Budget Builds!

I want to see some fast cars on a budget. Paint and body work is of little concern. I want to see some home fabrication and DIY handywork. Low key sleepers are welcome… :ninja Please post pics, dont be shy

I went 12.89 @ 106+ with about $100 worth of performance mods (intake/MBC/boost gauge).

;D

stealthy cars like that honda are the best

:confused

well, you look at it, its “just a honda civic” but you hgo up against it and it blows ur doors off. versus the fast and the furious looking cars.

I wouldn’t say a Honda is anything Stealthy. I fear basically none except the turbo ones and then I check the tires. If street tires, I laugh. However, a properly set up Honda is very dangerous given their ability to make power and have no weight. Interesting that they seem to run 15-17 or 10-11. So either I care or don’t care at all.

I love the hidden turbo set up. Globe should post more pics of those cause they are so :ninja. It might not be the best performing set up but it looks stock and would surprise the shit out of you if you didnt know otherwise. I want to buy a honda just to do that.

Reckone should have some pics…

The craftsman ship on that car is crap. Interesting idea though.

I was thinking that too, but it does fit the ‘budget build’ category

budget = may not look great

What does it matter? You cant see it anyway.

Its not hard to clean it up a bit, not necessarily the engine bay but the welds and all that. I bet it would perform better with just a bit more effort.

Built my turbo setup myself…started out with a budget kit and then upgraded everything as I got money…

wish i had pics of my DSM from years back. 92 tsi awd 6bolt motor, bone stock when i got it just needed a clutch. 500 bucks later i had it running w. a 6puck clutch. I think for “performance” mods i spent about 1500-2000 MAX and the car hauled ass like there was no tmrw. Id love to pick up another one but there all crazy $$ and beat

2k total investment and runs low 10s restricted by turbo.
