You want the best show car, commission those 2 guys at Alpine that built the EP3 and Mini Cooper.

Everything else is junk.

Don't think so...gotta list parts too eh? lol

I'm not disclosing any details. You want a build, I think you should think of it yourself. Or else, most people here who are building their ideas are gonna get pissed off if they disclose all their secrets to you so that you can copy them.

No one's giving you the details of a build because they are doing their ideas themselves. You've gotta think of one yourself. People here are relectant to disclose any secrets. Just like me.

Anyways, Good luck with the build.

CHeers,

We were thinging a 2000SIR with a K20a with a greddy T4 turbo....im pretty much just looking for engine options...what would be the best option. After that body and that crap would be left to our creative minds. Were looking to make around 500Hp or more

this wont win you a show

I'd drop a K20 and then slap on a rear mount turbo. I forget who makes them..ill put the name up when i find the magazine.

that would get you some attention at a show..the greddy kit will not

Slapping parts onto a production car, to me, is not a show car. You are showing nice aftermarket bolt-on parts, that's about it.

You need more help, but not from us. If money is really no object, or your buddy is seriously loaded with a truck full, then like I said, speak to those 2 guys who built the Alpine show car and consult with them.

Ok thanks for everyones input or lack thereof I was just wondering what are some good combinations for a setup not looking to steal anyones idea's. I guess I thought more people would have some good ideas of a really good show car.
