Thats awsome! You have the cleanest 1st gen engine swap ive ever seen. Show and go. How did you get your car to hook up? Im putting a 13bt in mine and want to go drag racing with it but I cant see how im going to squeez some decent drag radials or even slicks back there.

I used 26x8x15 American racer slicks on custom made 15x8 rims!

The car does 1.6 60fts time and time a again, so maybe some more revs off the line and I will crack a 1.5!!

With the custom rims, the offset is fine and they just fit under there!!

That is awsome dude!!!! I think the rest of the forum would apreciate your 1st gen. Not many 1st gens out there that can hand a heavily moded 3rd gen his ***. Good Job!

see, it's the fact that it looks good and goes hard that makes it special

I'm hoping that after this spring I can make the car look good...
then we can work on the going hard part

then maybe I should work on my driving so I can start winning some auto-x's.

OMG, 11.1 I dont think I've seen any strictly race 1st gens doing that time. And yours is a street car.
I wished my car was fast, so I could show them 3rd gens whats up. and my engine would last longer too

When I hit the jackpot ill sponsor you.
What was your reaction time?
