You’d end up with a heavier car than what you’re probably looking for but it’d make more than 240… > > I’ve also seen supercharged GS400s before (older body style) for 10k, but it would be an auto. > > You could be unique and buy an Infiniti M30 and do a VQ swap or LS1 into it? > > Don’t know what your feel is on older cars, but a MkII Supra (pre 86.5) is fairly light. It would be pretty quick with a 7M-GTE in it (after you do the HG, haha). > > E30 w/ M50 or S50 swap, some very nice ones on [BF.com](http://BF.com) but I know you have/had an E36 race car so maybe that’s played out to you… Nice E30s don’t seem to be too “common” though… > > I know these are all project ideas but if you want a car “as-is” then it’s not really going to be rare. Or you could look for someone’s unfinished project for like $9 and spend a couple G making it “your own”… Probably the best compromise as far as budget / making it unique is concerned. > > 12k FD would seem to be a nice choice though… E30’s are a solid option. It would have to be something VERY well done though. I found a minty looking FD in cali for 12k. If only I could give it a test drive and get it back here. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-mike-find-a-daily-driver/246086)._
