But factory projectors is a good start. Sure, an FX-R retrofit would be superior, but it's probably not cost effective as an improvement over the factory projectors.

A new set of 85122+ bulbs would probably be enough, at most, a set of 2.5" clear lenses.

Those new Hyundai Genesis's are really nice looking cars. An aggressively styled coupe I actually like.

Unfortunately, the car is very rough around the edges. Motor is lacking in power and refinement, the handling is dull, the interior hasn't been perfected, et cetera.

IMO, they're chasing the Nissan Z, but they have a long way to go.

While Scion/Subaru/Toyota are chasing the Miata, nobody knows how they've done so far.

Lulz. Went up 3-0 on one of the server's better demos, preventing him from camping our battlements. So he snuck in another way and camped the spawn room and killed me, despite server rules.

My father is against putting premium fuel in cars.

Okay, I've come up with an idea of $8000 for the 2001 Miata, and then another $3000 for a 170 RWHP turbo, OR $5000 for a 250 RWHP turbo, and finally another $2000 for suspension and other upgrades. So $13000 or $15000.

 

[MotF Bane]

Let's approach this from another angle. $2000 for an early 90's, if I can get past the looks. $3000 for suspension and other upgrades. Let's say $8000 for the LS1 V8 swap, done at home.

That's $11000, for a car that might be a little balkier, not as new/refined/nice, but definitely faster and more powerful.

 

[MotF Bane]

Nef.

 

[MotF Bane]

Maybe if I could find one like some of the Miata guys in ATG do; sans motor and such, down around $1000 or less. That opens a lot more options.

I can't really think of any V6 that's good for boosting except a handful of Euros that come boosted from the factory. Most of the N/As are going to be painful to deal with.
