How would you spend 100k on modding/improving your current car?

on my Z4 35is.

I would do the following
Remap £500
LSD £2k
exhaust system £2k

So around £4.5k would make the care quite epic.
 
S2000
Supercharger
Sports exhaust
Super unleaded

There are all sorts of minor cosmetic things too and I'm sure there are suspension tweaks, spare wheels and track days.

Actually, sod that, I'd use the money to enter a race series. If I total the car, can I buy a replacement?

Should be around 400bhp. Not sure that would spend anywhere never 100k. Kinda pointless really
 
S14: 6.2 litre coversion.
All my handling mods are done, would probably just tweak them for the extra weight of the bigger engine.
 
Meh, My Accord I'd be happy with a set of Penta's and the recaro's from a Euro R.

I wonder how badly I could ruin a Renault Clio with £100,000.

Depends if its your generic 1.2, turn it into an RS rep, Almost did that with my 1.2 MK2 PH2, don't see many Cyclone Blue clio's sporting 1*2 kit...Then I realised it was a waste of money xD

Yep, it's a standard MK3 Clio Dynamique 1.4. I doubt I would do anything to it, I'd bend the rules and buy something else cheap and then do that up.

100k into a mondeo taxi hmm

Full interior redone with some focus rs front recaros dash and panels wrapped in lovely leather
A lot of sound proofing dynamat etc
Some very nice in car entertainment
And a lot of spare fuel

In fairness I'd probably settle for a set of focus st3 front seats and rear bench trimmed to match and a professional detail
 
Hmmm, I'll go with the DC2.

- Some fancy custom block turbo B18 build from RDT.
- Hewland dog box.
- Plenty of money in carbon parts custom fabricated locally up here in Abz by a wizard.
- A good stock of various slick tyres.
- Fancy suspension.
- Plenty of weight saving and further custom bits.
- A good chunk of driving tuition.

- Plenty of aero catches, so my engine cover doesn't come off, stalling the rear wing and flipping me into the crash barrier due to 40,000 lb/ft/lightyears of downupsidewaysinverse aeroforce.........
