CD_rollaman Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 This is inspired by the other topic. but without the limits. What would you do to your rolla if you had the cash? No limits on what you spent it on. I would start with a good KE70 wagon base. I would then proceed to cut the floor including wheel arches etc out of the boot of a sedan, and weld it into the wagon. This would enable me to fit coilovers all round. While I'm at this stage, I would fully stitch weld the entire car. Then I would fit up a fully rebuilt, slightly worked 3S-GTE, bigger turbo, Nice exhaust. Fit a tough 5 speed (not sure what would fit). Fit a mechanical LSD to a modded Borg warner diff (cheaper than other options), giving me a disc rear as well. Upgrade front brakes. Nolthane all round, thicker front sway bar, tower brace as well. Watts link on the rear, with thicker swaybar as well. Give the car a full respray. I would get some jelly beans, or Watanabes. Why a wagon you may ask? In my oppinion Wagons look damn cool :D Quote

ancullen Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 KE25 with custom carbonfibre panels to look a bit like a TE27, but fatter and better. Would probably also have a custom alloy chassis made up - why not, there's no budget 380hp 4.6L Lexus V8 (from new LS460) - that or wait for the 5.0L version - either way I'd have custom bits made to tune the f@$k out of the thing 500+hp naturally aspirated 6-speed manual transmission (custom made) Carbon fibre driveshaft Custom made diff/axle with LSD centre & custom ratio Custom coilover suspension 15/16 inch Minilites - the proper magnesium ones, about 8-inch wide ones :D Possibly some 10-inch wide versions for the rear. Completely custom interior, keeping lightweight in mind, but making it comfortable enough to drive every day. If all went to plan (and it would, because I'd be paying people to make sure it did), I'd end up with a wicked little car that slightly resembles a TE27, weighs less than 700kgs, and has 650+hp (with the 5.0L V8 option). People would look at it and go "What the F%#K is that?" and then I'd stomp the loud pedal and giggle to myself as I blow Ferrari's away. I figure, if you've got no budget, then you may as well take advantage of it. Why having something someone else could copy when you could have something COMPLETELY original and customized to your personal tastes. Quote
coln72 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Start with a KE26, add carbon panels (bonnet, guards, tailgate, roof), full cage, 4agze fitted with both supercharger and big assed turbo. Use a six speed transaxle to keep the weight out of the nose. Have it sitting nice and low on custom made double wishbone front suspension with an independant rear end as well. As big a brakes as I could get squeezed into 15" rims (hell have them custom made to suit). Have the thing painted in a custom magenta pearl with a grey interior. Replace the guages with a MOTEC digital display. Have a custom aircon made to suit (I'm getting old and I like my comforts). Quote
