Want to get a jump start on your project? Just come and buy mine, that will give you a hell of a start. I just dont have time to fool with it anymore.

 

From what I understand, yeah thats a 1:1 regulator. As for the coils, theyre included with the ECU, but I suppose I could just go snag some FC coils from a yard if theyre gonna be "better". The widebody is planned because Ive got a good deal lined up for one so I can actually afford it, and I need to replace one of my fenders, and my bumper cover anyway. Besides, Ive always kinda liked them . And you know, last night I was thinking about the wheels, and I think Im gonna go with something different. Im thinking something 16x8 for the widebody, and Ill just sell the Michelin Pilots that I have for the 17x7 wheels and use the money for something else, lol. Hell, they were free, so anything more than that is profit
How much are you looking to get from it? Oh really? Way more than I could afford? Oh, ok . I actually would LOVE to buy a completed car like yours Mike, because then I could have the car done, yet still enjoy slowly building my car up to what I want it, but with a NA ported engine instead. But, unless you take LOTS of payments, I dont think I could ever afford it .

Building your own car is more fun than buying one thats already done IMO. As for brakes, if you think you'll be fine then go for it. Personally that just stuck out like a sore thumb when looking at your list. Good luck dude.

 

Well, thats why I was talking about buying Mikes, but still building mine .

Well, it looks like Im gonna need low 12 second to mid 11 second 1/4 mile times to make my project live up to its name...

1998 Dodge Viper GTS-R

2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10

Looks like Im gonna need about 350 RWHP or so... I can make that happen, I KNOW it .

sounds like a plan to me tj....how much hp do you have right now? im going to be looking in to buying a new engine pretty soon and was thinking about going with a setup similar to your present one. maybe i could by yours........

 

Heh, you mustve missed the news bro. My car was stolen and stripped. I have no HP . I would guess that it was close to 130 at the wheels though.

8k cash , car in primer, and we'd have a deal

 

Hmm, its not as bad of a price as I expected, but still more than I can afford. By the time I get the settlement Im expecting, Ill most likely have the rest saved. So, if its still for sale then, Ill think about it .

Or, Ill end up deciding to just build mine. Hell, its hard to plan things so far in advance. I have a general idea of what I want to do, but so many things can change between now and then its not even funny, lol. Im just gonna play it by ear and aim for my Viper Killer goal, and see where I end up, lol. Baby steps...Baby steps.

I think Im gonna buy the supplies to paint the engine bay soon, so that will be done and out of the way. After that, I think Im gonna build the sub box and amp rack for the back hatch so that when I buy all the wiring to redo the electrical system and relocate the battery, Ill know how long I need my wires to be. Then, Ill buy the wiring to relocate the battery and re-wire the electrical system (starter, alternator, fuseable links, etc) using all new wires. Then, Ill probably start on brakes or suspension...Who knows.

8k would be a good deal, I know he has a ton more into it

 

I know its a GREAT deal, but I dont have the cash otherwise I would jump on it . Oh well, back to my plan of slowly building one over eons, lol.

~T.J.

PS - How the hell do you spell "eon"? Is that right? If so, thats a funny *** looking word...

 

Yo... hey man don't think cars is a bad investment... they make you happy and it's a direct proportion to how much time and money you have in them... unlike that stupid bitch over at Taco Del Mar...

What the hell are you talking about?

Congrats on the new job T.J.
You say your working at BMW, right?
I just started at Halifax BMW last month.

 

how much u reackon all tha list is going to cost u?

 

ACK! why does everyone wanna steal my wheels


ha..

Anyway, sounds liek a killer project.. Let us know how it goes, and take tons of pictures...

Your wish list sounds just about identicle to mine, minus the mode 1...

What turbo are you planning to run?

 

Say it ain't so, Mike... are you really getting out of the rotary life after all you've got invested in that little rocket?

 

No he isn't, he's all talk. I don't think it's possible to want to sell a turbo FB after driving it. He just needs to take it out again so he'll feel all warm a fuzzy inside it's been too long.

 

Congrats on the new job and upcoming project. But if you'd like to save time as well as money, just put a V8 into it. I raced a Viper GTS on the highway from roughly 55 to 120mph and pulled him by at least 3 car lengths, not alot, but respectable from a stock looking FB making approx. 300HP at the wheels. Just an idea. Good Luck!

 

Good luck withthe new job... just don't go and get tempted by a Z3 or a Z4 !!!!

 

I will personally be inpressed if you can build a 13B to run to 180 with a Viper. That's a good 400hp motor at least. I can't wait to see it when it's finished.

 

400hp isn't hard to get with stock ports if you ditch the stock turbo for a larger one.

 

400hp isn't hard to get with stock ports if you ditch the stock turbo for a larger one. Making the car run to 180 is a different story.
