Good point, thats why I'm getting another car just for a weekend driver/ racer. I'm still debating on whether I should get a CRX or a 240sx. All I need is 300 hp in the CRX to run 12s, and a whole lot more in the 240sx. If you had to pick between the two, what would you do?

You need 300hp to run 12s in a 2000lb car?

Launch has something like 250rwhp (I think) and runs 12s in his 240.

Hey Show, this ignore thing is great, you should try it, I can tell by your replies that nothing has changed, but I don't need to be annoyed by his stupid remarks If you really want to, there is a button to click to read his post, but I don't really want to

That definitely crossed my mind a few times. Just not very keen on Mitsu., although the DSM 1 gen is a bullet proof block practically. This car will be driven to the track so reliability is a factor.

If you or anyone you know is looking for a good 1st gen motor/project, pm me. I started to do a 90 eclipse about a year and a half ago and lost interest when I got the Buick. I have a motor with eagle rods, JE pistons, ferrea valves and springs, never been started. I have the whole car, but it's a little rough, would still make a good project though. Just to answer all the questions now, it is a FWD, not AWD.
