This weekend I welded the 1 1/4" tube that locates the rear tranny mount. After that I was able to cut out the left side sheet metal. I have a BIG pile of metal left over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Snag one of the Lexus V8s. 250hp and 260 ftlbs stock. Ditch the crappy exhaust manifolds and free up the intake and you could easily go over 300 with almost no weight.
The suburu problem could be solved with a decent turbo, good exhaust and good intake plumbing. You could get torque without any trouble. A ball bearing turbo with a divorced wastegate and properly designed header and exhaust system would fix all of the problems. For autocross I would look at the Scubby motor. Light and cheap. Good after market. |
