Kinja'd!!!

What would you do with your $5000 Torshinsky fun bucks ?

Mine would be new seats, tires and armor

Figure about $1000 for seats (new frames, new leather, new pads and seat heaters)

$1500 for tires and wheels

$1200 for a rack

$1300 for a new build your own rear bumper.

What would you do if...nay...when Jason gives us all 5 grand to fix up our cars?

Depends. Can I use them for something other than air-cooled VW parts?

Step 1: Make Tucker into an offroader.
Step 2: Buy a cheap used ultralight plane.
Step 3: Buy a cheap trailer for said plane.
Step 4: Go everywhere and do all the things!

My offroad project has a base price of $1000, a cheap ultralight (like, a really really ultralight) is only about $3500 or so, and you could swing a trailer from CL for a couple hundred. :)

Since they’re Torchbucks, I assume they can only be spent on crazy or whimsical things. Therefore, I will forego the suspension upgrades to my current ride, the donor car, and/or kit car down payment.

I’ll find a boxy 1980s Chevy Caprice and see how close I can bring it to a black & white fake cop car dragster.

If we got three units of $5k torchsky bux, well, that would fix a lotta stuffs.

Wheels, and tires probably. Spend the rest on gas/insurance.

Get rid of infinite scrolling and put the related stores back on the left hand side of the page.

What kind of tire options are you looking at? Does that guy take a 15" wheel? Maybe a spring spacer?

$100 - 4-5 doses of strong psilocybin mushrooms (for the genuine Torch experience)

$25 - markers and drawing paper

$4,875 - to implement whatever I draw while hallucinating wildly.

I’m assuming TorchDollars are roughly USD so that means $6810.70CAN today, so this;

I’m sure Jason would approve of spending on automotive lighting.

Good question! I’m looking for at least all terrains on 15s. I may have to do a spacer though so I can get a wheel wide enough to fit a wide tyre.

The fintail could eat 5K like it was a snack.

I suppose I’d have a little valve work done, and maybe some new suspension parts. That’d do it.

$1200 for a roof rack ?!?!?

04/26/2017 at 18:13, STARS: 1

yup, go price em out for cruisers. By the time you have feet and a fet mounting points, you are at $900-1300. I think I will buy a raw Gamviti and weld my own tabs.

Oof. That’s rough. A half-way decent raw rack for the XJ only runs about $400 .

Swap a V-TEC head onto the Integra, get the ecu adapted for like $40 or get a junkyard one if I can. 15" GS-R wheels, so I can get better tires. Then get a decent set of coilovers or spring/shock combo.

Use the remainder to get an old classic car. Preferably an El Camino.

$1000 for new wheel bearings

$1000 for a set of refinished factory rims.
