I have thought about it from time to time, there is a local FD (or WAS at one time) that was just stripped of everything, running a big single turbo and making something like 478 hp, running 9's. It would be fun but not cost-effective.

I think I'd rather spend the money on a Supra or modding an SC300, or just say **** it and actually buy a new(er) car like a Lexus IS350, Infinity G35, Volvo S60R, etc.

The money comment was a joke. Sometimes hard to make a joke using text...

FWIW, I also had 2 FDs for a year. One near stock, the other fully built that I was planning on using more for HPDE activities. Sold the near stock one and having fun tinkering with the fully built one. For me, I'd also rather have a larger, more comfy car for regular driving that I can drive anywhere and not feel bad when someone dings it.

Even though my R1 was pristine with only 27k miles on the clock when I purchased her, the process of *****-to-the-wall modding just kind of happened as a gradual evolution over time due to the hunger for acceleration and speed
