What Bolt Ons to Beat This Car + Motor ?

[rjudgey]

When you drive something much newer AKA my BMW 120d Msport you get to appreciate that turning your car into a speed machine from a family car is not the most economic way of having fun, it cost me so much money to gain the knowledge i have to make these old girls far more interesting than they ever could have dreamt of being when honda first released them, but at the end of the day when your running silly power and your constantly runnign around racing everything in sight and they are fun to use and to take on track and to drag race but they are just so fragile you get tired of the constant re-builds, to the gearbox, engines, and what ever else packs up that month. Buying a new car thats fas to begine with and modding that seems to last much longer yes it's still not quite the same but my two ludes have been of the road for a year now, if i had not had been fortunate enough to have been able to get a company car allowance to buy a really good car i would have had it fixed in like a space of a month but since i've been running around in the beemer terrorising the petrol heads in my derv mobile i've been getting just as big a kick out of that as i did terrorising modern sports cars with my 20 year old grandad honda mobile!! I will get it going again it's just so much harder to work up th motivation to swap over engines and pull rusty old suspension parts apart. Plus the money i spent over 7 years on these two cars i could have bought a nearly brand new Z4 M coupe!! And god do i hate rust i think if i were in a hot climate and i had two non rusty old hondas my opinion would be slightly different. But you just get worn out by them in the end but i'm going to give the webered Beast one last chance and it will be something special but it will take a while to finish as i want it to be the best i can get it to with the 7 years of my research and the knowledge i've gathered from here and other forums.

Maybe then you'll post some pics!

[rjudgey]

You've got pics allready it's all on my cardomain, the engine still looks the same, the webers still look like webers, you can't show pics of inside an engine or gearbox? You got pics of the inlet manifold i had custom made which took a year to be perfected and finished, theres pics of work i've done on cylinder heads. Only thing left i'm waiting for is for someone to finish making my custom exhaust valves, and to buy and moddify a exhaust manifold and system. Oh i'm planning on putting bac the black old shape bumpers and painting bottom half of car in black anti rust paint to help try and preserve her for a bit longer so it will have a nice two tone look i'll post some pics of that when i eventually do it probably in the summer when the car is hopefully put back on the road. You are so demanding you worse than a woman ;0)

[speedpenguin]

I didn't even know you had a Cardomain!

Man I hate that site everything takes too long to load. Oh well guess I'll go look. "Sigh"

[rjudgey]

[speedpenguin]

Added.

Nice Preludes, sir!

[mike10562004]

[AccordEpicenter]

lol, no

[mike10562004]

so why wouldnt i?

I know what you mean,i stated doing some of the machine work on my SU dual carb manifold around Christmas time last year, I remember because everyone else was walking around shit faced at work,and i was machining parts. much better use of time if you ask me.

[ahmad89]

do a V8 swap then you'll smoke everything, almost.

[mike10562004]

could i build it to beat him without having to put an turbo on it?

[lostforawhile]

you could bolt on a tow bar and bolt that onto the back of a top fuel dragster. then you would probably beat him. just watch out for those chutes hitting the windshield.

[AccordEpicenter]

itd be more expensive and more effort to try and beat this guy without a turbo, youll need a shit ton of headwork, nitrous and weight reduction.

[ahmad89]

Just use a different car, these cars make like what 80-90 hp stock. Buy a ZO6 and he will enjoy seeing your tail lights from a football field away.

[mike10562004]

actually the 7m-ge produces 200rwhp

[AccordEpicenter]

its also a 3600lb car. 200whp in a 3600lb car is probably a 15 sec car at best. My TL is a 215whp car and weighs 3400lb and only pulls mid 14s. If it was a turbo 7mgte with some mods then yeah you should be able to beat that b series

[mike10562004]

hell yeah and throw some d's on it and i was thinking about doing an mkiv front end conversion with the 93 supra head lights

look closely its an 89 with the 93 conversion



89 supra with body kit


they dont look that bad

[rjudgey]

Only way your going to beat that teg is to get something light, suggest maybe looking for a 1st gen Rex or 2nd gen Civic DL and then drop a ZC or better B16 in there with a few mods then you'll be getting warmer, getting a much heavier car with an engine that is only a little bit more powerfull is not forwards progress. Another option Mazda RX7 either Gen1 or much more powerful Gen 2 with turbocharged rotary and you still have the option of dropping V8 in there adn they don't weigh 3500lb!! Or other option is Mazda Miata with tweeked engine or V8 swap. Personally i'd track down a Toyota MR2 Mk1 with supercharged engine or maybe a turboed Mk2 MR2 then you'll be getting closer.

Okay getting off-topic, moved this to general.

[mike10562004]

yeah but well im now making payments on it and i got a killer deal so im jut needing to turbno the beast im going to twin turbo it with garret t61s

[AccordEpicenter]

if you dont want a money pit id avoid any kind of rotary powered vehicle. Those things can be nightmares but can also make an assload of power. A turbo mazda miata would be a viable option i would think also. Hmm you could also just get an 98-00 civic si with a b16 right in it and boost it and you should crush that teg pretty badly

[F22B1VTEC]

1 engine, 2 words. H22 Swap!
As much money as you would spend on mods or a new car, I think you could drop this beast in and take his ass with a couple bolt on's.
