    $10k+e30 what would you do?

    I have my ideas, what would you do with 10k and an e30? I only ask that it have 400+ rwhp and be reliable.

            Stock E30. Complete tear down and rebuild with a fully built SR20 or RB26. 5 lug swap Ground Control coilovers. Fresh coat of Silver with a pearl in it. And put it in the garage. The rest would go for a cheap and reliable DD :D

                Haha "the rest". I don't think you realize how little $10k will get you...

                Anybody who's built a nice car will know what I mean. A perfect body and paint is almost $10,000 in itself.

                  Body work, Roll cage, and track time. 10K would get me a lot closer to PRO3 than the current 3-5 year plan.

                  All the spare cash I'd put into the little things, like replacing the windshield with one that doesn't look like it was sandblasted when driving into the sun :roll:

                    Alternate answer:

                    Put 10K into car, immediately sell it for half that. I hear it's tha thang.

                      be happy with e30 and keep money and invest. whatever income interest it earns, i can spend on e30 upgrades.

                            Put 10k into a down payment for a house so i had someplace, not the street, to start dumping the next 10k into the car.

                            But if everything in life was good and the 10k was for the car.

                            I'd s54 it, then with other monies start to work on getting wide enough tires out back to control said 54 power.
