Was just surfing hawks when i saw this guy http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/92...ENMACHINE.aspx

I bet there's at least 27+ thousand into that car!!

Just wanted to share haha, sometimes buying a car already done will save you thousands, granted i like building them lol

 

That car is ugly.

 

Horsepower does not trump ugliness. Good foundation to build a car from, but far from done.

 

looks done to me. and i like it.

 

If you look at the interior picture, it looks like a $500 parts car that I've picked up. Needs to be finished...

I'm sure it runs its nuts off though.

 

I find it ugly too, but paint, interior, all that BS can be changed. The important thing is, look at the platform you're getting! A clean '92 Formy with a turbo 370" LSX block making almost 800 RWHP! That damn car is built the right way. A faceplated T56, badass fuel setup, tubbed, cage, seems like it has a little suspension work done, probably a host of other things to boot. It takes some serious $$$ to build a car like that.

So far I have $4,600+ into a slightly built 26 spline T56, Centerforce clutch, 03-04 Cobra aluminum driveshaft, Vortech V1 S trim setup, 90mm MAF, 36LB injectors, SCT Livewire tuner, SVT Focus fuel pump. I'd be looking at probably another $6,000+ just for a forged short block that could handle that sort of power, decent TF heads, then I'd have to trade in my V1 head unit for a V7-YSI, build an intercooler setup, etc etc. Then another $10,000+ into a return style fuel system, a ton of suspension work, cage, and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous stuff.

Super ugly, but I love it already.

 

It would look great if it wasn't for those stupid front wheels, whoever thought that would look good should be shot.

 

Them wheels aren't for looks.

 

i guess its all in what you want,some people dont mind "mix-n-match" cars. others of us prefer a car deviod of ANY mods

 

As lightweight as they may be its not worth it to me.

 

the car is stripped to go fast. and thats what i like. wish i could find a goddamn parts car that friggin nice. you look in any race car and thats about the standard interior you get. gutted. i know my vega is.

 

If that car was painted black, white, red or blue and had matching rims it would draw way more attention. It's a BA ride, but cmon, it's hard to be BA when your teal.

 

If those wheels were black the car wouldn't stand out so much. It's the fact parts of the car have been blacked out and then we've got those glaring gold wheels mounted on the car.

 

Those wheels are 500 bucks a piece up front and about the same in the rear if not more....this is a serious drag setup. I'd say who cares what it looks like, but you can get the same front wheels in Black or polished so I would have done one of those. If it wasnt an option then I wouldnt care

 

I know what they are and what they're intended for so I don't care THAT much.. but I'd still want them black. Outside of that, I'm actually okay with them. Haha. No gripes here. If she goes, I could really care less what it looks like.

 

Needs carpet, to be painted black or white . Besides that.. thats one bad *** car.

 

really nice car!!!! a lot you who say its ugly would prollly try to race it if you pulled up next to it on the streets and get your *** handed to you lol. no offense meant there. might not be the best looking car but its more race than streets but it has heat which makes no sense!!!! these cars dont even need heat you shouldnt have to drive 3rd gens in cold weather lol. either way nice car

 

No strut tower brace? what happens when some one wheelies and get scared and hit the brakes and the front end slams down?

 

no strut brace is needed. they are way overrated. and if someone thats gunna hit the brakes when they do a wheelie should never get in this car or anything close in power.

 

they will destroy the car. doesnt matter if it has a STB or not. You cant lift when you are wheel standing, or the front will slam down. The torque lifting the chassis will also set it back down, usually, gently.

 

What turbo they running? Kinda curious

 

Needs finished?? haha. Looks like its built for a purpose. It has a parachute for goodness sakes. Who needs carpet with a parachute?

This is a car to buy, and beat the snot out of. Make changes to dial it in and go racing. Not a car to buy to restore and take to shows...though..it looks nice enough to do that with as it is really.

Seems like a decent deal to me.

J.

 

i wonder how streetable the engine is? It would make a killer protouring car with a little refinement.

 

Setup is similair to mine although i wanted the entire fit and finish done. Wish they would put that motor in that vert he has for sale and id be all over it. LOL

 

Looks like not too bad of a deal but knowing Hawks, it is probably overpriced in some way shape or form.

 

The front rims...nose and hood don't match. Totally kills the car :-\

 

i say its awesome, and everyone builds a black, silver, or red car.... the teal is somthin different and i like it. the bumper should match tho
