well Im kinda leaning at a s13, weld the diff and get started there I have many plan's already and I would like to find a DOHC KA to rebuild Im sure they are around and not to hard to track down but I kinda like the s13 body for some reason or maby a coupe...Im not sure but Im am sure it will boil down to what the cost of the shell is going to be....so if you know of somone that has a rolling shell for cheep let me know
thanks

emperor style chassis prep - weight reduction, and simple chromoly roll bar
S13 rack, spindles, custom front lower control arms, 88+ z31 front core support, s13 rear crossmember, 5 lug conversion, nismo 2 way diff.
VQ35 out of a 350Z. Nismo R tune cams, headers, jim wolf intake, and a kinetix or some sort of intake plenum. 2005 VTC on intake and exhaust as well. Maybe shaved heads and higher compression, as wellas arp rod bolts to make it spin 600 rpm higher than normal. AEM or some aftermarket management with a real throttle cable type setup. Z32 Transmission with a spec custom clutch
The car would probably make 280-300 horsepower to the wheels
put it on some nice 17 inch wheels with some V700 rubber or Neovas or MX's
i think it would make a very nice autocross or solo1 car, and maybe even ability to drift it would be neat.
but i miss the z31s.

You can pick up older Subarus (1st gen Legacies, GLs, XTs, etc) for under a grand and rwd conversion is as simple as welding a diff and removing front axles (although there are ways to convert and keep the front axles in as well). I'm biased from having a drift-a-liscious BC Turbo Wagon, but Subarus are overly tough and have a lot going for them:
Good balance (symetrical design)
Mad torque (at least from the 2.2 and 2.5 motors)
Long wheelbase (103+ in)
Parts interchangability (the same basic technology in all models up through around '95)
Good steering angle
Good Polar Inertia (engine over front axle, plenty of body over rear axle)
A GL or XT would be one hell of a sleeper drift car too
If you want to go the beaten path/tried and true/boring route, at least do something somewhat origional, like a Ute S13 or a SOHC block/DOHC head with twin Webber side draughts or Keihan FCRs or something...

I know of a 1G for 500 bucks, needs a new hydro tranny line, new motor new trans, guy wants it gone. It already has a welded diff and racing beat exhaust and revs past 8k. The guy held it for me for almost 6 months for a project I was doing, but my destination car got in a wreck.
The Carbed 13b of the 1G makes for a pretty flexible powerband and you aren't battling the turbo to feel throttle response. They also weigh a just a little more than the Corolla and have live axle rear end which makes for pretty predictable breakaway. I wouldn't poo-poo a 1G until you're really put it through its paces.
How can you pass up $500 drift car of any type?
