REKIII Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I told my wife I was going to buy a sensible 4 door family sedan. Came home with my M5. She didn't buy it, but couldn't argue the 4 doors. People get a kick out of the kids seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 When I bought my shift linkage from UUC, I came across the company history and had a laugh: http://www.nexternal.com/uuc/articles/UUC_history.htm "What is UUC Motorwerks? UUC is the acronym for Underground Upgrade Club. For those automotive enthusiasts who have "significant others" (wives, husbands, etc.) who do not understand the desire and need to enhance the performance of a vehicle, welcome to the club. If you ever get these kinds of questions: "Why do you need new wheels when the old ones are fine? Why do you need new suspension if the current ones aren't worn out? Isn't your current car fast enough?" - we empathize with you. You might just have to hide a few things from the Missus or your Old Man. You know the drill...no credit card or check purchases... sneaking cash to buy upgrades to feed your automotive addiction. For your convenience, UUC Motorwerks accepts cash and we ship discretely. We can even ship to your employer!..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan... Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 that DBR1 replica is sweet! Those little ones would be insane though too! You can pick up a cheap, run down miata for under $2k nowadays. Sell the hood, trunk, bumpers, doors, and all the interior parts you dont need, and you could probably get around $1k for it. So you could conceivably get everything you need to build one of those open air ones for under $7500. Add an intake, cams, exhaust, tune, and maybe some port/polish work done and you could get 150whp in a 2000lb, RWD car.. They dont look all that horrendous either IMO Or if you're insane, you could piece together a turbo and easily hit 250whp, which would be insane.
