Just buy a v8.....

tis the most obvious thing to do, but after having my dads blown vy r8 written off ( honestly wasnt my fault ) im not allowed hence me buying this!

so anything other than a v8? just asking your opinion really..

Depends how far you want to take it really... You're getting into more serious money from there up, so most people (unless it's a project car that lives in the shed) sell off and get something better, rather than pour money into an older daily.

if you are keeping it for a while, heads, cam, kit the auto with a stall but where do you draw the line, you are better off working out a budget then getting the best options that the budget allows, if money in no option then the sky's the limit. Sonner or later, the top end gonna need a beefy bottom end built too.

i do believe that im going to have the car for a further maybe 2 3 years.. and also was curious as to how much id be looking at if i decide to go down that line too.

Personally i think the first thing you should do is a manual conversion.

After that...Well if you've got money to burn, you have a few options... Or f*** it, why not combine them all :thumbsup:
1. V8
2. Cam & Heads
3. Blower/Sucker

It's a pretty nice way to spend $15k+... But if you're only expecting to keep it for another 2 or 3 years... It's up to you really.
How old are you? We all obviously like working on our cars... But i don't intend to have a serious project car until I'm settled somewhere and have the funds to do it properly. That could take as long as 10 years, maybe more.
