Basic maintenance is always a good place to start.

Brakes, suspension, engine tune up and fix any leaks.

A compression test on the engine to determine it's health wouldn't hurt.

What are your plans for the "Build" race, power, reliability, fuel economy?

What is your budget?

I appreciate that man,my budget is unknown lol I work part time and go to school, so my pay checks Go into the car. I know I can't do everything right away but I'd like to build a plan for what I am going to do first all the way through the end.

OK.. so limited budget, that can be done!

What are your end goals? I understand all too well about long term builds ..... So I assume that you are talking about building it in stages.

So Are you looking to go forced induction (boost/turbo) or keeping it Naturally Aspirated (All Motor)? That really depends on what the actual goal is for your chassis. Daily driver, weekend track car or dedicated track car? If it is a daily driver, low ans slow or street strip. It a dedicated track car, drag or circuit?


There are a lot of things you can look into before you start your build. Having a long term plan is an great way to save money. Hard part is keeping focus on your goals! Set them and try to stick to them!
