You can build a fast car for $30,000.

Buy an old shell like an early 80's Corolla. Swap in a newer engine that punches out 300-400hp, then scour e-Bay and Craigslist for second hand parts like coilovers, wheels, etc.

People make their own cars all the time, bro.

>>17468663
>$30,000
Did you accidentally add an extra zero?

>>17468663
The upkeep on that sounds expensive.

define fast

because a $3,000 Civic with a few simple mods can destroy most cars

>>17468663

>tfw no tools
>tfw a mechanical retard

>>17468677
care to share those few simple mods?

If you can't afford a fast car then you can't really afford a car.

>>17468682

2jz swap, bodykit, remove backseats, give it an S200 transmission, catback exhaust, boom a few """""""simple""""" mods and you're good

Save $100 every month till you have 5k then buy a mustang or something dude

No. $30,000 would build a very decent car, assuming OP needs to hire out for some of the work. Painting is almost always something none of us can do on our own (if we don't want it to look like shit), so you can budget $2,000-4,000 for a proper strip and paint of any shell (or less if you want a nigger-tier paint job from Maaco).

Add to these costs the replacement of any worn parts like control arms, bearings, u-joints, etc., as well as re-fabricating any parts that are salvageable (i.e. mounts), and adding new stuff for safety (i.e. tear proof fuel cells). Then budget for inspection and licensing costs (these vary from one country to another, and state by state). Add new tires to that (minimum $1,000 for good tires, which you will buy if you want a "fast car", otherwise you've just wasted tons of money).

If you think you could do it for way less than $30K, all the power to you. But keep in mind you're not a professional painter, welder, mechanic, etc.

>>17468695

woahh!!!

you really are fast!!!!!!

i'll keep my distance almighty senpai

>>17468679

>no tools

This is another really good point, and something that can add to costs. Just setting yourself up with proper air tools (or cordless stuff, which ultimately runs you just as much money), hand tools, and supporting items like engine lifts can run you $3-4,000.

What kind of paint job makes it the fastest? I bet flames.

>>17468741

White.

>>17468713
>wants a fast car cheap
>worried about paint

even if you needed a shop to do everything you wouldnt be spending close to 30k for something lik power adder engine rebuild clutch and some tires

>>17468663
Nigga you buy a fast car for 30k

Get into bikes then
Am 18k new bike is faster than 99.99%of stuff on the street and there's a good chance it'll put you out your misery at some point

How fast is fast, really? How quick do you need to be? Camaros and Mustangs are cheap as fuck used. Are those fast enough?

>buy $500 shitbox
>buy the shitty 300 piece tool set from harbor freight for $29.98 + tax
>buy some shitty HF jackstands while your at it
>fix said shitty car using parts found at junkyards and the cheap section of rockauto using youtube, service manual, trial and error, prayer, etc to learn how
>congrats, you now know how to fix cars, sell the $500 shitbox that now runs for $1500 and buy something like a shitty miata to slowly build up

>>17468750

>buy a fast car for 30K

Really? Please show me something that isn't a used Porsche with 101 problems.

Because anything less is not fast, it's quick.

>he thinks a used Mustang GT is fast

kek

>>17468763

So why not buy some secondhand "quick" car and make it faster than said Porsche? I'm not following your logic.

>>17468763
You can buy a late C6 for that much, which is already pretty fast
It's up to you how you want to add power after that

buy a cadillac vsport....

>>17468652

Just buy a motorcycle and do some track days. You can get a track ready R6 for 3 grand, gear and admission for another grand.

>>17468741

listen, my brother in law was born to a dirt poor family with no dad and just last year at age 41 bought a brand new v12 vanquish. it takes a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck but it can be done

>>17468652
we all started somewhere, drove a fucking toyota econobox for years before i could afford something better.

you have to start somewhere and you have to put the work in to get the result

a guy is not going to throw you the keys to his ferrari and say "it's yours" you get out what you put into this hobby.
