>>13958148
itbs, 180 degree headers, better cam, 5-10k in coilovers, and modern rubber and you got a good looking, handling and sounding all rounder for not a lot of money with decent power, probably 450hp.
sure it's a lot to put in an old vette but if you have a vision of what you want in terms of performance it's a great base to start from.

Badass maybe, fast not sure.

Remember, it's a grandpamobile stock, meaning comfy therefore boat-like suspensions, it's not a featherweight, and potentially bad braking and loose steering.

Yet they have great engines (1jz ?) and are solid RWD platforms.

I just need to visualize, then actualize fully.
Or rob a bank.

I wish I could get around to putting the concept I have for this on paper, but I'm so god damn lethargic.

On paper? or in metal?

>>13955267
Every car has potential.It's just a matter of if you have the talent, knowledge, and foresight to see it.
>>
>>13959983
Well both eventually, hopefully.
I want to mock up the design, but I'm not that great an artist, so that would take me some time.
Then I need to come up with an actual plan. The details of what I'll need to do, parts, modifications, etc. But the lack of money makes me not want to do this.

And at some point put all this shit together.

You could MAYBE fit a small block chevy and transmission in there sideways. There is a reason they made the vr6 instead of making a v6 engine. A vr6 swap or turbo awd golf 1 has a lot of potential but it's not the ideal sports car chassis.
>>
>>13960005
fuck you're sideways
>>
>>13960005
Maybe, probably.
Like I said, I'm too lazy to really into any detail with anything.
I have a general idea of what I want, but haven't gone any further than that. My plan was to do that when I actually get into anything design wise.

>>13960023
That's a rover v8, not a step up from the vr6 even and it required custom modification of the subframe. That thing is a mini block

No they aren't. Not even close.
The second generation LJ you've just posted and the LC in the first reply itt are the same generation, of which both had an XU-1 variant of the GTR, where as the LJ was a face of the third generation LH.

Nup. LH and LX both had SLR (5000 if equipped with a 308) sports models (similar to the GTR in the previous shape), where the LH had the L34 homologation options on top of the SLR, the LX was indeed the A9X options.
