I do like the mk3 but I find it not as cheap or easy to get parts for like some other makes. Granted if I went against the grain I will need custom parts. As for Hondas, I would rather not. I do not feel any joy or originality in them. Plus they come with the lovely gift of having every cop you looking for a reason stop you once the see or worse hear your Honda. If I build a H car it will be probably an Accord sedan. Something akin to the Euro R.

Actually in a front wheel drive vehicle the front wheels transmit the engine's output to the front wheels. A wing generates downforce over the rear wheels. It should be pointed out that this is only at speeds where the airflow traveling over the wing excedes that traveling beneath it. This however comes at the cost of increased drag coefficient. Something that would not be beneficial at all to a front wheel drive car unless it was capable of oversteering, and hardly of any use for the form of motorsport in question. If one were inclined to add any aerodynamic aids to a front wheel drive, I would recommend a spoiler set instead.

What kind of time does the Sentra run? What can I do to one, keeping it naturally aspirated while not using nitrous? How much do parts cost?
