Worlds Quickest Rotaries

[20B_boy]

Exactly, the old stuff with non-IRS rear ends already are ripe for the job pretty cheaply, a stripped RX3 weighs about 3.5lbs doesnt it?!

or you could go for somthing totally different, most of the standard stuff is going to be binned anyway so most 70\'s rwd cars would work a treat

Geff had a KE20 and I very nearly had a 75 Starlet coupe earlier in the year for this kind of thing - but we thought we had better get a few other things sorted first to make room - so the Toyoglide was sold and I didnt get the Starlet in the end. Also, I\'d reallly want a Mazda if I were going for another oldie...

as long as its got a rotary its all good stuff

Hey this has gotten my interest in stuff again. So I did a quick search on e-bay and found one of those new fangled 2 speed autos fully equiped with a transbrake and all the goodies. Fit for 750hp apparently. Anyone interested?? Cant put up a link as am too thick but will be happy to point people in the right direction.
 Also found a fully welded tube frame to suit drag racing application.
 DAMN me living sooo far away from everything.
  Keep up the enthusiasm guys.
  cheers, michael.

I want that turbo:D

I think its a Garret !f****** huge!!!:D model.

RE: Auto Boxes. The C4 auto box is street legal, it was put in alot of Fords from the late 60\'s up until recently, it is used for its strength and durability in drag cars. My 1st car I bought in Australia was fitted with a 5.0 L V8 it  had a Turbo Hydro 400 and a 5k torque converter, i was knocking out over 450bhp. It was completely streetable and legal and I certainly did more than sunday driving in it;) . Not a bad 1st car at 17:cool . Also just thought I\'d mention back home has much tougher laws regarding whats street legal or not than here, more often than not its a minefield, i think the UK is pretty lucky, for the moment anyway!

Abel is running a Garrett GT 55 turbo.
He has just set another fastest 1/4 mile time of 6.764 at 204.35 mph.
