I can't afford a Local Motors Rally Fighter. Would it be a horrible idea to buy a used Rx8, swap in an LS3, lift it, and throw on some Off-road tires? Anyone else have pipe-dream builds?
It'll cost twice as much as you think it will and take 3 times as long
Just buy a Neon SRT4 and spend the rest of the money at a professional driving school
Because driver skill > the the car you're driving
Just ask the rich chinese kids at my local track getting passed by Miatas and Civics in their Ferraris

Yes thats a horrible idea.
Most LS swaps are horrible ideas anyway.

Good luck finding an unmolested SRT-4.

I don't want a track car. I want something to Off-road in that isn't a truck or SUV. I live in the Southern California desert so there are plenty of areas around here.

Any cheapish econobox with inexpensive and plentiful aftermarket really
So a Civic or Integra or something would be the perfect choice I guess

Which is why it's a "horrible ideas thread", can you read?
>>17799808
More like no fucking logic at all
>>17799809
that's the point of the thread you fucking retard
>>17799859
The point of the threat is to be a moron? How is that any different from any other thread on this board?
Why don't you just buy an actual off road vehicle like a Tomcat?
I really want to RB26 swap my miata for some reason
>>17799782
fuck off
