�

hey i guys i was going thriugh my tivo'ed pinks episodes and the one with the vdub popped up.a whole vw forum all pitched in and built a kick ass car,donating parts and time. i think we should do this. this would be awsome. i even have a shell i will donate for the build. i think we could kick some ass. what do you guys,think? :banana: :banana: :disco: :banana: :banana:
| REX8 | 08-24-2006 12:06 AM |
I'd kick in whatever I had lying around...
| gc835 | 08-24-2006 12:17 AM |

Sure to compete against RnR... yikes. It would be fun.. but to be truly successful you would need a GOOD project manager.
| eazyd123 | 08-24-2006 12:26 AM |
a project manager would do it...we all have parts that we could throw together...what kind of shell do you have infamous???next we need a motor or at least something we could start with...whos got one lying around???
| eazyd123 | 08-24-2006 12:26 AM |
im always down to rip an evo
| evobola-virus | 08-24-2006 12:26 AM |
They were supposed to race the Supra this weekend and air the show pinks next week but it seem like the Supra needed more time after reading the thread that the evo will run 9sec
| InfamousDX | 08-24-2006 12:29 AM |
Read again, I wasn't hte one who had a shell. While I do have a spare 2.5, sorry it's going in another group project car (my car club's). It's going to be hard without heavy sponsorship or tutelege from a hard core Subie shop......
| GotTurbo | 08-24-2006 12:31 AM |
well i got a factory na 2.5 motor sitting in my garage. It seems to be fine for a build up.

I have a good friend in Jersey that met and spoke with Mike Buchello sp? (green mustang that lost the sunroof) and he explained how the show works... They got into the discussion when the subject came up about building a car for the show from his shop... the deal is that pinks will give each team 10,000 to build a car for the show in a short period of time, winner gets to keep both cars... that is why some races are charity races now.. they have now monet to lose just time and effort. I believe the v dub guys used the forum to get parts so they could build a faster car because 10 grand goes along way when you have free parts... we can do it but we need a donor car to cut costs. I have parts I would pitch in as well but getting in contact with pinks is the deal. I am sure they would love a evo losses to wrx show...i mean evo vs wrx. Just some input for you guys

I WILL DONATE A CAR. 98 rs. black. needs a little love. no rust and its already GUTTED. really gutted. but its a start
| gc835 | 08-24-2006 12:44 AM |
10000 bucks with alot of free parts could make one fast gc
| St0k3d | 08-24-2006 01:04 AM |

gutted gc + big v8 + the multistage NAWS :lol: = winnnar
that would fit the budget if you figure labor was mostly free

It was a LS-1 240sx....

I have some spare parts, WRX heads and such... We need the PR guys for this one though... :devil:
| WRXGuyInUSA | 08-24-2006 02:52 AM |
When will people learn that the WRX really isn't a "great" drag car...
Sure... it works... but look at all the time and effort required to build even a 10 second ride....

| deathinacan | 08-24-2006 02:58 AM |
then, we'll build on a budget - If the car really goes through, I'm pretty sure if its going to be built by the right crew, we could get a few companies to donate parts also - including, but not stating that they will donate free parts for certain -
turbo manufacturers
Various japanese performance companies
Paint companies
Nasioc Vendors
..... the bigger part you donate/the more you development you donate with time .... the more exposure your company/business gets - ... its all about the roll call.
definately need a proper proposal made up to give the prospective sponsors a greater idea of how their product would be used and/or advertised...

We would have one mean car if every member donated at $1 or half donated $2. Members that have donated can vote on what parts go on the car, from what vendor, and who will tune it, etc. I would like to have the car more verisatle car then just drag. Time attack, SCC challenge, etc. or even a NASIOC vs I-club battle.

we all know that a wrx is not the "best" drag car but neither is an astro van or whatever that van was on the show. its just for fun and advertisment and just to say we did it. i think it would be cool. if we built it on a budget and really got everyone to pitch in with time or donation of parts and money it could be nice.
| c'dalerider | 08-24-2006 08:37 AM |
Im surprised Crawford would not jump at this chance.
id donate money.
I also hope the theory that the looser gets his car back is true. I talked to my Boss.... i mean busness partner bout this awhile ago and he was concerned about loosing a car, but did tell me he would build a older vw rabbit 1.8-2.0 block (bulitproof blocks) and add like a 200-300 NO2 shot to it, into an old gutted and caged vw rabbit that he has. Loosing that car would not be as bad as loosing a suby.

Are you kidding?
If Pinks actually provides 10g's then a sick gc body car would not be that hard. 10 g's to spend strictly on speed...
Get the car, a older jdm V4-v6 drivetrain (stronger internals stock and a strong enough for 5 runs trans)
Rotated turbo with NOS for fast spool...
Remember, all you need are 5 runs..
Plus, with these types of cars its pretty easy to sandbag, run lower boost, no nos, then keep adding it as you run.
If I had 10g's laying around this would be easy LOL

Do a special auto-x show instead of 1/4 mile, that would be fun to see.
10k towards WRX vs EVO in that would be an interesting competition.

I'd donate money - would love to see this actually happen. I have thought many times about posting up something similar on here, but thought I'd be flamed so decided I best not. Perhaps setup a website where people who wanted to donate could paypal their money?
Also like the show where it was vw vs honda - could/should the cars be ebayed for charity?

i thought the same thing. i thought i was gonna get burned down but im glad to see the response. hey like i said i have an already gutted 98 rs shell im willing to donate to the cause. i even have som tubing for a cage. 13/4 inch dom. like 40 feet. probably need more but...... its a start

i think the real question here is... who gets to keep the new evo when we win :)
| modaddict | 08-24-2006 12:21 PM |
you would probably have to do the build in a place that many people could watch/help out....like the tri-state area or SCIC.
I would donate money....maybe a vf39 :lol:
gt42 +nos and an agressive tuner

i agree either a raffle or donate to a good cause. me. no seriously though thats a good idea. who gets the cars in the end doesnt really matter i just think it would be good for nasioc and the subie community to go and kick some arse. a raffle in the end sounds great or like i said donate to something good

I will donate all the time that i can
and tools that i have
and maybe a garage that we could use for a week or 2 to build it
I would love to see this happen
and i think if we win we should sell the evo and build a better car
who knows maybe challange gadiel :banana:
and im sure we could get a pro tune for free if we agree to put there sticker on our car or something
im sure we could get a lot of stuff for free just for an advertisement on the car
I mean what shop wouldnt lend out a bay to get there name on national tv
problem is where would we build it so we could all take part in it
I nominate tri state area

Ill make list and keep it updated of what people are willing to donate to so we can see what we have and what we need.
I think we should see what we have then ask a shop if they could be part of it in turn for an advertisment on the car
And im sure if we set up a pay pal account people will donate money
I dont see why we couldnt do this without a little organization
And i think the tri state or cali would be the best place to build the car

We need people to post what they are acutally willing to give specifically and not just say well i throw some stuff in because we need to figure out if this is plausable without all guessing parts, I made a list of what people are specifically willing to donate and so far we have
98 rs shelle, bars for a roll cage,2.5 na engine, Wrx Heads and money
I figure that we could get a protune for free from someone and we should consider posting this on other forums for help because guys on other forums probably have parts that we could use

....POWERED BY E98! 1000WHP FTW!
(what would the fuel rules be? They have a more advanced methanol "program" than us.)
Seriously, though---this is quite doable! Has anyone told the EVO forums yet? It might be good to let them know :lol:. If we were to do two old shells between both camps, I think they would use an old Gen1 eclipse. I doubt anyone would donate an EVO.
Would this be a run-what-ya-brung affair or are we both limited to 4 bangers? I think cost would limit us to that, so I doubt a box-6 swap would work out. (Feel free to prove me wrong, though!)

Yea but you need one guy to be the so-called figurehead even if he doesn't have all the power. Otherwise it's a mess dealign with all the stuff... in regard to talking to the show, that is.
Personally I think it's STUPID tough to do. Little things you won't figure... blowing out a rear diff, blowing out axles (DSS axles are $1000 front/$500 rear), gotta find a shop for a cage. I don't think you wanna build a 9 second car... because they you need a better cage, possibly a chute if you trap 145 i think it is.. more and more cost. you really need the support of a shop that has built drag cars before, as most of the competitors on teh show had.
