Haha, yeah painting the wheels sucked.
I wanted him to use the granite looking and textured paint just for something different.

So what are the plans??? I say upgrade to VR6 6 speed! but that's a lot of work.
VR's are garbage.. lol Its too heavy of an engine anyways.
The car is being built (slowly) to an autox car. So uber light weight. I ran through the truck scales and with me in it, and with a half tank, the car weighs 2000 pounds on the dot. So.. empty it weighs 1706. banana.gif And I want to make it lighter lol..
Im going to stick with the 8v, cause its cheap. I mean.. the mega awesome huge cam I got for it was $210 bucks. A set of mega awesome huge cams for a VR are around $2700... So really.. on a budget race car? I think i'll keep it an 8v. I mean.. It keeps up with Floyd's Tib, it is in no way slow.
So with the 150 whp (thats REALLY easy to get BTW) that i want to make i will have a power to wieght ratio of 9.69. With the built 2.0 that i want to build for it I'll be looking for 210 whp. That will give me a power to weight ratio of 6.92.
So.. a Dodge Viper SRT-10 has a power to weight of 6.7
Evo X has a PTW of 11.18
Audi RS4 has a PTW of 8.6
Z06 Vette has a PTW of 6.3
It will be insanly fast.. like.. head hurting.. and I will only have 8 valves. cool.gif laugh.gif
