Looks like a cool build. Is there a power adder I missed? I am just curious based on your qtr mile goals.

Patrick4588

Direct port is jetted for a 300 right now. Car is extremely light.

Do you have a weight Goal? I am starting an Opel Kadett swap and would like to be under 1900 lbs, so I am interested to see how much yours weighs with the tube chassis

Patrick4588

Not necessarily a goal but im making it as light as possible. Lexan instead of glass even. Fiberglass sunroof delete. Aluminum driveshaft etc.
the car stock is 2562, so obviously significantly less than that.

Ahhhh yes, Where 2 begin? 300 shot, lol...Poor car. Low 8's while banging gears is flat out hard with less than 800RWHP

I rarely see cars of this caliber with a 6 speed. Is there a reason your not going auto?

Patrick4588

Essentially what u said, not done often. See if cant make some waves in the stick shift world. My local track has some class racing for just manuals as well. I have a nitrous auto and a turbo auto car already. Can always switch it over if i need to down the road.

Patrick4588

I will get a turbo setup for it eventually, and be dual power adder.

When i did my 3 series ls conversion i used the stock steel sunroof panel and used sem panel adhesive on it. Looked stock when done.

Patrick4588

Just heavier that way. This weighs maybe a pound
