You would have sounded mo Gnagsta if you ended wi BELLEEEEE DAT

I dont want some JDM bullfuck. I want to torch some junk off someone's 50 cal target practice car, toss them a Bud, and call it a day!

Its sold. Sorry!

Find me a front clip and I'll but them!

DOnt need it- but could use another clean harness

1G or 2Gshould work- 1G turbo prefered

I need the whole front clip of a FWD DSM. Turbo preferred, NA is OK. Let me know what you guys got! I will need to torch off everything from the strut towers forward for this.

Truth! I like the suggestions though guys-but remember the main goal here is 1000hp per ton. Seems nearly unachievable on a budget. The best option IMO so far seems to be a CRX 1) Is under Colt weight (1750-1900 depending on year) 2) Good aftermarket for brakes/suspension/chassis 3) Room for action int he front or the rear Only issue is they are a little hard to find for cheap. Remember, I picked up my 2 Door 3g Colt for $200-and drove it home (trans was bad though) __________________

1000rwhp in any motor, on a budjet, is near impossible. ( A motor capable of that stock is NOT a budjet motor!) And again, if its not less than 2080, its no better than a Colt to me. and Im trying to go lighter than the Colt was, and make more power I just sold a Civic....

GOAL=1000hp per ton on a Budjet Aint going to happen in a DSM

that thing looks boss, but the lightest model is 2500lbs I have a Metro now- and the chassis/suspension and brakes are SCARY even at 60whp. Festivas are not much better. Unless I can make 200more hp, and loos 200lbs, I wont see my goals.

You cant get into any of those care cheap enough to make a $5k bugjet feesable for the power needed. NO WAY. And-all except the Datsun are pretty porky compared to a 3G colt. As covered RX-7 > 240 for my needs, and I already have that covered. Also, if you have never seen pics of the Colt, there are a few here-http://shearerfabrications.com/dev/gallery/jriccio

Im open for anything, but IMO the 4G is the cheapest way to make it happen. Suggest a combo that I could see 1000hp per ton for $5k or less-TOTAL. Im all ears....

Speculating-I want to have a chassis that is best allaround for what I want-same reaosn why I went with the RX-7. With that- I wanted- 1)Cheap 2) Fit a 275 under it 3) Have a strong enough stock rear end/axles for BIG power, at least consistent 1.6 60 foots on street tires. 4)Relativity long wheel base 5)Realitvly light. Was looking at Miatas (no tire/weak rear end/hard to find cheap) 280z (hard to find/weak stock rears/ruff stock suspension) 240's (iffy rear, open diff/usually rotted out) Stangs (Cheap-good enough rear/good aftermarket/HEAVIEST of the pack) and RX-7 (Win, in mostly every category) The TII RX-7 IMO is the best light budget RWD platform you can work with.

My I can run out of gear before the mile now from a stop. The gearing in this RX-7 trans is the weaksause for top end. But-it shifts. So its a BIG improvement!

Sorry-original post was a miss quote of a PM

I was always intrigued by how fast you could go, for next to nothing, in a light chassis. Couple that with a next to nothing 4G63 powerhouse, and you have a next to nothing build. The RX-7 is obviously performing well these days, and I do not think I am going to change anything for next season. It works-the tranny has not grenaded yet-its meant to be. So looking forward, I think its time for another "The Colt" type build with one goal in mind-ridiculous trap speeds on a rediculously low budget. A Forward goal of the nearly unachievable 1000hp per ton. For comparison- The Colt-708whp@30psi. Lets guess if I would have got the 1600cc's in there I would have stopped the part at 40psi, estimate 800whp. @ 2300 with driver, its still not there. So-looks like I need to loose a little weight, maybe make a little more power. (IMO, a tuff with budget engine internals) So-what are everyone's thoughts on engine options? Chassis options? Discuss-

WD40 soak- Brake Cleaner mist- Light- Profit.

I see nothing wrong here...

LOL. So it needs a motor, AND a tranny? Stock otherwise? Whats the deal? CALL ME

:bangbang:

Not yet. I want to test the limits of the stock motor. He'll see all of it.
