the time has come for a new project car. i have 6k cash to purchase a car but struggling on what car to buy be a fan of alot of different cars. so i want to see what your ideas are on the subject... what kinda project car would you buy?

 

Muscle car

 

lol for 6 grand get wrecked.

 

What? If you're implying that you can't get a muscle car that isn't wrecked for 6 grand, you're very very wrong. The right deal just needs to be found. My '66 Charger I just purchased isn't mint, but aside from needing the interior redone, it could be put on the road right now. I just worked out some carb troubles, so it runs great now. It needs a fender and some other minor body work, but since I only paid $1k for it, I can afford to do some work to it. My dad has a '66 Cuda that is pretty much original mint condition. He paid $7k for it with 62k miles on the odometer. The first car show he took it to (four days after he bought it) he had three seperate guys offer him at least $11k cash (and as much as $15k) for the car as is. The OP is looking for a project which means it will be a work in progress.

 

i was thinkin a c4 vette

 

j swap eg =]

this is my plan for my next car.

 

No thanks, custom hood, traction issues. Nice freeway roll races though.

 

naw ppl have fit it without cutting the hood. there's a vid on youtube with an ugly *** orange one and its in central america or somewhere

 

The only way to do that is mounting the drive train lower and this creates ground clearance issues as well as poor axle angles and axle clearance issues.

 

well look at the people who ride around dumped in civics. no different.

 

Ask any one of them how many axles they have gone through.

 

the 2 ek civics i had a shoot with before never replaced any axles. the black ej is going on 123k i think last time i saw and still on oem axles. the em1 is about 130 and still on oem axles.

 

94+ integra

 

268hp/232tq stock in a 2300 pound chassis sounds like too much for me.

 

Build one of these:


That's what I'm doing. You can build the whole thing for $5k or less and it will be faster than almost anything out there

*edit: Here is a good link to check out for building a seven: http://cheapsportscar.net/. That guy was outrunning ariel atoms with his.

 

looks like a bootleg shelby lol

 

It's an Ariel Atom, and it is a British designed race car, that is street legal. They usually are powered by a 1 liter Yamaha R1 engine, but they have been seen with B16B B18C and K20 or such. Fast and light... would be a good go in my books.

 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is NOT an Ariel Atom!!!!!!

That is a Caterham 7 kit car.

 

didn't read any of the other answers but my thoughts would be a rotary project... or theres a guy in Austin, Tx that built a FC with a 4g63T 6Bolt strapped to Mazda B2200 tranny case with gearing from a Turbo2 inside. Theres a company that makes a conversion kit can't think of the name though.

 

a Mitsu 4G63 is a roatry? Wow, I always thought rotaries were 13B and similar, got to get out more.
