Jesus christ, $1400 for an engineless shell?
I think I would have to challenge you on the ultimate college student budgeted DD build, but we will see where you go with this.

The Ultimate Poor College Student's Daily Racecar Build Thread
Yo sup guys.
You might know me from owning a Bronzit E30. Sold that bitch 24hours ago. I bought her for myself as my 17th birthday present, here's when I got her
Looking ugly as sin, gay M20B25, dumb silly soft suspension, worst interior ever.
Less than a year later, she got the Because Racecar treatment.
M50B25, IE3's, Perfect interior, recaros, some other stuff. Basically big transformation, all done on the budget of a college student. NEVER EVER gave me a problem when I swapped the motor, car always started, perfect idle, 0-60 5.9 seconds, 30mpg highway, it was fucking awesome.
But I sold her. Cause I don't want to repaint it cause the paint sucked, and I didn't like the body lines of the car (hood was kind of misalligned, bugged the shit out of me). And I kind of liked working on my car more than driving it.
But I sold her for $4000, I bought her for $800 nearly a year ago, put about $1000 into her. I was a happy boy, and the person who bought it got a great deal cause that was probably the fastest best handling car you can buy for that price.
So I got this bitch about 2 hours ago from ill4noreason
Perfect paint, perfect body lines, real great interior, and no motor ;) just the way I like em.
Picked her up for $1400, so I have $2600 left to fuck around with.
First thing I bought was ground control coilovers, now I'm gonna need new bushings all around, and I have yet to source a motor.
But my goal is to have a daily driver that will destroy on the track, and yet still look stunning. And I will have exactly like that, within my $2600 budget, and once all the parts arrive at my friend's place, we will piece the car together into a daily racecar within a week ;)
So from the people who brought you the fishtank heaterbox and 24valves in 24 hours,
I welcome thee to The College Student's Daily Racecar Build Thread ;)
