Hello everyone,

So I've decided that I am going to use a manta montage as my base car to build a fun and fairly cheap sports car. I am thinking I am going to use a TH-425 automatic...

Just need to say thanks again for all the info and if you find anything interesting please let me know.

Thanks alot Sandwich, that was nice of you to come in and contribute albeit late. Do you think there is anyway to strengthen a fiero or audi 5000 transaxle to about 650 hp capacity? I guess I am...

I didn't mean out of date as far as technology is concerned I am talking out of date as in out of time, all things wear over time as more and more stress is applied to them. I am planning on putting...

This thread has gotten rediculous! How can anyone expect to reason someone out of something they were never reasoned into?!? All this talk about top fuel dragsters and road cars is making me sick,...

Well I'm not really planning on spending a "whack load of money" and I don't intend to settle for a transaxle that will not have the capabilities I need it to have. A transaxle from a renault is...

You are perhaps very correct there Matra. Maybe I should consider turning the power down a bit and get back to what was my original goal of awesome handling and great acceleration and braking. Here...

You guys are kinda overlooking a feature of FWD which makes them a wanted comodity. The FWD is great in snow compared to RWD when it comes to front engined cars and since almost every car made in...

Matra, the Vette doesn't get driven in the rain and it DOES drive like it is on rails! I know what you mean about rolling resistance but in america with our big V8's and power plants of all sorts it...

wow, Eggnog, you are also an extremely helpful person! I just can't get over how much positive feedback I have gotten. Do you think that Renegade would simply have the components to beef up a 930...

Seems to me that if you could, as if you had the room, the steering equipment to handle it, and enought power you would want to put wide tires all around to get the most traction possible. I know...

wow, thanks a lot guys, you are super helpful. I know that it sounds kinda rediculous but I don't think that 700HP capacity is going to work, but maybe it will, I guess I could tone it down a bit,...

Well I guess my question now is does anyone know of any Transaxles that can handle around 800HP that can be made to fit a small block chevy V8? This where I am right now and I cant go forward at all...

Matra, I know your right about the live rear axle not working, that was just my original thought when I was thinking about this project. Also I know that an IRS would be the ideal solution if road...

Silver Arrowz,

A VATN turbocharger stands for Variable Area Turbine Nossle this is as revolutionary as the automotive aftermarket gets right here. If you understand a basic turbo set up you have...

well I am planning on taking the car on tarmac roads and DEFINATELY not offroad! lol. Yes I have looked at the Ultima and it was key in my inspiration to undertake this project. I was planning on...

Well I don't think you realize how qualified I am to undertake in this endevour. I am an Engineering student and fully understand all the wonderful workings of the suspension. Also I am not really...

Well I really don't understand why anyone would say that V8's shouldn't be turbocharged. The Ferrari F40 wasn't a good car or something? And also there is a new Bentley in the works that utilizes...

More details huh? well I plan to build a roughly 14 foot long mid engined small block V8 turbo charged car. The emphasis of the project will be on keeping the auto as light as possible to allow for...

HRE will powdercoat their wheels black for you and you can't beat the quality of HRE for wheels so if you have the funds I would recommend them.

15 lbs of boost on a lebaron = major detonation problems if you have not done anything to check for and therefore control detonation, 14 lbs of boost is the limit before detonation on my VR-4 before...

Hello Everyone,

I have always dreamed of designing and building my very own car since I was a little boy. I have decided to sell my VR-4 to begin to pursue that dream. Only I am going to...
