Soooo many ideas. Even though I can't even find enough time to mow the lawn I own the starting point for about 6 of them.

Oh where to begin:

-v8 swapped Volvo 240 track car (previously discussed 8000rpm 4.8L SBC BECAUSE RACE CAR) -200+whp Firefly Turbo rally-car -500awhp jdyam STi track car -any sort of Merkur or Starion/Conquest making absurd powa! -v8 swapped FD for UTCC

That is the short list I think...

Imagine Javelin's pic, except in black inside and out and tinted. BIL had on in his shop. The owner even had the plate "Stealth" for it.

It looked evil.

Many things. Oddly, the immediate task of building a new front subframe and suspension for the 2002 is just a thing I think about.

The recurring obsessive thought is a mid-engine tube chassis clothed in a VW fastback.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person haunted by the specter of an NA Miata stage rally car. I know I can't afford to stage rally, I know I don't have near the time to compete in more than one or two rallies a year, I know that the only Miata around is so rusty it would likely rattle itself into powder from a season of rallycross, but I can't let go of the idea.

VQ swapping the sentra, what engine combo to put in the camaro, lately its been turbo mopars some, as theres a derelict sundance I drive by daily.

My biggest problem is shopping, im constantly looking for something, even crap I cant afford. I say its as big a part of the hobby as owning one.

Honestly, I stay up late at night building my ultimate garage than anything else.
