Learn how you can buy a project car for less than the cost of a new cell phone! Project cars are great for learning how to fix a car and when you are done (project cars are never done, you can be proud to drive the car you fixed up! In this series eBay Motors challenged me to buy a 24hr endurance race car for the 24hrs of Lemons race series. The car I chose had to be fast, reliable, and under 500! TheCorington: Hankook Rs4 is usually a really popular tire for endurance racing since they last long and hold heat well at the 200tw level, often sold out too. A052 is the fastest 200tw tire right now used in competition racing but it does not last as long. This tire will put 80-180tw tires to shame as it is ridiculously fast. Same thing with Rt660, and re71r but they are also good and have a bit more feel with them. So it's a balance of performance vs going for a softer tire which depends on your strategy.

Sell the rims after polishing them up and sell the tyes as old scrap. Take the interior carpets and the carpet in the boot sell that, take out the rear seats sell that if you can (cuz rules, in any case, its weight saving. Sell the rear bumper it seems to be in good shape. Sell the engine plastic cover. Sell the sunroof(glass part. Sell the windows front and rear( glass part, You can replace them with some cheap clear plastic + weight saving. Sell the interior door cards, the electric window motors, the light selector on the left of the steering wheel(doesn't seem to be worn out) I think out of all of these suggestions there is at least a few that are legal to be sold by Lemons regulations and you only need 40 bucks.

Things to sell:
-Center Console
-Floor Mats
-Trunk and interior liner
-Spare Tire?
-The cover for the sunroof (You can't sell the glass or unit because it's a safety feature but the cover has nothing to do with that)
-Shifter Knob (you could replace it with your personal one you already own)
-Lug nut covers (if they have them)
-spoiler?
-Sun shades (just wear high-grade sunglasses)
-sunglasses holder
-dome lights
-grab handles (you already have racing seats)
-Rear passenger armrest
-Side trim (if you want to go that far)
-Any exposed internal trim pieces
-any old parts you can scrap

Chris, you ve helped me achieve my goal, make a 1998 Honda Civic Hatchback into a race car. It turns so many heads on the trailer. Why a trailer? Because the Civic has no windows, no headlights, no airbags and no mufflers. I race it on a 3/8 mile track, even though inside it s somewhat quiet, everyone says that it screams on the outside. Keep up the vids!

Passanger seat is worth some money. And trunk spoiler if you don't need it is worth something to someone. Especially if the car has back up sensors, that worth a pretty penny. If the car has a oem alarm system that easy to Uninstall and sell.

Hello Chris, windows and parking modules, glass windows, cd box on the gloovebox or the left side of the trunk, jack and old wheels, the interior with some magic of yours on them would like new. And good luck for THE TEAM FIX.

I'm not sure what your tire budget is, but I tend to prefer BFGoodrich g-force comp-2 A/S Plus. They have a good treadwear rating at 400, and grip really well. I always run them on my '92 BMW.

Sell all the seats except the drivers and strip the trunk, sell the front axles and block off the holes in the tcase for a simple rwd conversion, sell all the sunroof stuff too.

Hey chrisfix i think you can replace the power windows with manual crank windows if it doesnt create a problem so that you can save some money for something more useful!

I m so excited to see you work more on your cars. Be careful with that turbo kit for your del sol. It looks like an eBay kit and those waste gates are known to over boost
