24 Hours of Lemons Race Car - SUPERJET

[ATS_Aaron]

This is our car for the 2009 Lemon's race in Houston. The series is for piece of junk cars. The maximum you can spend is $500. Including fixing, modifying and theme-ing your car.

Our car is a 1986 Toyota MR2 with a 1991 MR2 front end conversion (the first and only one we know of). The engine is a 1988 Celica All-Trac turbo engine and the transmission/axles are out of a 1995 non-turbo MR2 (tighter ratios).

We decided to make our car into a 2009 Yamaha Superjet

We attached a SN handle pole to the roof. Turfed the rear trunk and engine lid. And added BOLD NEW GRAPHICS.

[WaveDemon]

how much did you spend on this $500 car?

 

[ATS_Aaron]

Well, safety stuff (wheels, tires, brakes, cage, harness, seat, steering wheel, etc) is not included in the $500 budget. The cage cost us $700 for a bender, $400 in materials and about 2 weeks lost work.

Lot's of people hear "$500 race car" and think YEAH I can do that. But the fact is that the first race will cost you about $6000.

Good Luck in Houston

How many drivers and Who?

That SN pole probably doubled the weight of the car. You should do a RN pole conversion, then it'd be light enough to :brap:

That is too funny. A year or two ago someone had an old RV done up like that at Pismo - would be the perfect pit vehicle!

Graphics came in today. We painted the interior white to clean up the insides some. We added a nozzle to the rear and turfed the "side rails."
