    Any choice, what would you do?

    If you had any choice of car, money not an option, what would it be? Give us details. Make, model, color, what would you do to it?

    well, i already bought one of the cars on my "must have before i die" list...see my sig.

    if i had all the money in the world? i'd give it a good repaint, repair the broken/very worn interior bits (carpet needs replacing, among other things), get the motor and tranny out of a V5 STi, and get it all swapped up.

    i'd also love to find a 22B widebody kit that isn't fiberglass, but at the moment they don't exist.

    big brake kit (and bigger wheels to accommodate) would follow, as well as a replacement exhaust. my muffler rusted out last year, so i'm stuck with a peashooter for the time being.

    I love my corolla. If I had the money, I would sink it right back into it. I want it white with some flat black motegi trak lites. Convert it to rear wheel drive. Carbon fiber hood, roof and trunk. Authentic Tom's kit, D2 front brake kit. Interior would need to be completely redone. I'm not realy into anything new and flashy. Just want something fun to drive and looks good. My baby and a chunk of change to put into it and I would be happy.

    ^ Same. I would probably have the AE82 into a car that can keep up with the b/k honda group. The 10th gen would be a nice sleeper daily.

    AE82 wishlist:
    4AGZE rebuilt for around 20psi - hoping tweek can make it happen w/AC & ps-
    6speed tranny w/lsd
    clutch that can handle the power
    HKS kit all the way
    whiteline suspension - from coils, swaybars, etc. ~ they seem to make everything i would need
    red front buckets and black leather rear seats with red TRD's somewhere
    FX-16 gauge cluster
    FX-16 skirts ~ still looking for a nice looking lip
    custom box for my 12" p3 (ill split the 2 and put one on the 10th gen)
    infinity rear 5" and 3" front speakers
    amp for my high's and a more powerful one for my p3's
    lightweight wheels probably 14" with stickier tires
    repaint with same color & same layout - red/black
    trdforums, h-iforums, in the rear left and right windows
    HKS, whiteline, and possibly phoenix tuning's decal at the rear so they know what hit em.
    Custom plate: LILREDAE or AresAE82 or REDAE82 (idk if 8 is max or not)

    10th gen wishlist:
    engine prep for 15psi
    i want v-mout ic-cooling if it fits o_O
    again HKS kit
    lowered on coils
    BBS wheels ~ 16s or 17s. 18's sound too big
    leather seats please :D
    XRS look-a-like kit ~ spoiler, skirts, front
    JDM front grille
    HIDs and HID foggs
    soundproofing like vamp's
    infinity component up front ~ w/oem look-a-like tweeters in the side mirror area
    infinity 6x9 high/mid rear
    infinity amp for high's
    RF p3 12 w/ RF amp (p3 from the AE82)
    custom sub box matching car's color
    soundproofing of course
    trdforums, h-iforums, in the rear left and right windows
    HKS and whatever suspension brand I use and possibly whoever does the engine mods so that they would know what hit 'em


    GTR specV and Corvette ZR1 Stock please
    Dodge SRT-10 lowered (but not dump'd) to haul stuff with. IMHO everyone needs a truck, or at least has a friend or family with one.


    Oh wait, you said "Car" damn, I think I went too much...

    if you want a truck for hauling, just get a plain truck and don't lower it. remember that adding a load will lower the bed further, and it'll end up not riding right (from what i've read, anyway).


    agree that everyone needs a truck, though. i'd love to get a good flatbed trailer for the Boy's...for hauling cars, motorcycles, etc.

    glad the majority here feel like i do... i'd put a 3sge with itb's in my rolla.. (i love n/a) and get it as good as i want it to still keep it a daily drive but with the punch when i need it... (RWD option is interesting choice... hmm) redo the entire enterior so it looks like one of the expensive cars lol ) get myself some kick ass suspension like Tein or something.. and get myself a set of Volk TE37's (the black ones with the red lip) fix up my car with a new paint job... and fix up the body.. that about it

    and add some sound

    I guess I should keep up with the parts I use to rebuildy my 4agze. If you don't want to twincharge it, you can also put the sc14 from the previa.

    does yours have ac/ps?

    If I were to go autocross/time attack some bigger S/C would be for me. But here in Texas, there are too many straight aways to ignore.

    Mine has ac and ps. Doc made custom lines to make the both work. They say that with the sc14 and the bluetop cams that a 4agze will put down 230 hp. The person didn't say if it was at the wheels or not. Considering stock, my 4agze put down 153 to the wheels I'm not sure if the sc14 and some blue top cams could take it up almost 80 whp or not. Even if that is at the crank, it would still be really quick. If you do want to twincharge a 4agze, Doc should have everything figured out by the time you would be ready to do it. He is pretty sure he has it figured out now but I am trying to get money together to find out.

    I think the delorean is hideous. Maybe in 1985 it was sweet but it isn't an attractive vehicle. A 2jz would make it quick but I would have picked a better donor vehicle.

    I would go with a ferrari GTO and would not touch it aside for probably a stereo or a few modern electrical upgrades.

    I'm a little more Old School.

    I'd have a red 1974 DeTomaso Pantera. Just a couple thousand were sold in the U.S. out of Lincoln Mercury dealerships. The Pantera was an Italian sportscar designed by Pinafarina and outfitted with Detroit Iron for a motor: A Ford 351 c.u. Cleveland V8.

    If I had a choice of having one car and only one car: BMW E46 M3 SMG w/ Competition Package.

    It will be left stock.
