Anyone on here into cars at all? I do alot of side jobs and side projects when i have free time. I mostly work on FWD SR20's but i've done a RWD SR20 swap before, which was alright.
I had a 12.0 @ 119MPH 200sx SE-R, but i decided to part it out. Fun little car, as you can imagine.
Only thing i've never done on a car is rebuilt a motor. I've taken one apart, but never put one back together.
Anyone else into cars at all?
<------ Oh yeah. All kinds of cars. (except korean cars blech)
My first build was an 18RG swap into a 76 Celica GT. I still remember all the oldtimers at the track just astonished at my 14.1 in that little shitbox. They were way faster, but kept coming over and scratching their heads, WTF? hehe.
Then a Dodge Neon - fully built, standalone, bigass turbo. Kept breaking axles so I quickly went away from FWD. The shop I owned did a lot of high end turbo work - quad turbo dodge hemi, lots of single turbo Supras, twin turbo vettes etc etc. Thats when I built my drift RX-7 and still have it to this day.
Currently I'm restoring a 1986 Lola Indy lights car (Buick GNX turbo motor, about 500hp) and hope to try my hand at open wheel this summer. I'm a little tired of 1/4 miles, and the drift thing has gotten way out of hand, too many kids and not enough talent.
You do anything besides drag race? A RWD SR20DET SE-R sounds like a lot of fun on open track...
I'm pretty much only into drag racing. I only did the RWD swap in my friends 240sx because he couldn't do it himself. He had all the supporting parts, he spent the cash.
I'm actually taking a break from the "going fast" thing, and trying to enjoy driving. I picked up this baby for $700 a few weeks ago:
G20.net Forums - Let me introduce myself.....
Which incidentally, the WP seized on it today, causing the belt to smoke to shit till it snapped. Nice LOL. Good thing i have spare parts everywhere.
Yeah I hear that - it costs so much to go fast all the time. Besides isn't that Nissans slogan? "Enjoy the drive" :P
Xcrispi should pop in here sometime, I know he is into racing too.
I have to admit though, I do love me some rally-x in the snow with my WRX. A group by me sets up a course on an airport runway. It's the drifter in me, but the 4-wheel slide is totally different. So much fun, even at slow speeds Hopefully we get one more good snowstorm here before the 27th, thats when the next Rally-X is
I love me some drifting with about 2" of snow on the ground in an open parking lot :D :DQuote:

We also got a 350small block Chevy in a dragster, and we are restoring a 1977 corvette.

I think it was actually a punk from the shop where I bought the rims; the local cops have been investigating them for cutting keys of cars thye have worked on.
^^LOL (The first part)
Sucks about the second part. I rolled a Jetta over one time while this cheerleader "distracted" me one day. I've owned two of them.

Born -n- raised on the Big Block Chevy . Crispi gets really bored w/ the likes of Nascar , ppl. driving in circles for extended periods of time ? -n- the only thing i honestly find appealing w/ the Nopi / Import thing is all the hotties lol . :)
Crispi currently has a 1979 G-body cutlass w/ a 13to1 comp. 496 chevy . On motor best time was a 10.80-10.90 on a radial tire too , no real slicks . Just fast enough to get booted , no cage / harnesses . lol .
