Aoa everyone!
Hope you all are fine. I require everyones input, opinion & recommendation to a lot of questions that Im about to ask.
First of all, being a car enthusiast like everyone here, I too like to have a ride which is unique and most of all something which makes me happy when driving and to be honest none of the current era cars attract me like the old era cars do, Im sure majority of you guys here agree to it. My main aim is to take an old car, upgrade it (internals only,) making it a ?sleeper?.
These are some basic requirements which I?m looking forward to;
- Engine: 2400-3000cc with a manual transmission (a heavier engine will affect handling and braking, an ideal engine with high compression ratio might be ideal?? Any suggestions on a specific type??)
- Rear wheel drive ( for better weight distribution, acceleration, braking & handling)
- Brakes (ABS) & Suspension setup (is it possible to buy a full setup, including engine, transmission, suspension, brakes etc?)
- Which car will be ideal to sustain all these alterations?
Apart from the basics, there are surely dozen more things to consider, thats why I ask you all for your guidance and help and personal opinions with recommendations to what steps to take before starting off with such an idea.
Also if anyone could point out to a competent experienced mechanic in Lahore whom I can meet and discuss everything in detail, it would surely be of great help. Appreciate for your time! Thanks!
