$10,000 - $15,000 '03 V6 Project. Thoughts?
#11
ya, i personally like the new edge exterior a hair better than the s197. just the original post talking about replacing every part on the v6 to make it new seems a waste to me. Thats why i suggested actually buying something newer, and if fast is what you want then buy something much faster (comparing 05gt to new edge v6 stock for stock) and then add mods to that. Or just save up a couple more thousand and buy a terminator for like 20k.

I like the New edge style better myself, it has nothing to do with the S197 being a pig or anything.
But since the car is paid for, I'd just build it... I mean you could build a car that was reliable and fast, for cheaper than buying a different car and starting to build it.

Matt how much do you want for your car? lol How much have you dumped into your car?
This is what I'm thinking about if I redo my car...
Reasonable daily driver short block made for boost with reliable options to the max (ex: aluminum flywheel).
The heads have stage 3 porting done. Just need valves ( I have 2+ in now ), spring and everything that goes with it.
The intakes are done (if I need them) except for the butterfly valves needing to be removed.
I have a 310lph pump already in although, I'm not sure that it'll be enough when I get done.
The rearend will be completely redone with a true trac. Haven't decided on gears. Maybe stock. Maybe 3.73s.
Carbon fiber driveshaft with loop.
I would love to have a six-speed but I'm not sure if that's even possible to lock-up to a 6. I don't know enough about that area.
MM suspension. Completely redone if I can.
I have almost everything for the M112 kit. I just need minor parts like tubes, belt, plugs.. about $300 worth.
I have new light-weight enkeis, 18" 18X8.5. I'm sure I'll have to go much wider in the back when it gets done but, that CAN wait. I do need tires. I have a hook-up though since I used to work at discount tire.
Some kind of exhaust system.
I will use a new cooling system (radiator). Haven't completely looked into it.
If I have anymoney left lol.. some interior stuff and some carbon fiber (painted probably) exterior parts and a paint job.
I would definitely say that is going to pound $15Gs.
Guys help me out! Give me your thoughts. Does this seem possible. Should I stay N/A? sell the M112 kit? Do a reasonable turbo?
I would like to go for light and quick. At least 400hp or 350hp N/A.
Thoughts please! Thanks guys. I try to get on more but this stupid site seems to constantly shut down.
