Yea so i heard today that i have to be at formula D in july to compete. The race is at sears point, and is a pretty big deal. Theres only one problem. My car.

My car is currently all the way apart in my garage. When i say all the way apart its really all the way apart.
No motor
tranny
ecu
wiring
dash
seats
roll cage
suspension
subframe
cross member
gas tank
windshield
front and rear body panels.

We removed everything to rebuild the car for D1 qualifying.
I didnt know i had this event coming up. Anyways...
I still have to do the following.
Re build or find a new motor.
New turbo
injectors
computer
install fuel cell
weld onto the cage (door bars, braces)
Get a new helmet
driving suit
gloves
driving shoes
5 point harness instead of my 4 point
make aluminum door panels (we hollowed out the door)
Make a rear fire wall for the fuel cell
get fuel cell lines. (stainless)
Get tires
new windshield
paint the interior
new clutch and flywheel
get a new battery
fix the fenders and put the front end on
get a new s15 hood
etc.

If anyone has a shop that wants to sponsor a awsome car, for advertising. Or if anyone wants to help out with the car at my house.
Or if you have any parts i may need please give me a call or email me.

Thanks Luke

If it's that important why don't you just cancel out some of the things on that list? Just get the suspension and wheels on, then make sure it runs. Everything else will have to wait if competing that important.

Luke,

Best of luck in getting the car running in time for Formula D. Honestly, I'd just say fuck that event altogether and concentrate on D1GP Qualifying.. but thats my opinion.

Why doesn't Rishie help you out? :P

How am i irnorant? I said "CAN you" not "you can't". Learn how to read. No never seen him drive personally don't care... It was just something to think about on his part. Why waste all that time trying to build a car and he is just an "ok" driver.

Chris. Could i come look at the motor?

Also I wouldnt be attempting this event unless i thought i had a decent chance of doing well, and unless my sponsors wernt asking me to do so.

I would really like to just focus on d1, but gotta do what i gotta do.
Also i will be working on the car every night at my house if anyone wants to help.

Thanks for all the support guys.

Well my motor had a stripped oil line, so i thought i was going to need a new block, and so I got that one. But it took so long to get I decieded to attempt to fix my oil line with a heilicoil. it ended up working. No leaks as of today 2yrs. So that longblock has been sitting around. I was planning on doing a build up, but that doesnt seem like it will happen anytime soon. It is somewhat taking up space, so I figured I might as well get rid of it.


The condition of internals should be just fine. It was a longblock chosen by this one guy that he was gonig to use so he can race with it. He doesnt like to rebuild motors. So it should be in perfect condition.

Luke,

You'd be buying the one w/o the helicoil in the turbo oil line hole thing.

The "good" longblock is not in his car.
