    Default My plans for a Auto-X Project Car. Yay, or Nay

    So basically I want to get a Datsun 240z, 260z, or 280z that doesn't run but the body is in decent shape, and has no rust on the frame of the car. I am going to do all the necessary suspension work, brake work, etc to have it handle the turns well, and excelerate out of corners well. I also want to put a SR20DET because if you mount the motor back as far as you can against the firewall it supposedly becomes like a mid-engined car, which would be good for auto-x. I am also going do all the necessary tuning and building of the motor to make the Z car fast, but not too fast. I just basically want it to scoot pretty damn well, but not be crazy fast where whenever the turbo spools I will loose traction so basically I will be content with 240-270 WHP. Acounting that my money situation stays the way it is until I am done with the project I'd say it would take 1.5 to 2 years to complete. So what is IA's opinions about it?

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.
