Hey,
After weeks of searching and not finding anything suitable I'm kind of over trying to find the 'prefect' car. I understand on a budget of $5k that's never going to happen. Had a deal collapse at the last minute, and other than that all the other cars I've looked at have turned out to be peices of sh!t.
So right now, all I want is a car, and I've decided not to splash out $5k on an n/a commodore when I am only $2k away from a vlt. I would save up, but right now I need transport to get to uni and work etc.
So yeah, I;m pretty much stuck for ideas but very keen on buying. What I'm thinking I will do is buy a stock n/a vl auto or manual with relatively low km's for around $2-2500k yeah. should look pretty ugly, but i basically need something that will get me from a to b without breaking down all the time. that leaves me with $3k to bank and is a good motivator to start saving. in the meantime I can learn all about the rb30 and maybe enough to do some of the engine mods myself.
so eventually, what I think I will do is either wait till I've saved up enough, sell the commie and buy a vlt (non preferable option), however my preference would be to put an rb25det head with turbo on the rb30 engine block and there we have it, my dream car. By this time is still should look pretty ugly but paint and sh!t like that comes last imo, but that will have to happen as well.
Okay now, a few queries. How much to do the rb25det engine conversion? obvioulsy i'll have to buy a new gearbox etc but how much are we looking at all up, approximately?
is it worth it?
cheers,
adz
