Grassroots Motorsports $2005 Challange Protege/323? We need YOU!

[BobbyCoffins]

i don't know what MX-3s go for in the states, but if you could find a dirt dirt cheap one i think the KL swap is much easier since it has the V6 subframe and what not. it also has better brakes, mine regularly fades them...probably because the speedo swings past 140kph so fast

updates?

[JesseSays]

check the forum i posted earlier

we're continuing to plan out things, but we wont have the car until after the new year.

update:

looks like we won't be doing the supercharger setup, at least now not. Just don't have the time (6 weeks of weekends) to fully build the setup and make it run right. Other issue is that there are possible issues with our blower.

so now we're looking at maybe a few other things to get power, including possibly a nitrous system

[D323]

I thought you had to follow SCCA rules and nitrous wasnt allowed.....

[JesseSays]

For the autocross, it is not. However, it WOULD certainly help with the drag race

And I replied to your PM.

It looks more and more like we're going to have to strip it out and make it as light as possible to be able to get any sort of speed out of the car. We'll keep looking. Looks like we may be able to ditch the VAF and use a MAF, which would be nice.

[D323]

lol.... true. I would be tempted to use it on the straights in the autoX tho

[JesseSays]

Well, if you've been following the other message board, you've probably figured this out already, but our plan for the GRM Project 323 has come to a sad end. We simply don't have enough time to build the car the way we'd want to in order to participate in the event.

In some good news, I will still be purchasing the 323, for my own little beater project... back to the BG for me.

SELL ME THE INTERIOR... I need it badly.
Door panels and rear trunk pieces.

[JesseSays]

hehe, we'll see...

[D323]
