Hey\nMaybe google Ralliart. Its Mitsu's tunning arm. I could think of weight reduction (i.e. alloy wheels), take out the silencers in your exhaust ( 3-5+hp) and MAYBE forced indutcion.\n\nPeace

yea but your not suppose to pimp out your car.use any other car. lyke the toyota corolla.see inital d movie.import cars are only for show and looks not drifting and racing.

You need to pack it very well.  Make it almost as hard as asphault.  Your drivers will apperciate it very much and you will have better racing.

U need to move up through lower formula's through (usually) carting until you gain a super licence.\n\nBest thing you can do is to get into carting and see if you have an aptitude but don't set your heart on it as there are very very few F1 places ever available ... even the lower series are over subscribed.\n\nA lack of talent can also be made up for by having substantial sponsorship ... so called 'pay drivers'.\n\nGood luck and remember us when you are famous.

ask for anything.  Even putting together model cars can be fun.  Clothes and computer games.  what ever your heart desires

I don't know about Australia, but I'm here in Korea and I've just become a driver for a Pro Kart team trying to get as much seat time as I can.. and that's really what you need. Seat time, it dosen't matter what type of driving. From there you'll meet people with different contacts in the racing world. And just keep talking about rally. I know in America there's a feeder program called RallyCross, but I dunno if there's anything like that in Australia.

As a former owner of a maverick (madmav) it is an instant race car so racers are scarfing them up as fast as they can find them. This is assuming it is a two door.  My car was far from perfect and I sold it for $3000.  A six cyl car in good shape can go up to $2500 for mint cars.  V8 cars bring more.  It all depends on the cars condition and region your in.  I want to find another, my car would fly. Gas prices were killing me though.

Race to start with and if you do that make a name for your self by winning and competing. If you done that then maybe start advertising yourself to owners. Kinda like what Carl Edwards did. You might start out on different team but you can trade up after contract up. Good Luck On Life

If drag racing is what you mean skip the imports, you can dump thousands into them and not get out of the 13's 1/4 mile.  A late model Camaro or Mustang is the way to go for cheap speed, lots of parts on hand...400+ hp is easily attainable for very little dough.  If you must go import get a six-cylinder turbo car (300ZX, 3000GT, Supra) and upgrade the turbo, can be very quick but also very expensive.

well...\n\nlook for performance:\nheaders\nexhaust pipes\nmufflers\nintake manifold\nair filter\ndrivetrain pulleys\nfuel injectors\nthrottle body\nfuel pump\n\nsupercharging the motor always helps. =]\njuss make sure u upgrade ur brakes too, though. lol.

try investing in google, if i had any money i would do that.  you can also try entering contests (i think kiis fm and others give away cars) and then sell the car...or banks...

Unfortunately, it's not that easy.  we have been racing for 14 years now & are constatnly looking for sponsers.  It requires very good people skills & basically selling yourself as a product.  You and your car will represent whichever company sponsers you.  It requires meeting a lot of people & a lot of knocking on strangers doors. I'd start with auto parts stores.  Also, we have made some deals with our favorite resturants & companies that we work for.  It helps to put together a portfolio about yourself & your racing achivements. Also - your sponsers might want you to bring your race car down so that can can view what condition your equipment is in & also, on days that the comapny has a big sale or open house, they might want you to bring the car down so that their customers can see it also.

buy a manual boost controller and boost gauge used on ebay, and crank that baby up, not too high tho or it will hurt the motor.  im not sure exactly what type of turbos are on a stock 3000gt, but i had my stock tsi turbo up to about 17 psi or so.

it's a good car with a 2.0 liter intercooler turbo inline 4 engine, it has a 5 speed manual gearbox, however, i believe this car has a drift setting, coz the first time i tried driving one, it has a good acceleration but it dont have a good top speed, it's handling is superb though becoz of it's full time 4wd, it is very cool and stylish.

Sell it; then buy a Mustang GT (05/06/07), it's more than a Scion TC (you can pick up a 05 used for around 22k though) and it'll be faster and better looking than that tc would ever be, and it's really easy to modify the 4.6 modular V8, there is an abundance of modifications available. You would have to spend more than 15k w/ that scion to even match the Mustang probably.\n\n\nHowever, I can tell you what not to do to your Scion:\n-Lambo Doors\n-Big Wheels (go no bigger than 18's)\n-big speakers, anything that adds weight and no performance\n-ricer stickers, big spoiler that does nothing\n\nWhat you should do:\n-visual modifications should be subtle, and the aim should be on lightening the car, and better aerodynamics\n-wheels should be light, lessen the rolling mass, and automatically accelleration, handling, and braking will get better. \n-focus on performance, add a supercharger, lsd, (boo fwd) what I would really do is do a V8 rear wheel drive conversion, maybe you can find a old quattro etc.. awd system and adapt your car to put that in\n-cold air intake, low restriction exhaust, k&n air filter, bore and stroke that engine for a little more displacement\n-stiffer springs (stick w/ the TRD stuff probly, don't do anything stupid like cutting the springs)\n-supercharger/turbocharger that car definitely needs more power, however make sure that everything that needs to beefed up or swapped out to deal w/ the increased power is done...brakes, springs, tranny, steering maybe, axles too. \n\nStiffen that car, strut tower brace etc...
