yea, but a built 4-cyl is going to cost less, and still weigh less, than an all carbon-fibre mini-van. AND still have a lower COG.

besides...who said anything about a 4-cyl. I just said a smaller car.

[kidZim]

so.. like a bmw 325?

small car with a 6cyl?

in fact...that very car would be high on my list (and yes...I know you have one )....although, as far as displacement is concerned....you've only got .3l on my car. lol.

anything with an aluminum block and tranny, and a small, light body.

The only kind of van I've ever seen muscle is a chevy astro and the one I'm thinking of was modified to fit the engine in the back so it could drag race.
Your van would look like crap and like someone said before, I thought your sponsored... We haven't seen any pics of your sponsored cars or anything of the sort, so a van just seems peculiar for someone that's supposedly "sponsored" and has pics of a van and not a car lol.

That's because it's RWD! I like that ford aerostar though. Looks neat!

But if you're going to modify your shag-van with the likes of what the other guys are saying, you could probably have saved up enough money for a brand new Mazda 3 or 6.

I'd say run it and save money. Then once you have money saved for a car you want, buy it, sell the van and use the leftover/saved money for gas and mods.

Well I knew that lol. My Aunt and uncle have a silver one.

My dad wanted one. But we went for an '02 Dakota instead

[young_ricer_14]

well i also have a 87 nissan puckup and an 87 vuick lesabre custom. im gonna sell both of those to get money for a used car. they are both modded and in ecelent condition. one day i got home and someone had taken my hood and my k20 out of my civic, so that was a no go. i have pics of that before i sold it, but idk if anyone wants me to post em. im thinkin i can get an easy 10 grand out of the truck and car, then see my options, if u want me to post the pics of the civic, just tell me the word.

'87s?? yea, sure.

$286 for your villager sounds about right.


I see a thread full of bad ideas....but obviously no-one's going to change your mind....




btw, most Astros are AWD, not just RWD.

i got the nissan up on 24"s and a 475 mopar b-block in it with a cutom exaust, over all its about 4 inches off the ground with the air bags empty. the truck was built up by me and my grandpa, and the buick its in exelent condision, no rust, rips, or dents. we got that on konig racing wheels(idk what type they are), but we got suicide doors and a couple amps and a sub in that. that would be an easy 10 grand right?

doubt it. modified vehicles rarely bring in as much as a good condition stock one.

meybe i could sell the truck to some idiot who likes big rims(basicly every african american teen). on myspace some kid was lookin for one, i might hit em up.

[young_ricer_14]

i didnt mean to be racist or anything, but around here everyone i know is tryin to get the biggest rim on there cars, im just sayin, around here, about 10% of em are white or of caucasian descent. my neighbor actually cut up his car to get 29"s on his 04 impalla.

Donks or High Risers are so f!@#$%^ *** in my opinion, sorry, had to get that off my chest too

[civic_guy]

Giant rims are so useless and impractical it makes me sick to my stomach. 17" rims on cars should be max MAYBE 18"....when you get bigger than that you eat up tires like nobodys business.

[jimmythekid1]

WOW! that is some mod putting a V6 chevy with a small block bell housing pattern into a nissian built mini van. Did you adapt it to the nissian trans or tube the frame and make it rear wheel drive.
