Thought this might be an interesting topic to discuss - things that were seen as 'crap' cars or had poor reputations for whatever reason from new - Starfire Commodore, Datsun 200B, EA Falcon etc.
You've got to pick one (or more) of these traditional junk cars and an outline of your ultimate ****box hypothetical project (I've already actually got one - see email signature  )The only rules are no engine conversions, no Barra, no LS, etc you've got to spice up the lump under the bonnet, free reign on transmission. Unlimited spondoolies - budget build or sky is the limit. My pick is the mighty VH Starfire 1.9L 4 cylinder Commodore. My plans would be: Multipoint EFI conversion Sequential ignition Sequential injection Engine management system Garrett GT2052 turbo (discount!) Intercooler Intake 2.5" turbo back exhaust 5sp manual conversion 3.73 final drive LSD in rear Target is about 150KW/wheels. What car would you pick and what are you doing to spice her up for the ultimate hypothetical ****box project? Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 10-09-2020 at 12:39 AM. |
