I'm rich
My rich grandmother is dead
 R.I.P.My rich grandmother has inherited to me 43.000 $ plus an old Vespa 50 special  Whohooo! I'm rich!!!!! What can I do with this money? Let me think, let me think, let me think..........I got it!! I'll leave the 200sx as my daily car and I'll buy a last gen. rx-7 to make it a drift king. Lots of people told me that the rx-7 has a fragile engine and it is thirsty, so I'm going to buy a rx-8's motor and put it into the rx-7; can I do it? How much costs an Rx-8 motor? -I'm going to do this because I hate the body of the rx-8 with those stupid 4 doors, but I like its new concept of rotary, most strong and less thirsty, with better performances.

If you weren't in Italy I'd ask for the Vespa, then I'd not have to bother with a spare wheel, if a tire goes flat I'd just pull out the scooter and ride. Sorry about your grandmother - at least she was rich and generous.

well if I had 40k your plane maybe feasible, but it would probably take up all your money, then when it breaks, you can't fix it lol....
Spend 20k and make a decent car... if your in drifting I assume you know about the S chassis cars.... 20k including purchase price would make an awesome S13/14 Silvia. If your serious about an FD with an engine swap..... check out these guys from Petit Racing. My dad has a shop accross the street from them and I see some pretty wicked stuff. These guys basically build race cars for sebring etc... and they do some cool street cars too. They have a stretched FD limosine that is actually fast, but would interest you the most is what they call the Banzai Rx-7. They put in a 3 rotor and turbocharge it. They build a new crossmember for the engine and mount everything so it looks stock. These guys do some quality work!  http://www.pettitracing.com

The three rotor engine is classified as the 20B, the (most common) two rotor is the 13B. To best understand it, just think of the rotor as a piston (although they are NOTHING alike), an 8 cylinder is generally thought to be able to produce more power than a 6 cylinder. The three rotor is essentially a two rotor with an extra rotor, therefor it is simply a larger displacement engine, and generally capable of producing more power.

40,000 isn't enough for a perfect grade drift car

A corolla GT-S could be bought, restored, and converted to a 4AGZE block with new internals and turbo charged along with a full suspension for $10,000 or less.

not a D1 car or something like the Signal S15(which I hear costs almost half a million)....
but for 40k you could make one hell of a badass street car if you bought an older import with potential.

Why not invest the money? Assuming you are young you could make a lot out of that now.
I inherited 75k from my mother when she passed last sept - I invested it and since I am only 19 I will be able to retire with over 25 million. That is also assuming I put no more money in either. Be wise and have enough to buy a porsche later... (or anything else that might suit your fancy)

I have no respect for people like this guy. He is happy that his grandma died so his lazy ass wont have to work for anything. And to top it off, he is bragging about how she left him money. I'm sick of people buying rotaries that dont know what they are doing. Everytime something goes wrong with them, they take them to someone else to get it fixed that doesnt know what they are doing. That is why there are so many in junk yards right now. If people knew anything, there would be a hell of a lot more of these cars on the road. Oh, and BTW the new Evos are a POS. Some guy just got one and blew the engine in it already.
