Since I stopped racing I'm going to start on a new project , A show car. But I dont know what I want so I need your help.

Just Vote fo a car then post why.

I've got $20,000 to spend on the car and $5000 on upgrades.
 
an acura integra. I think if u put jdm headlight conversion on it, there sweet!

sorry voted toyota on accident.
 
BMW (naturally). A first-gen M3 is simply a factory-built hotrod, no question. Problem is, it costs a bit to keep it running. And for the last month or so, I've been looking off and on in the classifieds in the News for any mention of a first-gen M3 for sale, so it may be hard to find.

Tough call, then. Honda Acura sucks, by the way!
 
why a show car?

why not get an old CRX, dump a Prelude engine, add turbo and Nitrous(not a necessity) and run 11s on small slicks?

:rolleyes:
 
lol, what? Bad-mouthed wanker my hole!
 
i vote a honda civic cr-x,very nice cars......

or an eagle talon (i got one ;) )

OR Dodge neon ;)
 
Well It's gotta be a newer car so the 55 or 57 is out. Also I dont want a CRX I'm not going to race. I just want a killer show car nothing else. I dont plan on any performane upgrades just dress up upgrades.

BMW E34 525i 92 newer
 
Can you show me some pics of show BMW's?
 
dtm style body kits are always nice ;)
 
i suggest a eagle talon.........

1996,VERY nice cars,ill give you a pic of mine in a bit
 
wait not a bit,i need to borrow my friends digital camera
 
What's Nissian?
 
Nissan.
I believe you should do a vintage mustang, or a small-block in a TR-6. The show judges are seeing so much rice. (Rice is nice, by the way) that to stand out you need to do something they haven't seen, or seen lately.
You might even be able to lay your hands on a early 911 or a 944 Porsche.

In fact, if you scour the classifieds, you can score a good, well-kept 944 for under 10 G's.
Good luck on the car whatever you pick.:D
 
Ya i want to do something the judges haven't seen. I would like awards, but most off all i want people to say "Nice car". BMW sounds good but i dont know if i can afford it. Also I don't know of to many stylin mods for the BMW. The Porsche sounds good also but once again, i don't know of to many mods.

Its Nissan, sorry i was in a hurry when i typed it out.
 
BTW i liked those sites
 
Mazda...get an RX-7 and fix it up...or find an MP3 an you would have something cool too....and I can help out...
 
"Find" is the keyword as far as the MP3 goes...
 
a week ago i senn a (i dunno what year) mustang cobra (looked like a 69) it was VERY nice and 3,000 dollars!!!!!!!!!

it was gone the next day :(
 
An RX-7 would be nice but to many people have them at shows. I want something that will make the judges go "WOW".
 
Okay, Buick LeSabre. God knows the judges would go "wow..."
 
No the judges would laugh there asses off. Then give a an award for the craziest mother ****** there.
 
Well, if you want something that no one else has, don't get a Honda. Get a 323 GTX...
 
'Nother idea. If you can find one... BMW 6-series coupe. They are great looking and Alpina (a BMW Tuner) did some cool stuff with them back in the late '80s, but the design is timeless.
In fact, I'm almost sure that Ford copied the profile of the 635 on the late model T-bird. But the Bimmer is still much better looking.
 
Yeah the sixes were extremely nice. I hear that Bangle's designing a new one, too. One hot car, that. I wonder what an M6 costs...
