Post future car projects that u want to do - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Post any projects that u would lie to do sometime in the future. Wether it be soon or in the distant future. Likely or unlikely. w/e if uve got an idea for what u want to do lets hear it.

I'll start
One car id really like to pick up is a Lotus Esprit V8. It is twin turbo, and is a legit supercar. However, the prices of these Esprits are on the decline. They currently range from $30k-$50k, and are still dropping. my plan would be to swap in some bigger turbos among other things, and get it to about 500whp or so. It would be sick, and isnt all that outrageous an idea considering I will be getting Engineering and business degrees.

what is this.. the dreamers thread?

ok id like to boost 30 psi into a veyron and run 6's all day while keeping a spare in my trunk.

DPancoast · 01-02-2009, 07:14 PM

I have and always will love the Espirit.

As for me, for some reason the Honda game has caught my attention. Mostly because of Aarons' hatch and previous car... and Will's Del Sol haha. I dunno, it would be fun to buy one and do a boosted project someday.

Other than that, I'll be swapping my car soon enough. Probably a GenIII motor and I want to upgrade to a The GT3082 which I've heard awesome things about and it's not badly priced. Plus I'd probably do a .78 A/R Twin-scroll Exhaust housing because Twin Scroll is droooooooool

I'd also like to one day have an AE86 or something like that. But that's not for a while.

ndubz · 01-02-2009, 07:18 PM

like i said b4 rich, the esprit thing isnt too outrageous for where i will be in a few years. the Veyron is outrageous, but i said post w/e. It would be nice though if ppl would post stuff that is at least somewhat feasable. Im not saying dont be ambitious, but this will get boring fast if everyone just comes on here and says "O I want a veyron with 3million hp". Lets all try to be serious, cuz idk about u all, but id like to see what everyone plans on doing. I serious. And its ok to make outrageous claims, but ur gonna have to be able to show how it would happen, otherwise nobody will take that person seriously. now lets hear what everyone wants to do.

Vr-4-Life · 01-02-2009, 07:23 PM

My comment was ment to be off the wall dude..

hows this.. finish the cinaci body in my vr4 and do my turbos and injectors so i can run low 11's. My goal for that is this year.

and you never know where you will be in a few years

ndubz · 01-02-2009, 07:30 PM

tru that bro, I just didnt want to see this thread go off on a tangent right away, cuz im actually curious about this stuff. As for u and Dpancoast. I like the idea of boosted hondas. Especially boosted VTEC. O the things I would do to an S200 or an NSX. mmmmmmmmmmm

Thats another possibility for me, an NSX. turbo'd or S/c'd the works. Idk, for some cars I like S/c better than turbo.

tretiak · 01-02-2009, 07:43 PM

well lets see i gotta think about this. i would have to say that for a project i would like to find an ae86 gts hatch fix everything thing up strip all paint via media blasting get some jdm goodies for it, do the 3g swap, full suspension setup for autocross or drifting, custom exhaust, and some 16in rota slipstreams, cf hood and some other things that i cant think of at the moment

I think Supercharged would be faster or maybe more fun. I don't know though. I only say that because I see a lot more s/c than turbo'd nsxs'

SovXietday · 01-02-2009, 07:50 PM

600whp+ LS/VTEC in the hatch.
AP1 S2000, 500rwhp, Spoon bodykit w/ hardtop.
00ish NSX TT street monster.

...eh.

DaBombDiggidy · 01-02-2009, 07:54 PM

i already know that ill be buying an elise when i have 30k to play with (it will cost less by then too), then do whatever upgrades i may find necessary (although it doesnt need much!)

jdm free · 01-02-2009, 08:22 PM

i dont have big dreams. would love a k20 teg. 94-97 wit the si-r lip. maybe the azect sides and rear lip. nice suspension set-up, no skunk2 coilovers. and then boost it eventually.

but i plan to pick up a teg or civic coupe within a yr to start building. just a b16 or b18c swapped in, dropped on a nice set of wheels with sways and strut bars

doug · 01-02-2009, 08:24 PM

What I'd like to do hopefully next year some time would be a C5 Z06.. with bolt ons, a tune, and a suspension upgrade, and call it a day.

u definitely dont realize wat it will be like when u graduate. u gotta get a job first, pay ur bills/student loans before u can start playing with a 30-50k dollar car. a project should be bought without a loan otherwise u really are gonna screw urself over in the long run

turbo4g63 · 01-02-2009, 08:36 PM

I would love to have a ls1 FD rx7. An LSX would be the dream motor for that car but it would be wayyyyy out of my price range

doug · 01-02-2009, 08:39 PM

I just crave some sweet V-8 rumble for a weekend driver.. asap.

DownforceTom · 01-02-2009, 08:53 PM

Here's my wierd plan. 88-91 body civic sedan in that hideous baby blue. Flat black paint, but leaving flames in the factory hideous color. SC'ed k20, lowered, black wheels. Done deal for me.
