i have an idea that would be fun as hell
over in our help section someone was asking about 13's for under a grand
im thinking about something way more fun
how about a 1000.00 street car shootout between TD,turbo-mopar,the honda guys, nissan guys, gm guys ford guys toyota, etc. format would run as follows:
fwd 4cyl cars only- any year allowed up to 1998
1000.00 total spending limit- including purchase price of car.
no donated parts- everything must be bought legitimately either off ebay, classified ads new etc.
tires( tread or slicks, no wider than 10 inches), brakes, ball joints, tie rods, suspension bushings do not count towards the spending limit- safety first
any modifications allowed, but car must be street legal- eg; functional lights turn signals, wipers ,instrumentation,glass windshield. emissions legality not required, open exhaust allowed.
if we can get several forums to agree to this, it would be a blast for everyone involved.
would also be dirt cheap- if each forum can get 100 people to chip in 10 bucks or 50 people to chip in 20 bucks it would be possible for everyone to play and not have a huge dent in their wallet.
call up the producers for pinks and have everyone show up for an all out type format- but the loser does lose the car , but winner does not win the car- they get put into a pool of cars to be auctioned off on ebay and the proceedes donated to charity
i think this is VERY doable, probably too late for this summer but like next spring?
might have to fine tune a few things like dollar amount and rules but it would make for a hell of an episode, doncha think? id pay 20 bucks to see that on TV....
i dont see a reason why it wouldnt be possible to have a 16 or 32 car field as there are many forums out there, and i think everyone would be game. the rules would need some fine tuning, like maybe up the dollar amount to 1500 or even 2000.00- i wanna see a whole bunch of clapped out 11-10 second cars fighting it out.
if we can get at least 16 forums on the wagon i think we have a show in the makings. plus with all the proceeds from ebay going to charity it will help to improve everybody's image in the public light. vote on this!!
i dont see a poll option on this forum, so post replies here, so we can gauge interest. so far every where ive posted this to there has been major interest in every forum. i'll be back in a couple weeks to check on the repsonses. this is for real, so far this has been started on almost a dozen forums in the last 2 days
lol 2k spending limit including the price of the car and you want to see them run 10s and 11s?
yeaaah...2 grand will prolly cover the cost of the car..2k more will get you a half assed turbo setup that will *maybe* runs mid-high 13's prolly
2K for a 11 second cavalier? hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
You would have to drop a S/C 3800 in a J to get close to those times for that amount of money. But then it wouldnt be a 4 banger anymore.
so wait, let me get this straight..................................................................you're looking for m4m?
its only gay if you make eye contact
where are you all getting 2 k from... i see 1 k
i bought clear HVAC knobs for $40.
oooooh shows you where i stopped reading
i think the bare concept is good......but 1or 2k total?????? and who is going to buy these half assed cars after they are done?
also the total for each person would double since any car you find dirt cheap will have no brakes or suspension. so even if the spending limit is 1k you need to raise 2k to have a "safe" car.
Man me and Ben Wenzel were doing the math on the phone the other night and both of us have nearly $20K invested in our cars to run what we do...and you think you can do it on $2K? Put the weed away and go outside. This is the real world...not TFATF or Need For Speed World.
I used to race cars, now I race myself.
5K PB: 24:50
10K PB: 54:26
get it up to 10k and maybe just maybe you might have a 12-13 second car
Buying a Jbody for race and spending under $2k including the price of the car.... enjoy your 15-16 second car.
Here you go.
1. We buy a totaled car with either a Eco and LD9 (about 10% of value) remeber my roof totaled mine
2. Do Fuel upgrades (injectors)
3. Do Spark upgrades (MSD coils and wires)
4. Tune to OVER REV the hell out of (it only has to go 5-6 times down a track)
5. Gut car
6. Cut and hack anything you can to cut the weight down.
7. Team Green LSD insert
I wonder what that would cost and run. I think if done right we can get down into 12's maybe, and I think we are under 2 grand if you ask me. Cause I know I could do this with 2 grand if I look hard for the right car.
pretty much the dumbest thread in a while.
GO PATS!!!
I wouldn't mind putting some money and time into a car that we have a buget say Ohio vs Mich vs KY vs PA for bragin' rights at the bash. 1-4th place, and we have a year to do so.
OR we can vote on one car to repersent our state....
^Or we can vote that this is the retard thread of the year!
