Looks like i'm done selling parts off my red car. I've decided to build it up instead.

I'm totally open to suggestions, advice etc.

It's gonna be a drag car so no holds bared.

Bare bones badassness .

I need a roof first off. R1 or base model. No sunroof, that weights to much https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Then I can go from there. Im looking for any type of help/ sponsors.

It will be titled as the nopistons.com car. So it needs to live up to its name.

I am short an engine so people let me know if you hear any good deals.

Well, you'll need **** load of air dam gap, so a nice wide front bumper is a good first choice as to the clothing. Your rear fenders would have to be expanded to fit some huge slicks since this will be an all out drag car. A roll cage of course. You won't need anything in the interior besides gauges and a sweet racing seat. So, get rid of any sound proofing left on there (if any?), and see if you can get a nice lexan or acrilic (sp?) back window. Your front windows are unnecessary too. Get the fuel tank out and mount a nice 5 gallon cell in the trunk. That's all I can think of now. LOL
