Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
Classic Mini, 4G63T (not sure if I'd use a mildly modded 6-bolt, or just go for a stock EVO 8-9 motor) with modified MiniTec subframes (yes, they now have an AWD subframes to accept CRV components)
All that with the normal bolt on flares and 13's, maybe some 14's.
Ideally, there use to be a composite body/unibody that was available for the classic mini too. Was stronger and lighter than the metal originals.

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
I would love to get another Evo 8/9 for a DD.
However, a 180sx with a CA18 comes to mind for a fun project car for me
Or anything with an RB25. Another RSX would be cool too, miss that car. |

Re: If you can start a new project car, what would it be?
Turbo LS1 FC or SN95. Try to go deep into the 10's for less than 10k total investment. Would be fun.

It takes a full second off your 1/4 mile times.

We picked up the chassis at a very reasonable price, but we do have to source some parts to get it race ready, don't worry it will be one color soon enough
