you will need more than just that for me to consider any donations. sorry(too many never to be finished projects wind up here, if it were close and you needed odds and ends i would be less hesitant).

i will give you some technical advice when/if you need it, so long as you don't turn into a stray cat.

other than that, welcome to the club.

smerph-fc

Thanks rotary evolution i might ask you a few question now and then. I totally agree with you though too many people get in over their heads, it's just not realistic if I were to expect this project to get done within a year or two. This project needs too much right now for me to even consider the odds and ends of it. Priority is to get major components handled first then work my way down. The roll cage is my first priority so if any one has some scrap metal or short dom tubing that noone needs or wants I could use it for the base plates and practice.

sinCITYseven

A basic drivetrain to start with would be best. Suspension next. (Since ur drifting) pickapart has some 4 port 13bs last time I checked

smerph-fc

Drivetrain is the last on my list as it will require the most time to set up the way I want and tune it I plan on doing a 13b from a 3rd gen and upgrade internals and do a nice porting job on it, to me the chassis is the most important part on building a track car I've destroyed more engines then I have cars on the track lol I'm in no real hurry to get it done just a weekend track car project lol

sinCITYseven

Nice! Start a build thread

smerph-fc

I'm thinking I'm gonna do that in the next couple of days as I get more pics and work done

BStarr

Hey smerph fc hows it going, im located also in vegas in you need any help or advice with this project.

BStarr

I use to be really deep into fc rx7 but now I just got a fd here so I have alot of parts laying around if you need anything especially with a build like this let me know I have what you need and Ill be more then glad to just let you have the parts since there just laying around. let me know :]

smerph-fc

Thank you very much, it is much appreciated. I love FD's but I can't afford the price tag and would be too afraid to wreck it
