This. Most of which are just LS swaps with a supercharger/turbo.

I think the prices on these are going up. Hopefully we can get the Japanese ones as well.

An Aston Martin something with the 6 L V12 would be ideal but the Jag's depreciation seems pretty bad so here's hoping

Good taste. Vantages can be had for cheap, but only the v8s. Last gen V12 Rapides can be had for around the 50-130k range depending on mileage.

964 Longhood Widebody, aka the Poor Man's Singer Special

I just want a clean Mazda RX8 2011.

I can't buy one in good faith because I KNOW that EVERY SINGLE used RX8 I potentially buy will need its full engine replaced and I don't even know if I'll get a reliable engine.

It seems I might as well buy a 2006 model with no engine for 1k

>>15862682
Might as well, Renesis a shit.
Swap a 13B in.

>>15862710

How much do you think that would go for?
Maybe in the 3500-4000 range hopefully?

>>15859401
>Posts a car that's actually attainable
Lol anon

>>15862729
Unless you only want a rotary, there are some seriously good engines for that chassis. Ls, jap straight sixes, ecoboost/ms3 swap to keep it in the family, turbo i4s. Fuck it, pick up an integra type r engine and throw that in there

>>15862729
Definitely. Try to buy as new as you can, read Mazda's handbook for the car it comes from (presumably http://www.wright-here.net/files/manuals/1994%20RX-7%20FSM/94C_Engine.pdf) and read up on plenty of RX8 conversion threads (and videos too).

Would rather the grand sport but it doesn't come with the targa top. Had a C4 when I was younger with the targa and it was amazing. Still upset that it got totaled out by a fucking soccer mom on her cellphone back in 04

>>15862772
That's cool to know and I'll keep it in mind, but really the rotary is what makes the RX series special. If I wanted another engine, there'd be no reason not to get another car.

>>15862773
So I guess these conversions aren't that uncommon.
Correct me if I'm wrong, if you would:
1. If I go to a Mazda dealership, I could get a new replacement Renesis
2. They probably wouldn't sell me an RX7 engine, and I'd most likely have to buy from private sellers
3. For installing an Renesis, Mazda would probably do it
4. For installing an Rx7 engine, I might have to do it myself / pay some di khead mechanic out the ass
5. That 3500 or 4000 $ would likely be just for the engine - installing it would probably cost twice as much

I don't pretend, I'm probably horribly wrong on some of these, but I just had to check; I like cars, but I'm completely fucking ignorant.

>>15862879
It's fast around a corner

>>15862989
Mazda won't install a non-stock engine in for you, no.
That is the price for an engine, ideally you should do it yourself for free anyway since it's an easy swap (rotary for rotary, but with a turbo). A mechanic would probably charge out the ass for labour, but there's no harm in ringing around and getting quotes to see how much it would actually cost you in your area.

>>15862989
I get why you want the triangle life. I really like the rx8 chassis and how it's a 4 door miata with suicide doors. Only thing I would change is the driveline. Rotaries are awesome, but I would prefer something more practical with less maintenence. If I had the cash, an LS would probably go into one. If I really gave no fucks, then maybe drop a z06 supercharged one in.

I've been keeping my eyes on the prices of these too. Do you reckon maintenance will be an issue what with Saab not existing anymore or is the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia similar enough for parts to be interchangable?

>>15863442

I got a question bros, I have a 2016 WRX and I love my car, its fun. I like turbos, what would be the next reasonable step up in terms of performance. Must be a turbo, and must not be 50 grand or something crazy.

Thoughts?

Pic is my current car.

>>15863515

Does no one build a reasonably priced v6 turbo? I wish the WRX had a little more displacement.

because people were importing cheaper Mercs from overseas and they didn't want that shit and this law just happened to be brought up at that time so they did that.

Oh nice, that sounds interesting.

I read about people claiming to get 400whp out of a stock FA motor in WRX, but i feel like that would be on the verge of blowing up at any moment, even if i got forged internals first.
