A long-lost family member and fellow gearhead leaves you some money in their will. They say you can spend $5000 on a car, any car, and then they leave you a garage and a huge budget to fix it up and modify it to your heart's desire with a few rules.
1. You can swap the engine, but only with an engine that was available in the car at some point in its production year.
2. You must keep the powered wheels the same as they were from factory, no RWD civics
3. It must come in a manual transmission.

for what purpose?
'Thicker sway bars' and 'stiff' coilovers tells me you don't actually know a lot about cars
Buy a 74 Coupe DeVille, put the 500 bigboi and a T56 in it, build the 500 to do 1000 horse and take it to a dragstrip

Porsche 944 whose previous owner forgot to change the second cambelt, so the engine ate itself. Save it by either transplanting a 968 Turbo S-spec drivetrain or put in an Audi inline 5 turbo and 968 6-speed transmission.
I bought this 87' 325 M20 5 speed for $200, so I'd probably drop $2000 on an overhaul and the rest on another Miata.
well, they never came with m30s or m50s so...
Well throw one in there. Nani the fuck?
Read the OP.
OP is retarded.
Welp didn't read the OP properly, guess it's the 968 Turbo S-spec drivetrain then as it should be possible to do with a regular 944 Turbo block.

So no spark plugs?
Also when the fuck did an FD come with the 20b??
>magneto + dizzy ignition
I don't care for OP's stupid restrictions. The 20B came in Mazda Cosmos of the same year so that's good enough.
Spark plugs contain no integrated circuits so they are not electronic, just electrical. Electronic specifically implies the presence of logic circuitry, like an ECU.
I see
What exactly would you gain from that setup? Wikipedia says it’s used in racing engines, but I haven’t the faintest idea why. Seems like it’d make the car even more difficult to operate from a cold start or low RPMs.
You wouldn't gain anything, but I think a 100% mechanical car with no computer controls is just a cool thing. Simple
soiboi cant drive stick
how cute
OP wouldn't let me use an M30, euro S50, or s54 ;(
...
What's wrong with that, other than I can't provide the ideal spring rates/rebound ratio for the coils without doing some serious testing? 2mm thicker than stock sways (and beefed up mountpoints) and somewhat stiff springs/shocks have all but eliminated the body roll in my E30
How to ruin a perfect good thread
>t. op
RX7 FC or a bugeye wrx
oh yeah, forgot about that rule.
an s14 turbo build would be cool
Where do you find an e34 for $5000 or less??
>E30 325i
Where you gonna get one for $5000?
Literally every non convertible one I can find on craigslist is crazy bullshit like $10k
Drift tax now applies to E30
I won't get jack shit for 5k in my country, maybe an old chevette
I buy a W124 300TE wagon pre facelift
Swap in the 5.0 DOHC V8 that was offered on the 124 500E
Supercharge it
Euro light conversion
Borbet Type A wheels or 3 piece AMG monoblocks, color matched to body which would be either black or dark grey/silver
SLS all around not just in back
Dual exhaust
LED interior light conversion
Burl wood trim conversion from 300CE instead of beech wood
Some sort of manual adjustment for the SLS in the cabin, change ride height, stiffness, etc.
SL R129 brakes conversion
Fuck me,
The perfect car. A supercharged V8 Benz wagon in manual.
or you can simply make turbo M104, and easy have 500HP daily
I would buy a crashed burnt out Lamborghini
Nah I like the V8 sound. Dont get me wrong I have a 300CE with an M104 and I love the engine, but I like a big supercharged V8.
If I had to keep an engine available ONLY on the 300TE (not 124 in general) then yes I'd do the 3.2 M104 with a big turbo.
>5000$
Porsche 924 S
>1. You can swap the engine, but only with an engine that was available in the car at some point in its production year.
924 S engine, overbored to 104mm and stroked to 88mm with 944 DOHC head and a turbocharger entirely out of 1980s Porsche parts bin.
Alternatively:
924 S engine modified to make it a V-8 again and a turbocharger.
(924S had the engine from the 944, wich was based on the 928s V-8)
>2. You must keep the powered wheels the same as they were from factory, no RWD civics
No problem, RWD is fine.
>3. It must come in a manual transmission.
1980s slushboxes where shit anyway...
Additional mods:
>new tires
>flat undertray
>rear diffusor
>aerodynamic fiberglass bumper with front splitter and adjustable air intake (simmilar tor the 924 Carrera GTR)
>924 turbo front air inlets
>vents on end of hood to release cooling air
>more narrow drivers seat
>stronger headlights
>partialy covered rear wheels
>bluetooth compatible radio
>speedometer up to 450 km/h
>968 gearbox with LSD
