How much would this car mod cost?
-
I was looking at this article/YouTube video about how they took a scion tC and made numerous modifications to it. Mainly there were three things that caught my eye. One where they switched out the motor with a completely different motor going from a 4 cylinder to a V8 (along with a turbo i'm sure), and the other one turning it into a Rear Wheel Drive instead of front wheel, and along with that they changed up the transmission. (Here is the URL for the article in case you were curious - http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/07/video-rockstar-aems-nascar-v8-powered-scion-tc-drift-car-gets/ - ) (And here is the URL for the YouTube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSaw5kEjUJ4&NR=1 - ) I know it's a rally car but that's besides my point. HERE IS MY QUESTION - And before you go and Troll and criticize about my car selection STFU Now then... I Love the look of the Hyundai Tiburon. Particularly this one - http://www.ibherdesign.com/hyundai-tiburon.html - However I am aware that this car sucks when it comes to performance/engine/etc. 1. How big of an engine could you put in it? (How much Hp/Torque/Etc.) 2. How much would the engine cost? 3. How much would it cost to install it? 4. How much would it cost to switch out the transmission to a better one? (if needed) 5. How much would it cost to switch it from front wheel drive to Rear Wheel Drive? 6. How much would it cost to do all of that? So pretty much I'm asking how much would it cost to do the same thing they did to the rally car to the Tiburon. Thanks ahead of time!!! Random

Answer:
This is one of those things that if you have to ask, you probably can't afford. it. You'd be essentially re-enginering the car, there will massive amounts of fabrication involved, and many, many one-off parts that will have to be custom made. You're looking at at least $80 grand in parts and labor, likely more. Also your car would rendered illegal to drive on the street.

Thousands upon thousands of dollars. Cars you see in magazines and on TV are terrible cars to base your goals on. These are professional race teams with thousands of dollars and tons of sponsors at their disposal to pay for and install parts. Join a local forum for the model you're looking at, and check and see what other people are doing and what their results are. This is a much easier, and cheaper way to modify your car. Your post is extremely disorganized and confusing, so I'm not even sure what car you're asking about. You can be sure there is some kind of forum online for it though, which is your best place to start.
