12 Second Car

[Oldie]

So Im planning my first big auto project. Im going to be making a 12 second car (hopefully).

Now Im looking at different way to do this, and it seems that getting a civic and putting an h22 or something similar is the cheapest/most straightfoward way to do it. Of course im planning to do a full body kit/paint job after. Cant have a car that drives like lightning look like crap.

Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to make an affordable 12 second car?

Hmm. You could get some NO2 and get some mini parts for it. :O

Buy a Plymouth Sundance, 1992, red, manual. Soup up the engine, and win at life.

Interesting idea, but finding one with a v6 is kinda difficult. Besides its not as easy to find parts for as a civic.

True, the next car I'm getting after my Sundance is gana be something that is easily tuned, like a beat up Lancer for like $1500, making it my life to fix up, and race.

Yea, thats my plan as well. I have a 2010 gensis coup, but im not allowed to tune it at all (parents paid for it, so they get to set the rules). Thats why im planning on buying a civic for 1.5k, put in a good engine, turbo it, body kit, paint. Should run me 9k and be a very fun ride.

However if theres any other ideas, that would cost me less and produce a 12 second car, im all ears.

We talking Quarter mile? if so. '71 chevelle, the weight is very balanced. Upgrade the engine a little and wahla.

Get a 94' eagle talon TSI AWD, it'll do 14 seconds stock, all you gotta do is upgrade the turbo and intercooler to get ur time bro.
