I'm puttin a V-8 with nitrous into a 1st gen

Hey, Just kidding. But now that i have your attention. I am a big FC guy

And i have an oppurtunity to get a 1st gen for 500 (canadian) and its got broken water seals.

So i have been thinkin all day, was to STRIP the whole interior just have the seats left just make it a huge track car. Lower it with some stiff springs, strut/anti-sway bars and then for the engine i am not sure what to do. Get a 13b from an FC? and carb it?

But i will paint it and put some RX-7 stuff airbrushed on it. there are already racing seats in it. Get some headers Straight pipe to a HIGH flow muffler.....

any add-ons?

Any Comments?


Thanks Evan

I would do that if I could afford another side project
never drive it cept weekends and what not
bridgeport it and put either a super or big turbo charger on it
strip it to bear metal, no dash, just some guages and a couple seats
