Quest for More Power and More Traction! BP+T + AWD Build Thread

[ford4life]

Stock cars are boring & everyone has one.
Go for the extreme custom build. Many will doubt you but if your like me that will only push you to finish it
When your done all the haters will want a ride or want your car.
Go for it, we're all wanting to see that beast run!

Lol deff not hating I kno Aaron and he does good work and is extremely smart and has lots of skills.

Not too many updates, I was able to weld up the square frame section though.



my beads got a little heavy so I ground them down a little bit.

[zoom zoom]

nice, you made a square!

sweeet bro nice job man keep it up!

next time make a circle!


no i'm just playin...sry.. really

hey you think there's enough room in the rear of an aspire to cut out a 1'6" x 3' wide section of the floor around the spare tire well and not have to touch any vital frame rails? I haven't even looked under there lately to know..

[Nerd Racing]

that I don't know. sorry. I can measure what I cut out in the back of the festy.

I'm open to constructive criticism really lol, I just get annoyed by Evan easily because he never lets me forget about the V6 aspire and the way that ended...

[Damkid]

Yait was a shame with the Kl aspire but hopefully one day you'll try they swap again, then we can race :evil4:

[Nerd Racing]

^^ I plan on it! I have some methods I will use to make the swap go smoother too.

[ford4life]

You have lots of potential and hands on experience! I swear one of these days I'm going to build a garage for you to work out of!

Ok, so I have a quick question, is there anyway to turn the motor on an festy or spire 90 degrees and put in say the motor, trans and rear end out of a mistakes or something like that in? I'm jus curious

yep, its been done, Ketchup has, you will need to change a few things around so the oiling works out

[lil red rocket]

So its possible to have a rear wheel drive festiva/aspire? Sweet, sounds like a fun project if I can get may hands on everything, lol

[Damkid]

^^anything is possible

[lil red rocket]

I guess that is true as long as you have the time and money
