Yeah no shit, thats about all you could get for around 1800. No interior, or box. Isn't the box worth 1500 anyway?

To put the 25 box in my 32 it cost nearly 2.5k at the end of the day and that's not paying for labour.

drag car aye.. ok i might know a weeny bit.

what class you looking at competing?

because if its higher classes, id be looking at getting a 3/4 chassis or a full chassis made.

so dont bother about too much about body condition, except for the roof and doors !

most of the other panels will be fibreglass.

how serious in terms of drag is it going to be? because drag / track = not same

driveline different, tough manualised gearbox for drag, 5spd for track, etc

i wouldnt worry about stereo, rims, exhaust, etc.

and if you are on a small budget, then drag racing isnt the sport you want to build a car.

and budgets blow out bigtime... i went from a simple 3540/6boost/nitto/80Lb inj, setup ... to a T51/6boost/nitto/220Lb setup ... why? because intercooling bugged me :down:

do it right the first time, dont take shortcuts. etc :)

Edited by Tocchi

Spend as little as 10k and get something already built and you and your dad can go racing. (S13, R32, old school R31 etc)

Building a race car is hugely expensive. No build has ever stuck to budget and unfortunatley once you start, your commited lol

As Tocchi, if your on a small budget then drag racing isnt for you.

Maybe look at the MC series, or AEM Speed dome events and stuff like that. There are guys there racing standard type cars. The more hp you look for, the more chance it will go bang and start costing big.

Good luck

thanx guys for your input but as i ask i am looking for arround the 1800 mark... now why will i be asking for a car with no box or motor... because i wont be using them and wtf... do you know that these things take time and why spend 5k on a body when there only worth 2k hmm take a good look at your selves and stop post number bashing....

BACK on track....

thanx mate yea you have a pm.....

tocchi yea man thanx im the gm killer from ford forums if you wana talk bout ur build there but were pritty serious and we know how much this stuff cost... as a ball park fig were both putting in 25k over 2 years and then the fun will start...

honestly, $25,000 can buy you a sweet car thats already built.

eg: my R32 cost me $13k !!! :thumbsup:

why not save up and then buy a ready to go one??

but then again, building a car is an experience... hard to say if its good or bad (we all know about my EF XR6T lol)

$25k will get you a decent way with a build... how fast are you looking to go?

because you can get 11s cheaply, 10s a bit more, but single digit times... yeh bulk coin... if you want, i can PM you a list of my expenses as of 4 months ago (yeh bit slack), but im aiming for 7s/low 8s .. so different paths i think

i so so understand that you guys are trying to help me ay... thats why i posted it hear... Thank you......

just when people say ahh thats low as and dont bother because these things cost money... but i actualy understand that you are trying to help me but to say that when they havent met me ay... and were gona build it not buy a built one... a bit of bonding and as i said.. we dont want to just buy a car then go to the track the next day.... its more rewarding if you do it your self and as we both have high hp fords... there is going to be a ford engine in it lol they make great power for a phoon motor stock and unoped your looking at 400rwkw in a 1100 kg car that thing will do low 10s mabe put a bit of money into motor and running gear and 9s are in sight... tho with the skyline shell anything is possable ... fiberglass is going to be on the front half to get the weight down...

lol this is going to be epic

now thats what im talking about what will that push 850-900 hp love the front chassi

also a clarafication i am on a buget of 40-50k over 2 years no rush and the first lot of 10k is comming form the sale of my old mans runarround..(00 ford fairlane)

I kinda agree with you there Chris. Guys, he asked a question that wasnt really answered. Yeah, he could have added a bit more info into the first post, but you all started flaming about the cost before you realised. Besides, building the car is half the fun, especially considering you two are bonding over it.

Wish I could do this with my dad :D

Good luck man, I dont agree with the motor thing, but thats just me :P

    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
