FD would look like with the 787B paint scheme.....

Yea right. Then the car would have been around $85,000.


If money was no object, I would redo my seats and carpet, paint the car, get some new wheels and just enjoy the car.

I would scare the bezesus out of the American people into supporting a war in a godforsaken place in the middle of fricking land of camels. Get alot of innocent hardworking Americans killed (and alot of foreigners killed but who cares?) Take the oil from this place and remake this place into my own oil reserve, raise alot of money and win the presidential erection. Oh yes, donate my RX7 to the Ford Museum in Detroit.

Oh wait, someone else is doing it already. Damn, I gotta to think even bigger: how about world domination and mind control?

If $$ was no object, I'd get my pfc tuned @ XS (after each mod)

For stock twins, it'll take them ~4-5 hrs. Single turbo's take ~ 8 & + hrs. This is @ $150/hr. This is after the $75 mandatory diagnostic & $45 dyno strap-on fee.
