You might have mentioned this already but what are you planning to weigh?

I couldn't even tell you man. That is something I'm not to worried about. I figure it will be crazy light considering everything that has been taken out. There will be a passenger seat for the gf for when it's on the street but it will come out for track days so I wouldn't doubt 2600lb car.

Nice going Sean, but c'mon man, I thought you are already running/just kidding/.

Lol yeah yeah. I'm getting there. It's hard when you don't cut corners I had a chance to buy a 2.4 aluminum rod motor for $1k but because I wasn't sold on a 2.4 build with a turbo that crys for high revs and not a big fan on the JE pistons that were in it I passed.

You are going to post final prices when you're done, right? Because I am very interested in what I need to start saving to compete w/ my buddies Civic. He is going to be pushing nearly 800Hp and I can't let a Civic beat an Eclipse!

 

[redtsi252]

No offense ...but I doubt your buddy's civic is gonna be 800hp.

Well, his plan was only 700, but then with the mods he is dropping in, people in his forum were guessing closer to 800. But we all know how honda people are....

I will put it to you like this there is no set price on this kinda thing it's all kinda what you do with what you can get your hands on. To give you a realistic number I would save 10k get the big stuff and the little stuff will nickle and dime you the rest of the way to 15k just about. but I mean you can do it for cheaper and you can spend more but that's a good ball park to save. You figure my head will cost about 1500 all said and done and the block as well so that's 3k right there not including the car the cage the turbo system tuning ect.. i said I would show everyone a normal guy can make a fast car(fingers crossed) not a broke guy

it can be done trust me im from nyc and there are a coupl of 800whp civics

Funny you say that cause one of my goals is to race and beat Cezar or however the hell he spells it from High Boost. I see him running NY with top street and I see him beating up on mildly built talons. Even if I don't win I think that race would get a good amount of attention in both worlds.

I guess the main reason I asked was because my buddy is dropping nearly 15K into his civic, and us w/ AWD platforms need to upgrade the t-case, drive shaft, rear end, and rear axles, on top of everything a FWD platform would need to run. So I was estimating about 4K more than what he will put down for his build. So I was just seeing what one could ACTUALLY build it for. And yes, everyone will be different as we all have our own "connections". Guess I'll just have to build mine and see where it goes. Good thing I am going to be an engineer!

Never said it couldnt be done...butt lets face it...How many thread have there been on this forum where the OP's goal was 700, or 800 hp

or to run 9, or 8

How often does the OP achieve his goal???????

not sayin slippi is one of those people...he actually stayed tru to his thread...and kept the updates comming....so0o far I do believe he will build a 9 sec. car

My point is...we see these types of post all the time...and it never happends....

that will be a great race hope this run goes down in 09 for sure

I agree you see I want to run 10s/9's ect. thread all the time. The difference is they are on there asking people what they should buy to go faster and need more guidance then a audience. I made this thread more to show people how I think you build a fast car not to ask how to build a fast car. This is not the only way or even the best way to build a fast car but this is just how I deicded to do it and for anyone that doesn't know how to do it at all maybe this will give them a better idea so they can do it their way.

DSM PWR....I have seen your threads...and you are also one of the few who follow through

 

[twicks69]

Hey, don't crap up a person's thread. Don't let it even go past that comment. You want to do that, make a new thread complaining about it, and then we can delete it.

Keep it out of Slippi's thread.

No one appreciates it when someone comes in to your house and starts kicking up mud on your white couches. (We all know the Rick James line from David Chappelle that would follow the action) -- and I can say it is not cool.

 

[redtsi252]

I agree...I wasnt tryin to tho...Sorry about that slippi...didnt mean to clutter your thread...

Again...Bad ass build...keep the updates commin

 

[Slippi84]

It's all good I understand your POV. Water under the bridge. Back to the cars.....

 

[jemsoccer]

I'm sorry I even mentioned a Honda on here. Was just curious on a projected cost...

Sean, are you using the 90-style straight-cut oil pump gears or the 91-99 style helical gears?

I really love your build, had to show my wife I wasn't the only one building motors in the house. your a brave man. I've been thinking of selling my mk3 supra lately and just building a 4g63 and then buying a awd shell. good luck maybe someday I'll have a post like this.
