That was my thought Timm. Club owned. Trip permits are $25, you can print them online now I think.

Not sure about total newbs, but maybe a newb with a seasoned co-driver.

As one of the total newbs, This is how I'd hope to get involved. If I'd go in for $100/whatever, At some point (AFTER they who put actual time in the car) I'd like to be able to use it as a way to get some exp by Co'ing, etc.

I figure its like paying to be part of the cool kids, i suppose...

Enablers, All of you.

I can throw in free brakes

Sounds like a great idea! i would love to help

While we are on the subject..... Would there be any interest in putting together a similar car on the east coast?

My daily life is a Saab story (sold!)

I'd also love to contribute for the opportunity to co-drive. My car time is so very limited, the audi is likely never to get finished. I do however finally have a motor and trans in the car and have started wiring.

Don't give up ot will happen.

Sounds like a great idea. I would give a nudge-nudge to building a Honda.

Get an B18b (LS) or B20b (CR-V) motor, slap on a B16 trans (3.23/2.105/1.458/1.107/.848) and put a straight cut 4.9 final drive on it from GearX. Top speed will be ~116mph @7000rpm in 5th. Put that in any Honda Civic from 1992-2000 or Integra from 1992-2001. George Douganis can help with mirror of his Bilstein suspension specs for a $1500 setup that will work well. If Paul is throwing in free brakes that would be even better but you can just use OEM integra brakes and be perfectly fine while allowing the car to run on 14" and 15" wheels.

Motor <$800
Trans $300
Final drive $500
Suspension $1500
Donor Car <$2000
Disc brake conversion $200

You'll have 1.8 or 2.0L of torque to work with, no VTEC so less wiring issues, ~140hp to play with which is fine when combined with the gear ratios, good suspension travel, nice low curb weight, and plenty of parts available both OEM and aftermarket on the cheap.

I am this summer with my spare Integra I have sitting in my garage. Although, it's going to be an LS/VTEC motor and will be my girlfriend's toy to play with when we go to track days, it will be our recce car on events we drive it to, or back up car for when I crash the Civic again.

Sounds like the PNW and midwest club cars are picked out. What you guys over on the east coast going to build?

Don't really know if my car will effectively be the central/midwest club car. It's probably not going to be caged this year and just get the engine/trans over the summer when I swap motors on the Civic.

My girlfriend and I call the integra our pickup truck because it's got nice rear space when the hatch is open and we used it for hauling just about everything from tires, sheets of aluminum, picking up a 46" TV, etc.

But once it got a rusted fuel line it's been on jack stands and I bought a Mazda2 to replace it, and I hate working on cars I don't need to from October-March in Michigan.

I'll have an '81 spare diff for a volvo 240 in about a month I can contribute. I also have a spare m46, and a few other odds and ends I'll donate.

Important things first: This car will definitely need a giant rally anarchy "A" rattle can sprayed on the hood.

What about a wagon? easier to find cheap than a 2dr.

Im am currently looking for a starter car...
