Default should I start a wicked project?

I am deciding on buying an Lotus Elise with an blown engine. As many people know an Honda B Series engine will fit w/o major problems into that chassi. Damn, can you imagin an B18C turboed beast with about 400whp in an 650kg light car?! RWD and light, handle like a Go Kart. more than insane

What would a lotus with blown engine cost you? I really really want one. When I have money for an actuall project car, that is what I am getting. A Lotus Elise-Exige with a LS vtec at 10 psi. There would be no need for more power becasue that would smoke tires all the way through 5th

There used to be a guy around DFW who had one. He shipped it in pieces and put it together in the states. Customs caught up to him after about a year or two and the car was taken away i believe.

1600lbs. exotic look. RWD. Phenomenal handling...................... and if u put a turbo on it.
