Crazy^2 idea

[Wolfy]

OK here's my crazy f**ked up idea... like it or leave it, I don't give a s**t, but if you like it give me your opinion on if it's possible.

So I'm gonna get $30k for my cadet loan, possibly more by the time I get it. My proposal is definitely weird, and goes something along the lines of this : take my 98, do a 99-00 front end conversion, and swap some 5th gen headlights into it.

What this entails to my knowledge would be to get the 99-00 fenders, hood and bumper, and, if the headlight mount is the same, then all that would be need to be done would be modling some fiberglass onto the hood/fenders/bumper to line up with the 5th gen lights. If the frame is different, drill holes in the headlight mount to match the 5th gen brackets. This would cost a shitload of money, that's where the $30k comes into play. The only thing is, that I don't know if the 5th gen lights would match up with the mounts. That would be the only real problem. If they totally do not, then this idea is f**ked.

Or I could take my $30k, divvy it up, put some into mutual funds and sell Mr. Clean, and buy an '05 (they'll be cheaper by then) Mustang GT coupe.

Or, I could keep the Civic, spend about $3k on a motor swap and some other s**t, and put the rest into mutual funds.

Flame me all you want, it's still not as stupid as the Diamond engine.

 

[rUdGrICk]

yo put some s**t under the hood and save the rest for something more important like a house or somthing.

 

[Wolfy]

I have another couple of years to think about it, so that's a good thing.

I don't care about having that much power, a garden variety B16a will do me just fine... I also wanna keep my car auto, cause I'm a lazy bastard.

don't blow all that money on a car. save it for other stuff. invest it. get a CD at your bank. etc etc

hahah, 1, 1, 1, 1. dead even across the polls


o, dont wanna forget, what hit u in the head so hard that made u think of throwing 92-95 headlights on a 98? dont mean to sound like an ass, but why go down instead of up? u could just do a itr front end, looks same as the 92-95 headlights sorta, but ends up lookin so much better.

or you could just buy a 92-95 coupe and save yourself some time.

yes, i agwee with anfwee

 

[Wolfy]

So the best way to go would be a garden B16 swap and put the rest into investments eh...

 

[Mr. Lin]

Sell your 98 and get a 99-00 Si... where's that among the options?

LOL probably cause I hadn't considered that.

 

[Mr. Lin]

Figured as much... I thought USAFA students are supposed to bright and adept

Eh, not when it comes to money. most people blow it all on a brand new car, and have nothing left at all.

I will pwn you in Chemistry though. 8)

sounds like the best route but not auto... torque converters get pricey

 

[Mr. Lin]

you'd think so, eh?






























































yeah, you're prolly right.

 

[okeanos8]

i think u should go w/ that or get a 99--00 si......

 

[ice11honda]

Throw 20 k into a cd at your bank. Then take that 10 k and go put that down on a new 05 RSX typeS. Those cars are so f**king bad.

 

[ner0x]

yeah forreal, dont blow 30k on a civic..

 

[Wolfy]

I wasn't planning on putting the entire $30k on it... but now that ice mentioned it, I might look into that RSX-S...
