yep, those suckers are fast, but it would be too much of a hassle to convert it to RWD. Prior to that, I would also need to think about a dillema - what kind of rear end would I need for this conversion. It would need a whole new drivetrain, so it would kinda defeat the purpose. I would probably need a longitudenal engine with transmission, custom driveshaft and a diff.

 

You are correct on this one, finding a 5-series with a 5spd is vary hard these days. However, the antique status would not affect the price by much. If it was an ///M then it would help, but those are expensive already. A '91 M5 can be had for around $17 in a decent condition

 

Hmm....why not get a nissan pulsar, put this in it. Should be dirt cheap and sentra aftermarket fits pulsars.

Or a mirage with a 4G93? Should be sweet too

 

I pretty much have my sights set on a '92 240sx and '94 MR2

 

IMO MR2's better.

Another option would be this... ...Just messing with you:-D I'd love the older Volga though...

 

HAHA. I wonder if it has over 100hp. I remember older models pushing like 70

I love the way MR2 looks and it is a toyota, but I'm not sure how much horses I can squeeze out of that. 240sx looks great and with SR20DET, possibilities are endless - 600+whp is very achievable.

 

You're on the right track... 240 SX with an SR20 swap will be just what you're after. And if not, I'd say get an early to mid 90's Galant VR4 and build that 4G through the roof... just to watch people's faces when you cook them in an early model econo-box sedan.

 

the dodge stealth is virtually the same car with a different name slapped on it..and much cheaper

 

I want something that looks cool out of the box. I don't want it to look like crap, and I don't want to spend any money on appearance mods, except for wheels

 

87ish 325 beamer.... take it to, crap i dont remember the name of the league.
92 240sx sr20det can be done under 6k
or
a 92 stang orginally a 4banger = cheap 5.0 potential. www.stangparts.com can usually get a 5 liter cheap, a rear end, brakes, tranny, everything.... about 6k
