Note: Pics to follow...stay tuned.
Ok. A little background to start.
I have an 82' x that I had originally planned on fixing up as a DD weekend Auto-x'r. Car is to far gone to stick that kind of effort into.
New plan (in the works) is to change this into a Auto-X only tool. THIS WILL NEVER SEE STREET DUTY!!
What I need help with is picking the right combination of parts to make the car as competitive as I can for the XP class.
Power:The plan is to use the Fiat FI 1500 engine that came with the car but needs to be upgraded. What cam, pistons, valves etc will I need to turn this into the fire breather it needs to be?
What mods/parts do I need to make the FI work with the elevated power levels? Is 150hp to tall of an order?
Suspension: Tires will be Hoosier A6's 225/45/13 mounted on 13x8 wheels. What other suspension bits do I need to be looking at? I'm pretty sure I'll need more than just a fresh set of KYB's and cut springs.
Don't be afraid to mention cost.
