I am about to find out. Here is the white warrior
Here is the donor
1990 colt 200 gt 4g15= 200 It actually runs good too
92 tsi awd=220 Also runs and drives good (front ender though)
Total cost to date= $420 dollars canadian I put an ad on kijiji hoping to sell whatever scraps i don't use off the talon, that will subtract from the cost. I'm kind of doing a mock grassroots competition with myself. Basically i want to throw the motor and rear end in and go have some fun. This car will just be a fun toy for me to play with so i leave my other vehicles alone. I want to keep it cheap to start (cause i'm off to such a good start, i wanna keep it going) Then in time i will throw thousands and thousands into it.
One other thing i plan to do with this car- I don't want to give ANYTHING away. You see the way it looks in the picture? That's the way i want it to look when i'm done. I'm still undecided on the front hubs yet, if i will use 5 bolt or 4. I might start with a 4 front 5 rear to start, to keep the initial cost down, but it would probably be good to have the talon's front brakes to stop this rocket. I have a set of steel 14 inch 5 bolts, then i can just go score some nice white hubcaps. Nobody will ever be the wiser.
I will also have a cab operated exhaust cutout for that ultimate sleeper effect. I plan to keep a full stock interior, No pod pillars, or anything like that i want it STOCK looking. I just hope the car will make it through the tech inspection at the track.
Any input would be welcome on this project. So far it looks like my main expense will be driveshaft/cv/ and that timing belt mount.
