Shiftndrift Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 So my dream has always been a candy red Nissan 350z, full bodykit to boot, and now Im old enough and in a good financial state that I can afford to do one, What's the plan? 2006 nissan 350z- £5k (buying off friend) no damage Full bodykit+spoiler+black window tint-£2.5k 19" Black rims+tyres £1k Custom candy red sprayjob --- Now the rest... For the full works I'm on a budget of roughly £15k The above comes to £8.5k, this leaves me £6.5k to spend on performance, looking for some help as to what to get? For "street" use and car shows, (hence the scheme) Any help, thanks. Quote
Beau Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 With a Budget of that you can do plenty. Performance wise, have a search on the forum. There are many sales, recently I think 2 turbo kits which can easily be fitted onto the zed. Im not how this is done, but with the turbos and a good remap you can easily reach the 400 hp stage. and have a chat with him, he has is own track car and may still have his old turbo's up for sale at a good price. I have not done any performance mods so Im not too sure. Good luck with it though. Quote

Shiftndrift Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Hi guys, thanks for the responses, the car is to be built as a project, over a short period of time, It's mainly a showcar, as it's been my dream, I haven't really decided what I want from it, Street scene... (legally) Quote

Beau Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Insurance will hit you hard mate, You best off insuring your self under a second driver and let your dad/mum be the first driver. Or a Trade Plate? Good Luck with that though Quote
Shiftndrift Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Nope, I'm working for the family business of all building essentials, (plumbing, electricals etc) and I have a suitable time period to do this, I'm not paying rent as such as I'm getting working with the family (so yeah, bonus for me) My dad is into motorbikes, so he kind of understands where I'm coming from, and he is helping me fund it.
