is this a question of what we would do to our car with 8k? If so, this is way too easy. I have a '93 325i. $8k would be just about perfect for a turbo setup and a beefier sway bar. OBD1 FTW http://www.trmtuning.com/product/trm-ob…

Total of $16k so you get more for suspension!

The $8788 left should buy a lot of pain bodywork! What does the finished car look like?

My Uncle had a box of old Hot Rod magazines stored at my grandma's place and I became a car guy (age 6) in 1978 when I saw a photo of this car.

I missed that i got 16k total. added a T-56 swap and Big brakes. I'd also need wheels and tires... with some sticky rubber

The car currently looks like this. It needs a new coat of paint and a little rust repair.

hmm. I don't think it would take $8k more to do what I want with the suspension. Probably new poly bushings for the rear subframe and a new rear diff. It could use some odds and ends but I just redid most of the important suspension bits. It would end up looking bone stock. I wouldn't want to lower it due to shitty roads. I just want it to look like a bone stock mid range german sedan from the 90's. Just enough extra power to make it more fun and surprise bros in V6 mustangs and the handling to back it up.

I don't know why i want my car to be the ultimate straight line sleeper.

Because it's already has a 2JZ and 4-door plus tokyo taxi appearance, i think i'll spent 0 bucks on aero.

Now, suspension, can i keep my stock please? It's comfortable as hell. So 0k on suspension.

So, 16k, 2JZ, the rest is just your imagination ;)

*but seriously, 16k can do lots to 2JZ right?

Engine = Professionally rebuilt caddy V12

Suspension = IRS probably a Jag rearend, custom built frame and an in wheel setup for the front.

Nice, any photos of what it would look like when it was built?

ok, yep $16k sounds like 1000hp to me, but you may want to upgrade the trans/driveshaft/diff/axles/ brakes....and leave plenty left over for tires!

Nah, i'm not interested to take it to a trackday. It's Toyota Crown Btw.

I once took my old S600 W140 to a trackday. Bad idea.

But i also once took it to Dragstrip and it's a very good idea.

It would look a lot like this. I'd keep the body basically the same. No hood because there's no need for that and that v-12 is pretty big.

I'm actually making high compression pistons for a 1930 Caddy V16 for a customer in Texas now.

Not the prettiest thing but a lot better than 6:1 compression or so :)

Yep, Donor cars go a long way!

Don't get me wrong, I love my GTO but assuming I could find a very basic shell in Japan, import it and make it legal somehow - I would for $16,000

Nice! I think I'm kinda jealous of your job.

Yeah, I was thinking about a GTO cause it fits the bill in a lot of ways; but it's getting hard to find a nice one!

It is pretty cool and I hope others get to do the work they enjoy. I talk to a ton of racers and engine builders of many types of cars and I get to race vicariously through them.

I'd do forged internals and stroke the 4.6 V8 in my Discovery to a 5.0 replacing the stretch bolts with studs and replacing the liners with pinned top hat liners. Swap the Auto gearbox out for an R380 5 speed manual and move all control units to the roof in a water proof container.

I'd use the rest to purchase air lockers for the front and rear axle.

Beautiful build. I know a car very similar to this. Owned by a HPDE driving instructor so very deadly.

Toyota Celica 1.6 ST coupe

Swap the 1.6 for something more powerful

rwd or awd swap, and this car would be perfect.

I would paint it dark purple.
