Anyone else into cars?

[Daveracer]

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.

<------ 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

I grew up around racing! Currently my family owns 2 blown alcohol funny cars. Are newest one is a remake of an old mach 1 mustang. The other one is a 90s style funny car body with a 550 big block Chevy! That one ran 7.30 in the 1/4.

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


Screw that import bullshit :P Its all about American muscle. Na, i guess you gotta work with what you can get eh?

I'll put my 80 CID motor against any similar sized motor you got.. Rotaries FTW!

OK wait no Hayabusas!

I have been looking at doing a v8 project here soon. I miss torque. I gotta find something old, ugly and light to put it in though

Yeah... every fucking morning... get up... get into my car... drive to work... get out of my car... work for 8 hours.. then back into my car again...

Actually I had a pretty sweet Jetta that I was building into a replica of the one from Fast and Furious but as soon as I was done with the body work, someone fucking stripped it and I just gave up.
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.

[TheGreenFog]

^^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.

LOL Tokudai ,
Crispis child saftey seat was in the bk. seat of a 1970 ls7 chevelle .
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 .
Crispi cant wait to get 1 good run in this yr. w/ the Big Shot sys. on it w/ 225hp. pill . :thumbsup:
Peace all
Crispi :thumbsup:
