Best Touge Car?

[RED350z]

Pikes Peak hillclimb is not all unpaved, only a portion of it. most of the bottom part is paved.

But to appese the masses i will change what i want to a

Lotus Elise, Hardtop.

I'd put a 5-point harness in it so it counts as "a mod."

The own teh touge

i think thats the going "hotness" for the touge

You still don't really know what the Escudo really is do you?

To appease the masses you're just going to copy what I posted as the ultimate touge car.

ultimate touge car = doesnt exsist.

what makes a car great is the driver....unless the car is a driving heap..ie crashed to much frames shot strutural damabe ect. there is no one great car...sure there are several great cars...but the only thing that makes a car a car is the driver. if you dont understand that...go back to the dmv and give them your license back.

Dam, got to give it to you, car does not make the driver, the driver makes the car

i think when he originally said escudo that he was referring to the Escudo race vehicle and not the stock one. i'm not sure if that's what he meant or not, but that what i took it as ... to be honest that's the only Escudo i had ever heard of (prob. b/c that's the only one worth mentioning) until someone said it's the same thing as the vitara ... then i looked it up. i honestly never new that suzuki had an escudo street vehicle. i just thought that was the name of the race car/truck (whatever it is). oh well you learn something new every day! LOL

but yeah, the smartest thing that's been said was:

when was the last time you were up there? its mostly still gravel, theres only like 3 maybe 4 miles of pavement on the 11 or so mile road...so its still like 3/4 dirt...but thats gonna change, specially since there prolly wont be a IPPHC next year...and they are making it *Censored**Censored**Censored* by paving even more...its retarded...i mean sure, if it was paved w/ guardrails it would make like the king of all american touge runs, but if that means getting rid of one of the oldest anual races in the world, then i say to hell with that

for my fav touge car, i say either hachi roku or s ichi san...both rather small wheelbase, rwd, and lightweight, makes for an awsome handling car, but it all depends on driver like drifterlunchbox said

[driftex]

a black RX-7 turbo II FC3S, with a simple body kit, white 17"x8" & 17"x9" gram lights 57c, tein w/ EDFC or kei office GX coilovers, secret element arms, stainless steel brake lines, new brake pads, 13B tuned to 300-350 hp with high response turbo, momo monte carlo steering wheel, Bride zeta II driver seat, sabelt harness, 4 or 6 point roll cage, new head unit and upgraded speakers,

[JonnySlick]

you know what the best modifications are you can make for a touge car?



1. Practice
2. Personal Training
3. Self (Driver) Improvement


it doesn't really matter what car or parts you have on it. if you suck as a driver, then you suck!

Well first I would start with an 86 something along the lines of my old one, same suspension at least and body. Then move on to spend about $20,000 putting in an S2000 motor with a new headgasket to raise compression, run some ITB's with a standalone computer and cam gears, aftermarket header and a Greddy DD exhaust so it will push out about 270hp. After which I would add on a CF hood, CF fenders, CF doors and CF hatch with a lexan window. Strip down the interior and add a Cusco 6pt rollcage and custom weld 2 extra bars to make sure that in case of an accident I dont get killed cause im running CF doors. Then with the $10,000 I just saved I will take the whole board out to lunch, for a week. Now tell me what is more ultimate than a car pushing out nearly 300hp and weighing less than 2000lbs with driver.

[driftex]

that would be pretty sweet, but how about an FF car. i was thinking an EP3 Civic in Championship white, stripped, carbon hood and hatch,Enkei RPF1 16"x7.5" up front with 16"x7" in the rear, RSX type R brakes, Momo monte carlo steering wheel, recaro SPG seat, Sabelt harness, a nice cage, Tein suspension w/ EDFC, Motec engine management, exedy clutch & flywheel, Type R transmission, upgraded LSD, and as far as an engine i'd put in the K20A2 that was in Sport Compact Car. around 300 horsepower, 215 ft. lb. of torque. it has huge cams, stroked to 2240cc w/ JE pistons and titanium rod, custom header, and ITBs. oh and i'd have a 2.5" side exhaust. this thing would deffinatley have to be touge only, deffinatley couldnt drive this thing on the street.

[Darthfoci]

400+ hp/tourqe no turbo/supercharger

600lbs lighter than a Mustang Cobra.

[tsuji_kid]

sileighty

Apexi N1 Evolution Cat-Back Exhaust System
Rays Payton Place 18x8
HKS Valve Springs
HKS 64 Camshaft
Blitz SUS Power Air Intake Kit
Jun Flywheel
Nismo 2-Way LSD
Tein Super Drift Coilover Kit
SR20DET RED TOP

these are just some parts i had in mind for a while.

If I had fifty thousand dollars to blow, I would get a stripped out first generation 911. With lighened engine parts and a free flow intake and exhaust system, seam wielded frame, roll cage and I would still have twenty thousand dollars left over to travel to France, the swiss alps, and stelvio pass to drive it and have fun.

Edit:Then again, I can always buy the Arial Atom and have fun with that. But going on a gran touring trip through Europe on something that doesn't have a roof nor a boot to keep my stuff, not such a good idea.

[cfrost]

screw all that noise i'd pick up a lotus elise and spend the rest of the money on stickers

Okay, fine, what would you say to a Gemballa Avalanche? With 800 bhp and nearly 800 wheel horse power, because the Carrera chassis distrubutes horse power so efficiently. The interior is stripped out but is still comfortable enough to go on a gran touring trip. You will need to be very talented to be able to drive that car at even half of it's potential.

[Neo_Drift]

I would be fine using as little money as possible.
i would have a 240sx with a 280z front end.
I'd upgrade and tune the suspension.
drop in a sr20de. (not turbo. i like the smoothness of the na)
get a good lsd.
some good wheels and tires.
exhaust.
I'd tune the sr20 for close to 300hp. that's more than i'll probably ever need.
upgrade the clutch, drive shaft, motor mounts.
relocate the battery to the trunk, and do other weight reducing and balancing things.
put in a racing seat or 2 with a cage and 4point harness.

pretty much your average good, but not superpowered drift car.
I like them like that, and that's all i want.

I just want something fast and something that has hard enough suspensions that I can feel and enjoy the road with.

That might be a little over $50,000 including the price of the car...lol But it would be one hell of a Touge monster.

Why coilovers? Separate springs and shocks are better.

How about a smart roadster shell with a stiffening roll cage, stiff springs and the engine and trans-axle from a GT3 RS. 415 brake horse power revving up to 8.4k, and would only weight half a ton. Now THAT'S a touge monster.
