Like most platforms, it's the man and not the machine.... although a willing machine is always a bonus.b

11.8's mean about 120ish mph traps? So going on that the car only weighs about 3200 pounds if you reverse engineer a few HP calculators, not that they're accurate, but it's hard to find 600-700 pounds of stuff to cut out of that chassis. The cars are tanks, pure and simple, I used to troll the MKIII supraforum, pictures of various poles with more damage than cars were common.

I see rediculously good deals for ones needing minor work, usually young kids who bought the car without realizing that a 20 year old sports car needs some refreshing before you can beat on it, especially one with the reliablity of a MKIII Supra

Are almost finished with a b16a civic that wil be running a CT26 turbo with t04E internals.
Should go well, the turbo itself is massive and should hopefully produce the top end power we are after.
Pics up soon
