Ok, you have ohhh..lets say $10,000-$15,000 or so that you fell into to spend on your car, would you buy a FD, or would you build one sick ass FC?? Personally I would build me a nice FC.

For a 20b, thats cutting it kind of close, unless you planned on throwing one in without going through it.

Rotaryman88 08-27-2002 07:16 PM

I don't know if 15K would build a good 20B FC, but if I had 15K I would finish building my sick ass FC AND I'd buy an FD https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I only need about 5K to finish my project, and 10K would buy me an FD w/ issues for a new project https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

rotary88 08-27-2002 07:16 PM

or i could just modify a tII a whole freaking lot

One modified RX is plenty for me. Half the fun is building it, so I would do a FC, turbo convertible I think, just to try to be a bit different, keep it under the stock hood, RacingBeat exaust, try to keep it quiet, would even have a quiet blow-off valve, I want something thats a 'sleeper'. Yeah I know a convertible is heavier, but at least its somewhat different. Then when I got bored with it, go with a bigger turbo, then some nitrous, then a taller gear ratio rear end, you get the idea, then probably paint the convertible a nice silver when I got bored with that, only because I have only seen one, and because I can paint my car whenever I want, lol

Yeah, go with an FC...but I'll still kick your ass. :P When you decide to come to the dark side just look in the mirror and say "13BAce" 3 times. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

A house, thats sounds o.k too. Usually id say throw the loot in the market and let it earn for a while but, it is way to unstable for that now. If not a nice down payment on a house, I think id sit on it a while. As far as a choice between the two, sleeper turbo fc ragtop sounds like a winner to me

Well, my first priority is to get the new turbo/motor/ECU setup onto the 91 coupe. Then what I'll probably do is send the NA motor back home. when I have a vacation I'll put that into the convertible. I promised my mom that I would get that car running again with A/C, quiet exhaust, etc. so that everyone else at home could use it.



I got my manifold and turbo back yesterday. So I'm on my way. I figure that I'll have more time to work on things in December, but I may start earlier.

Boat is in 100 pieces, when you fix boats all day, everyday, the last thing you want to do is work on another boat! That new Chrysler 413 sitting on the engine stand with its close to 500 horsepower waiting to go in sure is temting though! I really only need 2-3 weeks of working on it after work to get it going
