Okay, so importing a R24 won't be a project, and the Turbo S just looks cooler, thats why i'd get one....

But anyone who knows me knows which car i would love to play with....

That my friends would be a TVR Speed 12.

But they are so hard to find (few built), so I'd stick to a Cerbera Speed 6, and twin tubo the setup, maybe with Borbet type Es.

I just want a TVR...

You're going to have to sell a lot more xenon to ever afford one.

I'd turbo an exige... i want a light, fun, direct car that I can light up in any gear

I still want to build a turbo s50 318ti, I absolutely love 'tis... this summer, the e30 is going bye bye in favor of the dream. 8k for the e30, should start me off with a decent shell and enough to buy a 32Xi dash

To me the ultimate road fun project car is the

Rush car, i.e it´s like a Caterham 7 but it has twin haybusa engines mated to a custom 6speed box, 500kg (900lbs) 300hp 6speed amazement,

0-60 on 225tires is 3,2

[schnitzer teil-jäger]

ok i am getting older so ... after the track/cross toy is done.

a 1991Schnitzer s5s. with the schnitzer flairs and 18*10 in the front and 18*12 in the rear. but instead of the 3.7 270hp schnitzer engine a TCD turbo 3.5 with 450hp. This will become my daily driver and the e30 4 door will go away.

Funny you mention that, how much does one really go for? I saw a Ferarri F50 on ebay for 725,000 dollars, so i was thinkin that the TVR Speed 12 would prolly be a bit less.

725,000 financed over 50 years not including innterest is still 14K a month. Jeez!!!!

If i contribute enough, maybe i'll take a loan out against my 401K, since i would only be paying interest to myself.

I think they're in that range.


I was just joking around, glad I didn't offend anyone.

my Dream Project would be to take an e30 m3 in normal condition, strip it all down, and rebuild it into a Gruppe A DTM M3. Strip the paint, and paint it like Steve Soper's car. It would take a ton of money, and a ton of time finding all the parts, but well worth it.

I'd say quite a few people missed the point of this post, or dont understand the concept behind a 'project car'. A ridiculously fast car, with beautiful aesthetics is NOT a project car: R34 GT-R, Caterham, current model Porsche etc.
A project car is one that shows potential, can often be purchased cheaply, and will most likely be completely transformed: GTi, old Bimmers, old Porsches etc. I've seen quite a few nice project cars, such as a 1963 Ford that was stripped and sprayed in its original colour, completely reupholstered, and lovingly restored, and on the other end of the scale, a 91 Civic hatch with a turbo, FMIC, huge wastegate, custom interior and big rims.
Personally I'd choose a Pulsar GTiR (Sunny in UK I think) as its a good platform (AWD turbo) to build a bruiser, whilst working on a solution for the ugly aesthetics. 2002's appear to be decent project cars also

For a real Project car I want to find a Euro spec e30 323i that isn't rusted away.

[Nate325ic]

I'd build up a square tail 2002 with the turbo flares and airdam and euro bumpers, color would be inka orange, drop a built 2.5L S14 in, ground control suspension. wheels would be 15X8 or 15X8.5 (forget what you can shove under there) BBS RS wheels, interior would be black recaro
