Roll-cage, fire suppression system, window net, kill switch, FIA seat, 20 gallon fuel cell...

And there goes 10k and I haven't even made it to the tires, suspension, brakes, engine, diff, aero, cooling and communications yet. Argh!

10K? I'd contact Eaton/Magnuson to get my hands on an R900 supercharger head unit, then get to work on a lower intake and throttle body elbow to install it with. I have an awesome aluminum fabricator near by, as well as a company that does 3D printing, and another that does custom casting. It's possible, but would likely cost more than 10k by the time I was done. Kind of a waste for a one-off though.

Turbo or supercharger, coilovers and wheels. It is a stretch but with smart shopping you can do it.

Somebody, sometime ,somewhere, somehow, needs to put an LS engine in this car. And while 10k would be about a quarter of the required budget, I might be tempted to start measuring.

Save up another 5 grand.. Because you know what? This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.

-JPM Coachworks leather and alcantara interior trim pieces: $???

-ALSA Ghost Chrome metallic paint, professionally paint silver interior plastics to resemble real metal: $???

-Perrin header-back exhaust with cat and resonator: ~$1700 +S&H

-KW V3 coilovers: ~$2000 +S&H
-Prodrive GC012L wheels, 18x8.5F/18x9.5R: ~$4500 +S&H... FUUUUU But I want them sooooo baaaaad!

-Hankook R-S3 tires 225/45R18 F/255.35R18 R: ~$900 + S&H

Those would be my first mods, and would probably eclipse $10k but you get the idea. The wheels are the real killer... Plus the first thing I would do is a full exterior detail with Opti Coat 2.0 and 3M clear bra for the entire hood, fenders, front bumper and mirrors, which would run around $1,500 if I had to guess.

I would spend the $10K to buy the FR-S a MK1 MR2 (including restoration work) as a pet!

Thanks all. Part 1 done. I picked up a Asphalt FRS last night! White was my first choice, but I do like the gray.

Got the BeSpoke and the carpet for the trunk. (beggars cant me choosers). I am actually pretty impressed with the BeSpoke. The BeSpoke iPhone app is crap, but the rest of the system is pretty nice. I am sure they will fix up the BeSpoke app and at least have a usable GPS for the few times that it is needed. Will put up first impressions soon. At the moment, I need to find wheels! Need to do some more research on suspension too. Want to lower it about 1".
