ViperVette Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I figured someone with one of those BTCC RC cars would've won, but yup... you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exexpat Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 and why didn't you just take it to the mill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 and why didn't you just take it to the mill?Because that would have made my daughter cry seeing her future car get taken to be melted down for scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProjectT-5R Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 w/o wheel and suspension it is hard to take to a junkyard. Very hard to get on a trailer. This way all you need is you and a pick-up truckAsk me how I know! Looks like fun slater, my tool of choose was a saws-all with an 14" metal cutting blade.

Slater Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Classic.Plasma Cutter.While plasma cutters are fun, I don't use them to cut up cars (tried it once). They don't do well with multi-wall parts of the frame, like the frame rails, side sills, some of the firewall, all pillars, etc. You end up using the plasma cutter in addition to a sawzall or chop saw anyways, which using both takes you 2xs as long in the long run. The chop saw cuts through it all like butter plus it's quite a rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KS_R Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 When it finally gets put back together my plans are a twin turboed V10 Viper engine w/ a 500 shot of nitrous for spoolup, and AWD. I plan on starting on the project the day before tomorrow. It's going to be my daughter's first car for her 16th birthday.I would think you would go with a VTECH B16 1.7L with atleast N/A cams and a sweet carbon fiber muffler, and some sweet graphics down the side of a random robot looking figure. Thats ture power, none of that "lots of cylinders and nitrous make you go fast bs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
