My newest crapcan Lemons racecar...

[Baron Von Crowder]

I helped a team that was pitted by us last weekend try to keep their foxbody coupe runing all weekend. They have run 4 races at MSR Houston, not finishing the last two. Seems they keep blowing head gaskets.

I recomended that they check out the AFR, and get a new set of head bolts, or even studs. The captain/owner of the car threw in the towel, and started asking questions about getting a Miata. One of my teamates bought one for spare parts a couple weeks ago, so we made a deal.

SO, introducing the State Pooper.







They gave me nearly all the parts they had leftover from the last engine, some stuff they had for spares, and some hotrod goodies. I picked it up in Austin this morning. Lights and sirens work. Going to pop a T5 back in, they were running a 3 speed. Also going with bigger brakes on the front, disks on the rear, and 5 lug. Working on getting some 17" cop wheels. And fix the head gaskets right.


Oh, and obligatory FTP!

That thing need to go on a serious diet and some negative camber.... I can already see 50-60lbs of shit that could be ripped off.

yeah, its a bit of a pig. Im going to swiss cheese it from front to back, and drop a few pounds here and there. How much camber did you end up with using the Sn arms?

It still has working power windows and mirrors, and ran a 2.00 at MSR last weekend.

Dang not to bad DJ!

It's pretty rough, has floorboard issues, been totaled and given a salvage title at some point in its life. It was rescued from the crusher a few years back.


The cool thing about it, the car wasnt hacked up so bad that it isnt workable, it has a title, and I am going to get it insured and drive it around some. We now have a pretty cool deal with our cars; Jason and I own both cars, he claims the Miata in the event Lemons goes away, and I get the Pooper. The cage is a drag style cage that was modded to fit our rules, so to the strip I go then.

Are those things only supposed to be like $500 cars? Good score for a beater racer at any rate!

all in the paperwork Tali.

My bill of sale list the selling price of the car in brokedown condition with spare junk parts for $250. Roll cage, wheels, brakes, etc that fall under non-budgeted allowances is $500.
