Wow, I'd rather spend that on a Supra. A mk4 Supra. You can only buy respect when the stuff you buy is actually worth it... :somb:

a mk4 supra is not worth 27k. $:-\$

I can get RHD Mk4 for $14-15K. Problem is I've yet to drive or tune a Mk4 that was worth half what it sold for. Those cars are hype, and the best thing you can do is transplant their engines into a chassis that doesn't suck.

Seriously, how do you build a soopercar with such piss poor traction, power transfer, and handling? Sure they do the top speed stability thing decently, but most anything pushing 4000lbs does.

+1, plus I'd rather have my car not look like a jelly bean/catfish

Fuck me these hongers get more retarded by the minute. These two fags think I'm the idiot because it's not an Escort motor.

fuck there is a guy in town who bought a $14,000 B series motor

came with no sensors and a bunch of other shit. Apparently SUPPOSED to run 9's. He has it sitting outside under a tarp for the last year.... its starting to rust...

And he is a drug dealer, I forgot to mention he is going to run a peakboost kit with a t3/t4

Not when you pay other people to do all the work.

Fuck, even doing all my own work (well other then basic engine machine work, for which I lack the tools) I could easy dump $40K+ into a motor, probably not a Honda motor, but into a Cummins no problem.

Infact it would look something like this:

For reference, that is an HX82 you see.

I hate it when a forum thinks their thread is hot shit so once they realize its hotlinked they immeditaly make teh thread only viewable if you sign up. Czause they know mad fuckers will sign up just to see it and their membership jumps adn they get more dough from sponsers.

I also hate it when someone has like a top 10 list and each item is on a seperate page. Its an inconvieance for me and all teh website is trying to do is beef up their page hits.

Mud drag racer or tractor pull type truck?

I'm not seeing a picture or a link. fail.

But yeah, money...when a shop is doing the work can add up super quick. Guy at work has about $12k into a del sol, topping out at around 400hp, has never been to a track and when he gets back from iraq will probably put another $5-8g's into a dart block and the associated components. The car is nice, but not 12k nice. forged internals, the ports have been cleaned up, intake manifold, huge tb, huge catch can set-up/valve cover catchcan, omni suspension...

Shit, you can put $40k in to a Dodge just ot make it WORK.... :somb:

FYI that forum now requires sign-up to view that page. It just had some ej22 pics with COSWORTH on the heads, nothing special really. BTW the motor didn't even have an intake/exhaust manifold on it!
