School Project

[I Wanna Race]

Hi, my name is I Wanna Race and I attend middle school here in Montgomery,AL. Anyways our Career Discovery teacher has given us a bonus points project. She said if we could design a new invention or just improve upon a current one we get an extra 100 as a major grade(sweetness). Well here comes the day where she assigns us what we can do if we want to. I choose cars as my choice, here's the catch I have to use already in production parts to make my better invetion. I chose to do Honda/Acura and have decided to make a powerful stock car that has the Honda reliability and the Acura power. I have taken the MDX motor, 3.5L V6 putting out 260hp and 250ft-lbs, but don't know what body to put it in to finish. I want it to be the lightest possible and still have breathing room for the engine, so can you guys recommend any cars for this project?

Do the parts have to be currently in production? If not, I would choose a new s2000 engine with a type R tranny, and a del sol chassis. I don't think that the MDX motor would fit in many other cars.

If this was a automotive class, you might have a chance at succeeding

I chose to do Honda/Acura and have decided to make a powerful stock car that has the Honda reliability and the Acura power.

Acura is Honda, not another company

I have taken the MDX motor, 3.5L V6 putting out 260hp and 250ft-lbs,

So, are you actually going to try to find one of these used? GOODLUCK

but don't know what body to put it in to finish. I want it to be the lightest possible and still have breathing room for the engine, so can you guys recommend any cars for this project?

Please refer to second statement, unless someone like your school auto shop is funding this, or Donald Trump, stick to something on a already availible scale.

Get a B20B, sleeved and bore it out to 2.6L, High compression pistons swain coated, custom crank and rods, sick race port head work, with super stiff springs, retarded lift/duration custom race ground cams, $5,000 in engine management, a cryo treated tranny, ITBs, race header, and drop it in a gutted 86 CRX Si.
