13-Second Car for $10,000

[viridion]

90 dx with blown motor for 25$
79 pontiac bonneville with posi trac (very rusty) 350$
assorted steel and such 200$
gas/wire for the wire feed.. and some welding rods 250$
engine build up for 1000$ with edelbrock intake/carb and performer cam kit etc.. some hooker headers open with turndowns.
some nickel and dime stuff for 200$

why not just do that?

that's $2025 (3k tops) for a RWD 400+hp V8 4g. (prolly more of a drifter than a drag car cause the weight isn't really over the rearend hehe)

if you know how and really want to do something.. you can pretty much do anything

[Kunundrum]

4thgen civic or 2nd gen CRX -- 2000$
Big brake Kit -- 1200$ + 600$
H22a Motor and LSD tranny 2500$ + 1000$
Header, Intake and Exaust 1200$
-------------------------------------
total 8500$ use the extra 1500$ to do rim and tires or other mods like cams, P&P ... ect.

this is an example of a car that would be fast as hell but would handle like ass... but you wanted a fast car you said nothing about handeling

i also rebuilt the engine myself when i was in mechanic school, and the total cost was 500 bucks. i ported the head myself at the school.

rebuilt the YS1 tranny when i was working at a nissan dealership, and it only cost me 50 bucks for synchros.

all the work is done by me, so theres no labor cost. theres more money in the car, but its cosmetic stuff like racing seats and steering wheel and interior parts, as well as two sets of wheels. wont include the 18s, cause they dont make the car faster

Good stuff! Good luck on getting into the 13's. Let us know how well you did once you hit the track. I wish some of the other "tuners" on this "thread" had a bit more to say on how to build a car rather than lecturing me on the difference between a forum and a thread. How gay is that?! Ricers!

Don't get me wrong, i'm not even going to pretend I don't enjoy seeing the power of a good muscle car, but it's jiust not that big of a challenge for me. It's too easy to build a fast muscle car and I like the adjustability of the sport compacts a lot more. With gas prices at $2.35 a gallon where I live I would hate to get stuck with a 3500 lbs. gas guzzler. At least with a sport compact I can adjust my fuel settings back to a toned-down, gas-saving four cylinder.

Well there WERE people telling you what to do since u asked but then u got all ass hurt when we were only talking about it and didn't personally do the build-up or have the car. Big frickin deal. And if u dont hit 13 seconds with 10k into your car, and mainly engine, then something is probably wrong.

Yeah, there must be something really wrong if the guys @ Honda Tuning magazine who could get a $2500 Integra, B20B with a GSR head ported & polished, headers, hi-flow cat, a Hondata ECU, short-shifter w/ a GSR tranny and still couldn't hit 13's. Go and check out the article.

As for you. If I wanted to hear theory about how to hit 13's I would stand in the parking lot with all the ricers at my school. You're probably just like them. I bet you're the kind of "tuner" who cuts his springs, puts a wing on the back of his car, and puts a loud muffler on the end of a 1 1/2" exhaust piping, along with about 50 stickers and think you gotta fast car. I bet you're one of those guys who drive around town with a f*cked up ass body kit looking like a giant darth vader helmet on wheels, huh. The only thing 13 about your car are stock 13" wheels your still driving on. Fag. Go get your asshole stroked and bored .020 for $10 and maybe you'll be able to run your gay ass down the block in 13-seconds.

Do you know how many people here ACTUALLY HAVE EXPEIENCE driving their Honda into the 13 second range? No one in this post yet. So stop with the fucking trash talk already.

You're talking shit like you own a 13 second car and you probably haven't even bought your Honda yet..

[90civicracer]

You can get into 13's and you could do that with a thing called FORCED INDUCTION. They got good numbers, hell great numbers (what low-mid 14?) and if you are looking to stay naturally aspirated those would be really good numbers. However if you go with a swap and turbo i'm sure you will be able to hit 13's.

And what's w/ all the hate man. No im not just a ricer who goes around my school and revs and shit, im not that stupid. My cars not the shit and i know its not. Also, go check out my cardomain site and you'll see that 1) i dont have cut springs, I have coilovers 2) i have no wing whatsoever 3) I do have a muffler but its attached to a 2.5" cat-back exhaust system WITH a resonator and its not loud at all 4) and i have 1 sticker on each of my rear 1/4 windows (2 in total) and its a grey AEM sticker which you should be able to see in the pix from the aforementioned cardomain site 5) i have no body kit, all stock body components even though i would like some FACTORY fenders since mine have a few dings and last of all number 6) I dont have 13" rims if you would have seen the pix you would have known.

Sorry for the long post guys, but just had to get some things straightened out. And in case you can't find the WWW button on the bottom of my posts...here is a link to my cardomain site...http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/329010/2 Laters.

if you cant hit 13s with 10,000 there is something wrong. yes its true. with 10,000, you could get into the 13s naturally aspirated with a 1.5L non VTEC.

anybody who says they have $20,000 or some crazy shit into their car and *isnt* running 12s or 11s is a fucking retard.

btw, idiot, its not theory. anybody with 1/2 a brain and $10,000 could easily build a 13 second civic.
Hell, you could *pay* an overpriced shop to build you a 13 second car for $10,000. Like i said, give me $3,000 and i'll build a 13 second car.

As for you. If I wanted to hear theory about how to hit 13's I would stand in the parking lot with all the ricers at my school. You're probably just like them. I bet you're the kind of "tuner" who cuts his springs, puts a wing on the back of his car, and puts a loud muffler on the end of a 1 1/2" exhaust piping, along with about 50 stickers and think you gotta fast car.

Go get your asshole stroked and bored .020 for $10 and maybe you'll be able to run your gay ass down the block in 13-seconds.

let me guess.. you're the type of person who sits around with his "tuner" friends, who spent $700 on an RSR exhaust and $500 on a JDM intake and theorizes on how to build a 10 second car. If you cant figure out how to build a 13 second car on 10,000 bucks, maybe you need to stick to fart cans and JDM ashtrays.

stop whining, pussy.

I dont know who the fuck you think you are, but the two people you were just talkin to about being "ricers," are nowhere near bein ricers. For your information, like you even deserve this...both Mike and I have invested money in new springs or coils for our cars. Both Mike and I hate spoilers, and the only ones we personally would ever put on the back of our cars are the stock lookin ones with the LED brake light. We both want a clean and stock look, nothing too outrageous. The only stickers that Mike has are two AEM stickers, one on each of his rear 1/4 windows, because he actually has an AEM CAI system in his car. Neither of us have body kits, we're still stock, and the only reason I'm still on 13's asshole is because I'm out of a job right now and can't afford to put 17's on. Maybe not all of us can afford to drop bills on our cars all the time like we'd want to. It's called bein a kid and havin a fuckin life as well as tryin to mod your car. You started attackin Mike and sayin shit about him that was directed at me, figure out who the fuck youre tryin to talk to and attack before you do it. All that shits gonna do is piss of the mods and if you do it enough, you can get your ass tossed outta here.
Listen, you keep talkin big like you know all your shit, but that raises the question, what the fuck are you doin here then? I suggest that if you want help from people who really do know what theyre talking about, you should come at them with a different approach, rather than calling them "ricers" and insulting their cars and its stupid. Like Siz said, stop the fightin, this is dumb, I have other things to post about, helpin other people. The last thing I want to do is come here and tell you off for bein such a fuckin jerk.
LESSON: Be nicer to your forum elders...you might need help from them later, and they might not want to give it to you if youre a dick. Ahzab33, I got no beef with you, other than you attacked me and the one thing I care about most. These guys are like family to me, and when some ignorant, sniveling little shit talker comes in and tries to run things, I gotta step in. No hard feelings tho, just learn to keep your fuckin mouth shut if you dont know what the hell youre talkin about.

One last thing, before I go...I apologize to all that have had to read this and think to themselves about how this place could just be a place to learn and appreciate cars, not to fight over stupid shit like this. I hate typin it so I can imagine how much it can be annoying to read if you arent involved.

My guess is he's a high school kid that doesn't even have a car or any real first hand experience behind a steering wheel and a tree at all.. Just talk about how fast his car will one day be....

[Mtrujillo]

Amen to that my brotha !!!!!!!

Come on man. Are you for real?.... Dude, go back and read my first post. I DO have the car. What pisses me off is when I come on here looking for advice and I get slammed by "AF Enthusiasts" for being a "AF Newbie" as if that really means something in the real world. Some people on here really do know their stuff. But, I would say the majority of people on here are just ricers.

When I say ricers I mean people who not only don't know about how to make a fast car, but don't care. They give Honda tuners a bad name. You should see all the posers at my school standing next their cars, revving their engines. Then all of a sudden a Cobra or a Camaro SS will enter the lot and everything gets quiet. Nobody ever dares challenge those guys, but they sure do sound pretty hard revving their engines in the lot. I see more serious tuners driving Supras and EVOs than Hondas. It's a shame because I love Hondas, but there are too many posers and ricers out there.

If you are not a ricer, then don't take offense because i'm not talking about you. But, if you're one of these guys who'd rather talk about the difference between a forum and a thread, then maybe you oughta take up computers or something. Because you don't belong anywhere near a car.

[90civicracer]

BTW how old are u ahzab33?

[SiZ]

Lets see under your hood.

I'm no poser. I'm no high school kid either. And I'm not afraid of Camaros.

You're getting slammed becuase you're talking shit to everyone here like you've got something to back shit up but probably drive 17 second car but with high hopes.
