Haven't been on this site in a really long time. But on December 19th I was involved in a accident that totaled my 99 Si. It was a fully built gsr with rmf header and a lot of other goodies. It was 13.5:1 comp and made 202 whp it was a fun car.







But to get to the point. I'm getting about 25k from the accident since it disalighned my back. So I'm looking to build atleast a low ten high 9 hatch. I don't want to buy a dogbox tranny either. So looking for all the suggestions on a good build to do so.

 

Buy a 9 sec car from the for sale section. Done . Close thread

 

You could buy a NICE turn-key low 10 second car for half of that price. To build it from scratch with new parts would cost you a lot of money. If you're dedicated to building it on your own my suggestion would be to find SFWD part outs in the marketplace and get parts that way. You will also save a lot if you do the labor yourself and limit the amount of time it spends at a shop. Also, don't spend all that money on a car... Material possessions come and go, your health is important forever.

 

Not looking to spend all the money. I'd rather build it myself it's not the same if brought

 

It's funner if bought less work lol. Saw on Craigslist the other day 8k for a 700whp hatch I couldn't believe how cheap these cars are now.

 

Everyone always says that. I regret it. I mean don't get me wrong, the process is fun...but it saves you so much time/money.

 

i say buy a car change some things up even if small like powder coat, paint. it takes a lot of money to build cars from the ground up and i think you might be suprised how fast money will disappear into the car.

 

I know I've been boosted before and it cost bread so I know what I'm getting into

 

I kind of agree with the statements made here. Ive built my own from the ground up. But if I did it over again, I would at least find a really nice shell that had some nice parts to start with. Or a T/K car, and maybe redo a few things. You could sell some of the parts to fund the replacing parts.

 

Looking for a good build. I want to do full gsr boost but what should I do for rods and internals

 

You could always buy a Track ready shell for cheap and build the motor yourself that way u save alot

 

Bro I wish you the best with your new build but I hope you find a new tuner 202 HP on a fully built b series with 13.5.1cp is low even on pump gas

 

AT LEAST BUY A CHASSIS ALREADY DONE! leave the engine bay to "you" so "you" know what kinda power you want to make. starting from scratch you gotta have patients. im 3/4 done after 2 years and alot more money spent starting from scratch.
