Cheapest 10 Second car.

[Baz]

What would in your opinon be the cheapest way to build a 10 second car.

The only rules are:

- Cost of the 10 second car must substitute in the cost of the car and the mods.

- No major weight reduction mods

- No blown carburettored V8's

In my opinon I believe the GSR Lancer would be the best candidate for building a 10 second car as its a relatively cheap car to buy, 4wd and has an abundance of aftermarket kits to build on it.

Old mazda 808 with a 13BT and old school T04, microtech, shortened 9inch, supra 5 speed and custom tailshaft with 8 inch slicks jammed under the rear end with some suspension work.

Total cost would be about 17k including car

Definately Datto 180b with an SR20.

I am up with that for sure the cheapest way to build 10sec package is just the way hes said, but put a T66 (with large exaust wheel) on instead of the T04

Mate is almost finished with his 13bt in 1300 wagon with the large port work and the T66 i cant wait till its run in and i get to have a go

nah a might boy ute with sr20det, with t88 strapped to it, and the biggest slicks you can fit to the thing...maybe think of tubbing the rear end becuase it like a micro car..

cant go past the old rotary

brap brap brap

[Morgs]

100% can't go past a rotor!

[mass_iv]

for sure a rotor, chuck a worked 13bt in a series II rx7!!!!

[predator]

getting 10's from a GSR lancer.. including the car? don't think so.. Good little package, but once you want to go from those 12's to 10's.. massive changes required..

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

I know you mentioned no blown v8s but the cheapest is definately a vb or vc commodore.

-THe car= $1000 in pretty good cond

- Motor= $4000 308 with a stroker at least 355

- Tranny=$3000 tricked up manualised auto

-Diff= $2500 9 inch with 4 link setup

- Wheels/tyres and miscalaneous= $2500

All up $13000

ANd if you want to go injected, add another 2g.

But rotary was my second choice its just the base cars are worth alot these days!!!

Look in local trading post, search for the words 'fully' and 'sick' and buy the VT Turbo for 10k which already does 10's on slicks

Has anyone had experience with rotaries on this forum?

Sti motor in a brumby is another interesting build

[Dahtone Racing]

i havnt owned one but i have had experience with some quick rotaries

getting subarus in the 10s is very very hard

[BHDave]

My last car was a series 4 rx7, cost me more in maintenence than in mods

[Dahtone Racing]

street cars are different to 10 second race cars

race car has a fresh engine and drive line and if its taken care of from day one you wont have the problems other rotary owners have

[scottman]

yea i knew a guy with a rx2 with a 13b in it it wooda been near 10s and it was cheap for him motor was 6k worked off its tits then shell was just about nothing nothing

then he got a r100 and put the motor in that

other guy i know has a V8 in a Ford Capri its a ex drag car does 11's had huges wheels on the back and motor coming out the hood

if he superchargers it it will do 10's

Go the rotor in a lite car

[Mulkers]

I had an issue of Zoom a while back, and it had a '9 Sec car for under 9 grand'

It was a capri or escort, with a 351. Can't remember details though

[dangerous_daveo]

The other cheapish one would be a 1GGTE with a big turbo, good tune, in something small. The stock bottom ends are unreal. To get a bit more go out of them use a supercharged bottom end, as they are 0.5 compression ratio higher, and can still cop massive amounts of abuse. Full motor would be about $700-1000ish now?

But yeah, carby V8, cheap as, or Rotor. 10sec car isnt that hard, but a reliable street driveable one is a bit more of a trick.

[IOWNU]

Rotarties are the go........very responsive to mods, but also very high maintenance.

ATM i've got a Series 5 13BT RX7.......although its pretty much sold as I can't be stuffed with it....lol

[always_me]

just buy my gtr ill do you the best deal ever.
