DriftingDJ, Lets see here... First I'd kill the 4 wheel steering. You'll need an LSD better than a viscous; maybe a quaife or a clutch-type that doesn't shudder. Still in the rear, replacing all the bushings with a combination of spherical bushings and poly to get accuracy without harshness. You'll probably want brakes in the Brembo gran turismo league.

For power, upper 400's should be enough. Something slick in the turbo department (thermal coating, v-band, GT series, etc) would probably impress the nerds. Clutch selection is anyone's guess, but a hyper single wouldn't be enough. Don't forget that you'll be graded on driveability, so something crazy might not be the best idea. Going with a Z32 trans would score some technical points and be cost effective.

The part that people seem to be missing is that this car has to bling, too. I would enter no less than Charles' or John car and expect to do well in that category. They might also want to drop a few G's on a nice stereo as well. AC is a must. There are a lot of categories that don't involve going fast. It goes without saying that there should be a full interior with carpet in there. I'd put a minimal cage in it just for the stiffness, but make sure that grandma can still get in it. A nice passenger seat would seal the deal.


what do you guys think?
