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 2: Buy a cheap used ultralight plane.
Step 3: Buy a cheap trailer for said plane.

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. :)

Slee rear bumper- $2500
ARB front bumper- $1000
Superwinch Talon 12.5- $1000
Misc parts, wiring, taxes, etc- $500.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
