show or go???

Post by **hazardous240** » Mon Jun 02, 2003 10:10 pm

ok im in a delima. heres the situation... im going to get a big check tomorrow and i dont know what to do with it. right now my 95 240 (automatic) has about 151,000 miles on it. i dont know if i should go and make it faster or go for a show look keeping it as fast as it is now. right now i got a hotshot header, injen intake, nology wires, with the amp thingy, and an exhaust with 2.25" piping. i already also have a bodykit. im going to get like about $5,000 (from some accident i was involved in) when i say show i mean air bags, custom upholstry, custom paint job (candy brandy wine) and some nice 18's or 19's. or if i go with speed, then ill probably rebuild the motor (since its automatic) with better pistons and all the other goodies out there and throw on some NOS. I need ur opinion people PLEASE. im stuck in the middle and i cant make up my mind.. any info and comments will be greatly appriciated.

It really depends on you man, you have to look at what is most important to you, only you know.

i want the best of both worlds but thats impossible. i cant have air bags and go fast at the same time. ill kill myself on the freeway!:(

Since I disagree with your definition of show, i say go.

ok.. whats ur definition of show? i need ideas please:D

What is this? Special Ed.? Why the need for attention? Build what you want. Don't tell my you're so mindless that you are incapable of original thought. Part of growing up is learning to think on your own. Damn, if you keep this up, you'll be 30, and not have any identity of your own, and no concept of what looks good to you. Who are you building your car for anyways?? Don't pitch me some B.S. about going on some show circuit either. You've got to do your own thing. Yes, I'm still pissed about your immature "piggies" comment from that other useless thread of yours. Think on your own. Decide what looks good to you. Then go build it and quit with the pipe dreams of air bags and other useless crap.

"piggies", is politically incorrect. Especially when you have LEO's and LEC's as frequent users of this site. Myself as an LEC. But I dont hold the comment against you.

Ditto.

No more appropriate to call LEO's "piggies" than it is to call import drivers "ricers".

You didn't know - Consider yourself educated...

haha full rice ready motor...with more nos than a 454 big block can handle in ur lil 4 banger :-p...yeah man 700 shot!!!

nah but really,i think you should lay off reading those import mags...candy brandywine is the biggest bandwagon paint color EVER now. ever since the import tuner w/ the 240sex article came out...it dosent even look that good

Uh ok.Whats an LEO?

IMHO I'd take the money and use it for an engine swap. With 155k it's only a few years out before your going to either be dumping $$ into it to keep it going, or needing $$ to get a new engine.Swap+springs+tires+track fund:beer

seriously though, it's your decision. asking others about what to do to *your* car is dumb. i try to refrain from it. i will add my 2 cents anyway :pface1. a 240 does not deserve to be pimped out. 2. i'd say rebuild the engine3. swap for a 5spd transmission

IMO make her stock on the outside and badass on the inside. Theres nothing better than the look on the face of a gt mustang owner when you just handed him his azz, with your 4cly. self.

on second thought, i say you just blow all the money on malt liquor and strippers.

Post by **98TURBOKA** » Mon Jun 02, 2003 10:10 pm

I second that, only you need to spread the wealth and hook up some of your 240 homies!!!

I'm totally into the sleeper idea. A basic, almost stock lookin car with some serious torque. You need to beat up your car with a bat and get a 1000 shot of nawwwss. No two of em.
