Well, hi to everyone, this is what I have been working on for the past year, it has gone slower than planned due to of course money and lack of knowledge about these particular cars.
During this past year I have mostly tried to learn as much as possible, even if I have had experience w/ race cars before, never with an turbo or a FWD, I have
raced boats, go karts, motorcycles, always done most of my work and have done fairly well.
I do not fit the average profile of a DSMR, since I could be most guys granpa, or the profile of the racers, but once you have been bitten by the bug, it stays with you.
On to my plans:
Probably a 2.0 motor with my present turbo, small 16g, will try to go with as much compression as possible, ported head, proper clearances and balance, ETC.
Since I can work with fiber I have already done some parts and will do as much as possible to save all the weight I can, I am truly a weight nut, and will try to build the lightest car I have done, I am 110% function and reliability oriented and there is almost nothing in a car that can not be made lighter or stronger.
