maxx999 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I would go Japanese no question. Nissan Skyline if you can get one. Try a Lexus sc300 (can get in manual) or maybe a Sc400 and convert to man with supra gearbox or Nissan 180sx/Silvia Turbo are great little light weight things that can get great power (12sec cars), Also Nissan 200sx turbo B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt b Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Throw in a T5 motor in an aircooled VW. It's been done before and it'll blow your mind. And I just happen to know someone who has a spare built motor! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt b Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 What did you ever end up doing with that block I gave you?Funny you ask, I was thinking about it last night.Took it to a first shop in Gainesville to have it stripped and dipped. They were to slow, took it to the indy shop where I went and asked them to start working on it in their spare time. Last I checked, the block seemed to have damage around one of the cylinders, so they were cleaning it up more to see for sure.I should be able to grab it over the next two months an bring it back here.
