Ok guys...I would like some advice here...



Lets just say I will be coming into a lump sum of money here in about a year or so... I currently have an 88 Vert that is in pretty good shape. I bought it close to 2 years ago with 96,000 miles on it..it currently has 111,000 on it. I use it as my daily driver because it's the only car I have right now. I have been very interested in setting it up with a TII swap, and getting some type of porting done to a jspec engine (was thinking bridgeport https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ) but who knows. I would basically just dump all the money I would have into the car giving it a complete makeover and wanting to get somewhere around 500 horses out of it. Do you think this is what i should do, or should I invest my money into an FD? Maybe get a blown engine FD and fix it up, or buy a really nice FD with lots of Mods already? I would really appreciate the advice. I really want to have something unique and original for everyone to jealous of.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

Oh yeah forgot to mention, If I did all that work to my Vert, I would basically only bring her out on weekends and on nights of fun.... :bigok:

FD. or 3-rotor fc.

3 rotor, triple turbo SA.

FC baby go with the FC

i would do a t2 swap in the vert, spend about half (or less of your money)and save the rest

I'd save that money for retirement and pretend like it doesn't exist until I'm old and grey. The earlier you can retire, the earlier you can enjoy it. With that cash socked away, I'd still play with my car on my current budget.

jerkracer has a good idea...



maybe spend a little on the FC, but mod it too much and you;re just gonna have headaches trying to make it run the way you want



imho an FD isn't worth it...if anything i'd buy a supra for that money... :bigthumg:

Use it as a down payment on a house.

Hell, yes! If you are paying rent, go buy a house. There is nothing you can do with that money that will safely give you the kind of return that a well-chosen house will. Get one with a nice garage!

I would be just graduating college in about a year...And the first year out...Ill be living at home..cuz i have a sweet house and to save on living costs...so i wouldnt be paying rent...only thing i would have to pay for would be my car insurance and paying off my school loans...



So thats basically why I want to focus this money on the 7....I obviouslly dont have to spend it all at once..but there are some nice shops around that can tune cars pretty good....so I figured the engine will be running perfectly...



Thanks for the input...keep it up...sometimes I LOL on your replies..but at least they make for good entertainment...

i like the house idea

get a nice garage so you can work on the vert in comfort

Supra Supra Supra! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png haha, ok i'll stop now, lol

Invest it... there is absolutely no reason for you to blow the whole amount on stupid toys. Spend a little of to have some fun, but save the majority. Trust me, if your just about to get out of school...there will be plenty of rainy days ahead. I just got out, class of 2001. And work sucks. I miss college.

downpayment on second house or firzt house or condo...

yah work sucks, go on vactation for a year

investing sounds good.. or you can go on a pilgrimage to visit all the strip clubs in the world..

or you could pay off the loans with that money and have your regular money go to your car..

Use it to buy an investment property. Stay at home with your folks and let the rent coming in pay off the house for you while your living at home with your oldies for free.

why not just sell the car you have now and get a 3rd gen???

save the rest though

why dont you upolster the seats with all that green



mike

I have the best idea yet, give me the money, I will take good care of it, or at least 3 grand, hey, you can spare that much right?

Dude....stay with the FC...get a badass paintjob...**** that jspec crap....Put a twinturbo FD motor in it..give it a motec m4 pro uprated turbos and injectors and 350hp...you now have 10,000 dollars in you bank accout (for rent) that you can get a apt with a garage

okay..now that I have tons of Ideas...Let's try to focus on if you were going to spend a lot of that money on a 7 or upgrading one...What would you do?

i have an apt. you can rent out :evildeal:

upgrade your vert!

i like apexz idea

stay with the fc

Maybe Erik should sell his Rx-7, and buy a supra. WTF



Rotary Power all the way, f*ck a supra

Buy a house, rent it out to pay the morgage, use it's equity as

collateral to buy a TII motor . . . .

dump money into the car, go with a tII or 3 rotor fc, and spend the rest on a hydraulic lift for you garage.

what ever you do.....stay FC...im ******* hardcore fc lol







no

if you must buy a car:



fd, nsx, or a supra



or just save most of it and turbo your vert and setup a pimpy garage.

thats a sacrelig here son

you just suffer from detonation-tolerance envy.
