I want to do a new project car... for those who know me this comes as no surprise.

Here is the general outline of what i want to do. Keep in mine the plan is to not spend any money to make the car faster besides replacing gaskets and fluids.

Step 1: I want to find a strong running cheap lightweight automatic fwd car. Reasons for wanting this configuration has everything to do with running consistent 1/4 miles. The fwd and auto make it a ton easier to duplicate times.

Step 2: After the car is acquired i will me taking it to get weighed, then straight to the track to get a bench mark.

step 3: Take every ounce i possibly can out of the car while spending no money. reweigh and return to the track.

(this is were the main goal of the car ends)

step 4: Port anything worth porting, return to the track.

step 5: Stick skinnys on the rear return to the track.

That has all I have really considered doing at this point. Any thoughts on this idea? Suggestions? I am thinking of doing this in a 90-94 mirage due to the price and my general knowledge of the car.

all in all i am thinking of completing the projects for around a thousand dollars.

 

Doooooooooooo It!!!!!!!!

 

call me a nerd i just love weight reduction, i think it would be really fun to see just how much faster i can get a car with only weight reduction

 

i say do it, weight reduction is one of my faves too. i have a dd 87 gti that is just begging to be gutted for the same reason

 

billy sound fun!

 

I have some weight you can take from me.

 

I can see this a project billy will actually get done...

 

^cause its cheap and easy and attainable

 

now i just need to find some money laying around

 

I thought you were going to get an evo?

Anyways I would think maybe an SI CRX. I know somebody that did something similiar and it broke 12's with minor mods on stock engine.

 

Not getting an evo, that is the last thing i need right now


if i were to get one it would be a 1-3

a crx would be a good choice.

 

Fixed and good luck w/ that...
