Experiment

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

oooo you could buy a lotus/caterham 7 kit car and put a Suzuki Hyabusa engine in it. I'm sure that would shift quite nicely.

note - Theoretically i would win :o

thanks for the replies guys, i never knew you could get that much power out of an import, ive grown up around muscle car lovers my whole life and they absolutely hate imports and im trying to get a love for both sides. I just wish one of these days i would see one of these cars on the street, that would be nice.

Glad that you're open minded. More people need to be that way..




And dayam, that turbo Laser is amazing! Makes me want a DSM.

I did some number crunching and if my tuner were to tune it for free the nearly 8K USD or 14K NZD I would be able to reliably net around the 650hp before it gets a whole more expensive having to do more for supporting it. This is including labour to do the work.

Shut up you want every car...Hell you change cars more than I change my socks.

This is pathetic put 8 grand into an older corvette you can run whatever you want. Swap engines, turbos, superchargers, etc. With 8 grand in most cars you can make them as fast as hell. This should be the end of this conversation.

Man, some people cant handle a light-hearted conversation


Before I wrecked it I had an old 89 s10 blazer. I had a 350 and a transmission to drop in there with free work... that would have been one fast blazer with 8 grand of mods...

Even with 8k I bet you still can't make a geo or a yugo fast..

My friend you can make anything fast just drop a v8 in it and fix the suspension. check this out http://www.ford-v8-focus.com/

It may need more than 8 though.

sure would take probably more then 8k to convert a geo to a RWD....

Not if you did all your own fabrication. You could actually pick up a small block chevy long block for $800, an old turbo 350 tranny for $500 and a GM 10 Bolt for $150 if you shop around.

The most expensive part of the conversion would be the custom driveshaft and having the rear narrowed. Still for all the parts you're way under $8k.

But, you would really have to have your @$% together as a fabricator to make it drivable.

[pre98zetec]

That's true.. But after all it's only a geo.. Not really worth modifying.

[GTR2b]

yeah, I wouldn't waste my time either hehe.

BTW, I bet you didn't know that the fastest, and quickest production Ford ever, was a 4-cylinder car, did you?

Too bad it was never offered in America...would've hurt sales of their "muscle car", the Mustang.

Ford RS200 EVO

It was a Ford, a 4-banger, and an "import". [Sesame Street]"One of these things is not like the other..."[/Sesame Street]

Oh my god, That car is fucking fast! I remember seeing this car on GT2, Or it looked similar, But it only have 350hp.
