Ricers have alot more too them then most might think i am not trying to defend them but those that are not truly rice but are actualy just driving a import car and trying to make it fast can do it fairly easily with research.
1. subaru? take the old brat from the 77 to 87 and do the imprezza swap about 3gs for the entire setup.
2. mazda? take a 383 stroker sbc and drop it in the 2nd gen rx7 go have a blast. about 4-5 grand.
3. nissan? rb26dett in a 91 240sx swap would go about 6-7 grand.
4. datson (if you want an OLD nissan) take a caddilac 500 (with only an aluminum intake they weigh only 40 pounds heavier than a sbc) put it in a 70' 240z the swap would be about 4 grand. (but 425 hp and 575 ft pounds eh?)
5. mitsubitshi? this is a little more diificutl their trannies are difficult to work with seeing tha tthey have a hard time NOT blowing to smithereens. either way take a six bolt motor with a halbrow boost controller do all the turbo mods use synchro mesh for a stick NEVER use an auto with a mitsu. a mitsu to get in teh low twelves costs about 2 gs anything past you MUST buy a special made tranny wich cost about 3 gs and your good to the 8 second mark.
6. oh the honda? take a b16a drop put in arias 8.0 forged pistons. make your own turbo kit for about 1500 and drop it in a crx. it would cost about 4 for entire swap and about 600 more for the special pistons. so about 5 grand.
7. toyota take a last year cressida (which alread has the supra motor) and through a 1500 doller single turbo kit (which i know of ) which will give you about 450hp to the wheels. the car it self costs about 1200 no more or less there (GET A WAGON IF YOU DO THIS SO MUCH COOLER TO HAVE A SLEEPER WAGON!)
----------------
Now with this all said and done my fiero costed me 400 bucks with a shity battery and a bad alternator - i bought the 327 for 200 wich came with a granny low tranny. i can sell the two trannys and the 2.8 lt v6 on ebay to mostly pay for the car. i then buyt the archie kit for 900 or so and peice the rest together for about a grand. i'll have a 12 second car that should get 25 to the gallon for about 2 grand.
---------------
If you are young and looking to buy a car to mod consider the cars i have listed abouve i have spent the last 3 and a half years studying different cars and what will make each one fast for the lowest price- and not only that how to get good mpg out of car weather it be a carborated motor or a fuel injected motor-.(check out pgmfi for the moates 2 timer for more info on how to get increadbaly good MPG on fuel injected cars)
I have also looked at alterrian vehicles as well (the brat of course and actually belive it or not the fiero too)
If any of you remmeber me from before HEY what's up? I'm BACK! HA HA HA HA thanx too all of you that actually answered my questions with respect and full intellegnece. kudos to the honda and mitsu guys not my choice of car but of the entire forum on AF i belive these are the two sections that helped the most and fort the mitsu guys it was really dsmtuners.com that they recomended me that the best of them all are. thanx again.
