Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - HAULN-SS - 04-18-2014
Edit: NVM. Missed the fine print - phaeton in lynchburg for <10 grand..but "making a noise"
Are these really this cheap?
Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - SlimKlim - 04-18-2014
Yeah. It's a 10+ year old dressed-down Bentley that no one wanted in the first place. 7-series and S-classes of the same vintage aren't going for much more than that.
I just read this morning they are allegedly bringing it back in 2018-2019. I don't think the car was a failure, I think the marketing and pricing was a failure. Now that other "budget" luxury cars like the Equuis/Genesis Sedan and K900 have proven that there is a niche market that wants luxurious features but could give a rats ass about the badge on the hood, the VW stands a pretty good chance. They just can't price it like an A8 and expect people to buy the lesser brand for the same amount of money, it needs to start in the low 60s so it's poised to battle directly against the Koreans.

Hey Subaru d00dz, this is kinda cool:

$40k-invested, 5-speed swapped HPDE toy that "runs with Porsche 964's, BMW E36 M3's". $12k BIN. His brain-damage is your financial win!

Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - JPolen01 - 04-22-2014
The dash is weird? How about those fucking windows?
Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - CaptainHenreh - 04-22-2014
I had one of these. White one. Neat car. Heavy as hell.
Worth about 5.5 as she sits. Those brakes will literally catch fire with any kind of hustle around a racetrack. If you wanted a subaru track car spend 6 grand on the nicest bugeye you can find and 6 grand modding it. It'll be faster and more reliable in every respect.

that SVX is quite possibly one of the worst cars ever posted in this thread.

That and the '75 911 Targa with a swapped turbo-rotary that I posted:
http://mmsports.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7402&p=160086&hilit=rotary+targa#p160086
And the basketcase LS swapped FD recently. I may need to depart this thread for a while and think on my sins.

i wouldn't mind dropping that EG33 flat 6 into my RS. super cool, but the do not want factor outweighs this heavily

Ha...ha....hahahhahahhahhahahahahaahah Total conversion cost - $8-9,0000.
Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - navin - 05-09-2014
dang, stupid kmiata site is blocked at work.
Someone copy/paste the price breakdown on parts for a brotha.
Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - Kaan - 05-09-2014
i emailed it to you... they have TBD on some stuff... still lots of "custom" work to do.
Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - Goodspeed - 05-09-2014
It's an awesome idea though, even at $8-9k. They can make rock-solid n/a horsepower numbers (230-250whp +) that you'd need forced induction to get to on the BP. And it costs an arm and a leg (more than 9k, for sure) to build a dead-reliable forced induction track Miata* - you're looking at 3k+ for a built longblock, nice manifold with inconel studs and locking hardware (~$1k), downpipe bracing, tons of cooling/ducting, etc etc etc. It gets into the $15-20k territory really quick, which is butting up against LS swap territory.
*excluding the Rotrex s/c kits, which are pretty nifty - extremely efficient, cool running, self contained oiling, bolt-on in an afternoon simple. I'd build one of those for a track Miata unless I felt I really needed another 3k rpm in which case I'd go K series.

b00st + track car == headaches (or so it seems). Reliable NA power seems like the easy button, but then again I don't know anything about K-swaps.

Only speaking from trolling miata forums, every serious track guy is salivating for the k-swap, but everyone tracking with a rotrex has been extremely reliable. Probably from the simplicity and gradual torque onset not breaking stuff. (fast) Guys with turbos running allofit tend to be broken all of the time.
Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - Kaan - 05-09-2014
just dont rev them past 9k without oil pump work... they love open exhausts and bolt ons.
