The more I look at it, the more I want it...
Discussion
For a while I've been trying to decide what I want as my own 'super car' (only custom race cars apply here).
I don't know, I just keep coming back to the Ultima. I think it's that ass. I've heard one can be put together for say 60k, which just within my budget.
It would be a daily driver. I've asked about rear vision and that was fine, but how about reverse parking, and paying at the toll booth (do you simply open the door, stand up and throw the money in?). This wouldn't be a problem at parking stations, as I can drive right under the boom gate
I need my music, and was wondering what sort of hifi system could you throw in. I'd imagine not much
Finally, I've seen a 'thing' on the windows of some pics. Are you able to put a hatch (window opening or whatever you want to call it) on the window? Air con to me smells and feels like tinned air.
Doc, how's the insurance in Aus?

GTRmannen, I know what I want, and that's an extreme street car. I doesn't bother me that it won't have the creature comforts of a luxury sedan.
My Qs were mainly directed to how easy it is to cope with day to day (will be daily driver).
As to reverse parking, I'm sure that'd be fine. For the tolls, I'll open my door. For the hifi, I guess I can put in an mp3 system with a few speakers. Obviously will only be a small system, but I'm sure it can be done.
Like I said, creature comforts don't really matter much, my daily ride right now is a bike.
I don't think I'll be able to insure it. Not at my age.
Doc, is that figure $AU or $US?
Would be a GTR.

Well I'm expecting to not be able to get insurance. Not worried about theft or crashing into anything, just if some d!ck reverses into it and does a runner. Waiting for the body parts to be shipped here would actually be more of a pain in the ass than if I had to pay for it. I guess that answers whether I really need full comp insurance.
Um, 60k was the US figure, since most members on this forum can relate to US dollars!!!
The parts alone cost something like 45k AU, so I wouldn't think it'd be built, engined and sprayed for 15k
90k (AU$) would be built and sprayed, with a relatively stock engine.
If I was spending 60k AU, I'd spend it on an NSX. They have to be the best bargin at the moment.

Well that's why I'm not gettin one now, I don't really know how much it'll cost. Americans are lucky when it comes to cars, they're so cheap over there. Here, you'd be lucky to see a diablo under 300k (200k US).
I wasn't really factoring in how much more expensive it would be in Aus compared to the states, but then again I'm only looking at the moment.
