Well, judging by the big empty space in the engine bay, I'd guess at 0 HP/0 TQ.

Ha correct stelth01, But it will have around 350ish with a 2jz supra engine

Sweet idea putting in the supra powerplant!

Some wider tires might be in order

Keep us updated with pics, I want to see this monster progress!

Thank you for understanding what I was trying to say. That's pretty nice though. You'll have to autocross it and see how it does. Maybe you can give the current champion a run for his money after you've gotten used to it. He's has a pretty sweet RX-7 with a huge spoiler on it, no one can touch his times.

Him and his damn 3 rotor lol

350 to the wheels will require a frequent buyer card at Discount Tire! Should be a beast though.

Ya pretty much a $1000 set of tires. there almost bran new Z rated Falkens. So what are his times?? all i gotta do is add a big turbo to have that crazy supra power and i can be untouchable haha

^Well, a little more is involved than just adding a big turbo, LOL. But 2JZ motors touch 700-rwhp without even cracking the motor open.......Now driveablitly is another story

That's not quite accurate.

Granted, The Mauro's and their RX7 are absolutely fast- national caliber fast, consistently compete for top honors at local events fast.
But neither is currently regional class champion (finished 4th, admittedly, we have an incredibly competitive region...), nor national champion (finished 5th). These are still stellar results.

There are a number of cars and drivers locally and regionally that can outrun them in raw time.

Again, not taking anything away from them, stunningly fast cool car, stunningly fast drivers (and nice guys).

Give them a run for their money..... that will take some doing.....

Autocross is a blast, you can see how you truly stack up as a driver.. it's humbling.

Havent been on here in a while so i decided to update some of my progress. More money coming in a month!! Will/should be finished in a month and a half hopefully!! Almost have my intercooling piping fabed up. The completley custom wire harness is nearly done $1500 later. The wire harness has set me back a month because of cost and for the fact it took almost 3 months to make :eek:

. Anyways Hope you enjoy. I will have more pics up in a few weeks!!
