Marylander Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Just something to play around with and tinker. No DD requirements or anything. What would you get?
ChargerMatt Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 A smart car.Then drop a supercharged Viper V10 in it.
MichiganSRT8 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 send the money to me so i can throw a whipple on my jeep , ive already got some saved up and that would about to it.
J Tegeler Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I would look for a 02 or 03 WRX that needed some love and play around with that
Vincenzo Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I would probably buy a little MGB or maybe a pre-74 spitfire. Perhaps even a Fiat 124 Spider, money allowing. Something small, fun, and a convertible. Conversely I also might get a rat rod. As long as mechanically everything is sound, the rust ads character.

TK427 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I would get another motorcycle, and detail it with Adams...:rockon:I had to sell my last one for a second car for my wife and the new born!
70'sChevyGirl Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I was told not to get any ideas by posting to this Thread. :lolsmack: I think my husband is not wanting me to surprise him with anymore things that need insurance added for awhile. :jester: Hey...I do what I do and do it very well.
Chris@Adams Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Thats hard to say 3-5 doesn't buy much today. I think that I would spend it on a mod for my GTO.
MichiganSRT8 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I would look for a 02 or 03 WRX that needed some love and play around with that ^^^ Im with him, ive actually been contemplating this, a kid around me is doing full front end STi swap on a wagon like this, its sick, hes not close to done and I think they said it runs 12 on pump gas haha. Sti front end and motor, bigger turbo, would be so much fun. This ones like what I would get, talk them down from that, prolly could get it for around 3500 then prolly throw 8-10g over the few years making it sweet! 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Wagon, $4,695 - Cars.com Not for everyone but I think its sick, plus a sweet sleeper if you dont wanna go too far!
Marylander Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 A smart car.Then drop a supercharged Viper V10 in it. Hmm. Fun, but might not fit the budget.

I had a WRB 2003 bought untill the guy wouldnt give me the title so I canceled the cashiers check! It is in my plans maybe next spring to buy a wrx

It is in my plans maybe next spring to buy a wrx ahh man that sucks, itl be right at the right time though. I plan on picking up an 05 or 06 STi hopefully when my jeep reaches its limit or i choose not to mod it. Only thing that sucks with subbies is you know that most of them were either tracked or beat the h*ll out of. Gotta pretty much know the person who owned it before or plan on rebuilding it. One of my favorite cars of all time though!
J Tegeler Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 yeah, I have been seeing bone stock subies around here though so they could not have been beat to much! and then I could mod with aprts of my choice which I like. I was working with a guy on another 2003 and we were working on a price after I test drove it and liked it. I randomly decided to do a cardax and found out the car had been 1) tottaled with 3k on it 2)sat in a junkyard for a year and 3) he was the 8th owner! so needless to say I said forget that car and gave up on my hunt for a subie
txredgt Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Either a MG, Triumph or there about. Possibly also a Fox body mustang. I think I'd want a 4 eye T Top one though.
luvmyride Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Some may say it's a girls car, but a Mazda Miata would be a fun choice. They are reliable, fun to drive, have a ton of mods available, and readily available. If set up for SCCA type autocross, thay handle as well as some super cars (can lap faster than many muscle cars, too). The ragtop is just a bonus....
Bill-V8V Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I say you do what I did, forget the extra car and spend it on Home Theater equipment. Better yet, just send it to me so I can actually pay for all the stuff I've been buying :jester:

I've actually looked at those with an eye toward making it into a real handler, but Im 6'2" and just can't get comfortable in them (though I could always swap in a racing seat, but m not sure I want to go down that road...) Cool ideas in this thread. Speaking of subarus, anyone heard more about factory five's plans for a WRX based kit car?
J Tegeler Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 This was my friends latest project..car is ridiculous! he had a 4g63 eckipse before this and a roush stage 2 mustang. check out a few of his videos. This car in a foxbody with the 4g63 motor RWD running 38lb of boost
Stryker Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 This is easy I think about this all the time. Usually it's with a MUCH bigger budget. H22 swapped EG Civic Hatch....... maybe with some boost
chief Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 if it had to be a car some old eg hatch, with b16 already in it and throw 10 psi to it, fun dd.. If i could use it on the car, built trans not gonna find a H22 in a eg for under 5k lol be realistic here guys! lol Id do a built K in a eg with a 6262 if we could be dreamerss lol
AudiOx Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I'd probably get a beat up jeep or pickup for errands. I have the sedan and wife has the convertible so that's the 'hole' in our vehicle family.
