K, I already posted something like this, well, quite a while ago. But first off, I have a 93' buick lesabre, yes a lesabre I know. Everything is in good condition mechanically and all cept I got into a nice little accident and bent the front axle and possibly messed with the tranny a bit. Now, I am going to fix this car and plan to actually, well make er' quite nice for racing and all. And well, it's going to be a sleeper. No I'm not tryin to be like a ricer either lol. If I wanted to do that, I'd get a civic and put a new exhaustsystem on it and put an AEM sticker on teh side. But instead, A- this is gonna be a partial show/speakers and go car. I'm thinking of getting a new speaker system for starters, taking the back seat out and putting a coupel subs in it's place possibly. But back to mechanical stuff. It has GM's 3800 engine. It's not the supercharged one sadly =( though I get gas mileage like it would be, but that's all good. Currently just from original specs it's got a 170hp engine, forgot torque, but after it gets out of 1st it's, eh, decent. First thing I waa thinking of doing, being the tranny may be out of commission, putting a manual in, but iono. Next would be a turbo, seen on epair that seemed decent, it was a pair that went where a muffler is, so no muffler. I would think of a supercharger, but well, I'd rather gain avg. gas mileage then loose it. Currently though, I don't have the *** to fix it, so I'm also thinking of getting another temp. or possible keeper. There's an 86' toyota tercel asking $400. I don't think I'll go to $400 cause personally, that's a lil' much. I haven't tried it, only looked at it and such. I can't find any info on the car so I was wondering if, well this'd be a decent car to get to doing some simple racing. Its a manual I'm perty sure, forgot if it's man. or auto on the floor. But if it is man. you guys think I should give it a call? Unless of course I can possibly get my car(the lesabre) fixed as a christmas present =D ...

Any thoughts on the tercel? I'm not thinking of getting it anymore cause of insurance and such, but I was looking around and seen that soem guys race with em' at the track but these are basically completely rebuilt dragsters that basically just have the tercel body lol. But I did see someone here post, saying that a 92' caravan can run 13's which is perty good. And I'm wanting a sleeper that, well no one will think can stomp on them. Also anyone know how much a person would have to do if I were to find the gem that is the 89-90 caravan to get er' goin 13's or 14's even? Cause by the looks of it they didn't run those times stock lol... http://www.dragtimes.com/Dodge-Caravan-Timeslip-5221.html http://www.turbovan.net/van.html

yea, 89-90, my bad. I may look around for one possibly then. Won't be driving it yet most likely, but that'd be so cool to be able to show up half the ricers at school with their civics and such. Soem are decent I'll admit, but, well regardless, it's a civic. My friends don't beleive me though that it can run a 13 fairly easily, o well. If I'm able to get one, WOW, blow their minds lol.I'd even be mildly happy with a 14sec van.

Yea, I'm gonna try get out around town being my current car(the lesabre) is currently at the mechanic cause I'm not sure if I'll have the time/smarts to repair it in its current state. But yea, I really really want that van right now. And yea, I half way am paying my own insurance, only 16 right now so yea. I get some help, and hopefully I'll get some help fixing the buick, hopefully.
