nick, i am no where near being the other half of the team, my FD is just a fun lil street car i built to cruise arround in, my plans for that car are to run a 10.8 sec quarter mile time, then retire it from racing. that should happen VERY soon. once my FD is retired i will be building a street class TII race car over the winter to compete with Ari and those guys. the other car in joes team is a 3/4 chassis toyota starlet thats running a perif ported REW motor with lots of N2O. the car pictured here will be running a half bridged REW motor with boost
we're trying to have a car competing in every nhra class except pro for the 2004 season.
is FD3Boost (dave) building a drag car that i havent heard about??

i love daves car, and think its one of the prettiest FD's i know, but do you have any idea (i know you do) what it costs to build a competitive outlaw class race car? from chassis work to race tranny, to rear end, to, to, to.............
this car is being built on a budget and mostly all of the work is being done in house (even paint) but its still very costly

yellow doesnt cover for ****, I bet that green did though!
last time I used ChromaBase was on a 2001 38" Outerlimits, it came
from the factory with chromabase, I had to repair the side of it which had graphics on it, ******* basecoat yellow took like 7 coats to cover.
