Looking to buy a project car once funds allow for it.
I'm thinking a grungy/grimy cyberpunk - think: "in the grim dark future, a gallon of dinojuice costs $87-$8700". Strip the out interior, remove AC and most other creature comforts. "High tech" shit: aftermarket HUD, aftermarket digital gauges, giant tablet for a navigation/headunit, radar jammers etc, loads of LEDs. I'm thinking: RWD/AWD, preferably 2-door sedan, preferably MT, something which isn't a pain to SC/TC Budget: ? (BUDGET) Suggestions? inb4: "Prius", "Nissan LEAF" |

Fiero with a body kit. It would really nail the whole cyberpunk theme of "It's a piece of shit, but at least it's my piece of shit."

I have always wanted to take a late 70's to early 80's 911 and abandon everything that the purists say a Porsche should be. Maybe put an STI motor in it.

Quoted: Like a Tacoma? View Quote Man I’d love a first gen Taco. Solid axle on 35s but keep the amount of lift needed as low as possible but with good flex — so lots of tasteful fender trimming. Keep the bed useful too. Rebuild the motor and then supercharge it. Keep it streetable and clean enough to valet park at nice restaurant. |

is this your way of "coming out", op? cyberpunk is about as gay as it gets.

I can build the spring lift components myself after looking at the pictures. I'd rather find spindles. |

View Quote With a billion dollar powerball you could buy a Lamborghini and have a Fiero body kit made for it so you could daily drive a Fiero that is still under factory warranty. |

I have one word for you: Mini Freakin' Cooper!
boom! You're welcome. |

Do you want a unique build? How about a 1978 Mustang?
Swap in a Coyote and a 5 speed. Then do the other stuff you mentioned. |

Quoted: Starion/Conquest MR2/MR-S SVX 924 944 P1800 or any shooting brake Pop up headlights are a big win for cyberpunk, IMO, which leads to the real answer (and you knew it): Miata. http://speedhunters-wp-production.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/14183116/Chris_Watson_MX5_Speedhunters_6818-1200x800.jpg View Quote @SmartDrug The Miata build is on youtube - pretty neat. |
