To be honest I have been thinking of selling the Tuscan for a while now, I even put it up for sale a few months back. I have now decided to get the engine rebuilt and wait a year.

So with that in mind been thinking of something to replace it with, something quick, fun, good on track and that I am able to sprint without massive bills.

So started to look and the Exige has caught my eye, however going from a lot of Straight six cars back to a 4 pot kinda leaves me empty.

So what about an engine swap something like a flat 4 from a scooby or a Vtec from an S2000.

then I spotted this

Sadly way out of my price range frown so what mad things have you thought of?

Bored at work, was mulling over Corrados and wondered "just how much power can you get out of a G60?".
Cue thoughts of a built 2.0 8v running a huge Eaton M90 'charger.

Every MX-5 I see gets me thinking about a Corvette V8 conversion.

One day......

I want to stick a small (115-120hp) gas-turbine into an MX5.

I know it would actually be slower, but it sounds like a laugh. smile

edit: something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Solar-T62T-32-Gas-turbine-en...

Today I was thinking about putting a chrome wrap on my car, it protects the original paint and looks distinctive.
But as it is a useless waste of money, I bought some nice wheels instead, getting new tyres next week!

Mostly how much I need a Stage 1 V8 landy in my life and another idea involving 2 MX-5's, a Morris Minor and a LSX crate motor and yet another idea involving my credit card and the machine mart catalogue....

Never mind how to pay for all of the above!

Wondering weather you could twin turbo a Passat W8 and get a classic Q car.

Also wondering about a V8 pickup running LPG

I was wondering if I could fit an engine powered gyroscope to a motorbike so I could balance when stationary.

Not much today, but at the start of last week it was an MX5 with a supercharged RX-8 engine, over the week this went through a +150 NOS kit on a Copen, an L200 with a covered rear that contained an LS9, and ended up with a Toyota Aristo drag car. biggrin

Thank god I'm already broke otherwise the OH would kill when I she heard these plans. hehe

Two months ago I nearly convinced her to help me chop in the Scooby for a BMW 840 Sport but she wised up. frown This was to cut my petrol costs as well. wink
