This Thread:
I just want to go over somethings here before we really get into this build because each builder is unique in their own desires and techniques. I think it is good to understand the background of a builder and past builds in order to fully understand the most recent. While I am young (at the time of the post, I am 20) I have a been modifying cars steadily since I was 16. I have progressed from a rather exterior mods only FWD family sedan (my rice phase) to a import sports car (BK1 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 track edition) to buidling a full out drag project. Ever since I started toying with cars I loved drag racing. While some see it as a sport without much driver skill and boring, I enjoy the build in itself and how you need just the right parts for better a 60' and designing and engine that can be durable and have just the right combination of torque to get off the line and top end horsepower to finish its way down the track. Needless to say this will be a moderate drag car build as I want to compete in brackets at my local track AND maintain a good but pretty wild street car. I've been doing a fair amount of research and think I have found a good combination without sacrificing the ability to drive on the streets. However, if you have a better way of doing something or have a better idea to achieve the same thing I would gladly like some constructive criticism. Another thing about me as you might have noticed from this as well as other threads is that I like to be as thorough and organized as possible with my builds and modifications. That being said this thread will also be used to document all of the minuscule things I do to my car that most will not care about. The reason for this behavior is that I have picked up on a friend that is the same way with his Audi build. I have learned a lot from him and have picked up on some of the things he's done. This build will also follow one of the quotes he shared that is common on most euro car forums, "Buy nice, or buy twice." While I would like to buy the best things possible for the car this will also be pretty budget friendly as I transfer to get my bachelor's degree this coming fall. All this in mind I look forward to the next post in this thread that will go over the 351w that I will be swapping in to the car shortly. For all that have read this post, I sincerely appreciate it.
Thank you
