| AFI Performance |
Hello All,
AFI performance is looking for a project car. Let us know what you guys and gals would like to see us build. This will be a full minimum 9 second build so please keep your suggestions super cool and unique.
The options right now are a Mk1V supra, and an infinity g35. These are in no way set in stone but simply options.
Any ideas you all would like to see? Mabye a poll???
This is assuming my sponsorship goes through, LOL.
cheers,
Martin

G35 sounds sweet
make sure whatever you do is RWD or AWD |

Anybody who knows me knows that I am all about sick shit, and that to me means RWD and AWD. I personally think that a daily driver G35 hangin the front tires is a good choice, and is the choice I have been favoring.
Any car with a purchase price bone stock of 50,000 and under is an option, that should norrow the otpions down.
Thanks for the input.

sc400 or a soarer? compete against jay lol
do like a rb26 into the g35 with liek a 2.8L kit
you rember those videos we showed you off here about the gtr shoot-out |
|
|
| AFI Performance |
I know Jay and am involved in his cars. I would love to be involved in getting his Ton wagon into the elevens, but that is not really in the same realm I am looking at.
If AFI's import stufff is not into the 9's next spring I am offering free ball kicks on me to anyone that is interested. That is a guarantee.
I am super pumped to see this soarer do some sick numbers, and it will. |

| Really to due a project car for a shop, you might as well do something original. I would say something like the new 350Z etc something that you would have to come up with a game plan, not just follow and exsiting one. My 2 cents. |
|
|
| mx73someday |
Actually I think this car would devour Redline's "Canada's fastest Soarer":
I know of a MZ20 Soarer that is faster... |

If you wanted something that is a little less common as a project car, what about an IS350? Stock they have more power than the G35, and a little higher build quality in my opinion.
AFI building an Import isn't what I would expect. If you want numbers that will bring in customers I guess the MkIV would be the best bet. |

Thank you Ron.... I have been pressured like hell to follow suit and build a 9 or 8 second supra.
I just don't see the coolness in building a built supra with a t-88? Everyone knows the reciepe, and all it takes is the money to do it.
I was thinking more along the lines of a full weight street G35 yankin the fronts on a nine second run. I think it will only take a short time for the members of this board and others to see truly how sick of fuckers we are here!!!
Anybody who knows the retarded lengths we take in the domestic scene willl very soon see what we will do to the import scence in Edmonton.
We have bone stock stangs under boost running mid elevens, 4,900 pound SUVs shooting for high elvens without so much as a valve cover being pulled, and we will damn well have our imports not only running good for Edmonton times, but for world class times.
I am making it my personal mission to step this shit up around here, it is WAY past due boys !!!!
Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestion, but my goal is not one of mass customer draw. We do not do anything but bad ass builds around here. If you want a header or exhaust install done, please contact another vendor/installer.
People do not realize this but in the 3 years of my business I have NEVER EVER touched a carburated car, nor have I ever in my life owned one. AFI has always, and will always be about EFI performance. Just get your hands on one of my cars and you will see.
It has always been my plan to kick some ass in the import market, and all I needed was a few years to nail down the domestic stuf. The domsestic stuff is officially nailed down, and AFI will be comming to your town with open arms.
Thanks guys and Gals,

| Sounds like an interesting project I just don't know if 9's well come as easily and quickly as you think. Even with a Skyline or Supra it is still a feet to get those cars to Et. I should no I run a 140Mph high 10 second car (Mph should be good for 9's). Good luck Martin about time a shop in Edmonton steps up to the plate. |

Anyways I say build something people dont see in the 9's or even 10's.
something more unique then a g35 or supra. |

| Bhodi |
:blue:
what you should do i import something unique...
there are already turbo/supercharged 350 in the city...
Soarers have been done,
Supra been done
Mustang/Camaro whateve..already to many
here is a unique vehicle for you Scion tC...to that....legal to import none here. |

a RX7
does AFI work on rotarties or is that side of imports untouchable |

I'm not a jdm fan, but i really want to see someone do a crazy R32 skyline or maybe an RB26 240.
RB just sounds sooo crazy. |

The problem is that every car that was listed here has been modified somewhere else in this world with shit loads of power and is fast. To see a fast skyline, fd, mkiv, sti, etc is just boring because I can just go on line and watch videos of these cars ripping it up all day long. To stay original it will be very hard. Good luck and what ever you choose it will cost you a shit load of money to modify. BTW is this car going to be a street car or just strictly a drag car?

| You could do a nice Lexus SC300, and just follow the supra recipe. |

| stybscelica |
Although toyotas are my choice in all listed above but why not an audi TT coupe , You could really knok out some one with the all wheel drive version. And go like stink. Lets keep it highend and unique. Sorry 240, skyline guys:D
Oh and buy the way seen lots of time attack version sc's and Is's Been done before aswell. Matrix in Calgary has a pretty sick IS time attack car sitting on the lot.
That would be my choice if i had the funds

| Take an IS300, slap in a 2JZ-GTE with a 3.4L stroker kit, a GT47-88, nitrous, a T400, and go run some 8's on drag radials. |

| shaved03gt |
| So your now going to build a import??? What about your poor truck..:( (poor blue), i vote for g-35 really nice car IMO, to see a sick turbo set up on one would be sweet... |

if you search the internet hard enough every car every made has been made sick fast with loads of power.... so saying that is kinda a waste of time.....
seing how jdm cars are all the rave these days doing somthing along those lines would be cost efective and along the market right now for how much id will cost you to build a 9 second g35 you could build a 9 second r32 and a driftable s13 or somthing
also all the shops in edmonton are the suck when it comes to jdm cars and everyone has to go to calgary for parts and service |

Nope, it's 5 speed. It has a decent sized single turbo. I don't know if it's been dyno'd, it's owned by a tuner shop in Lethbridge.
I don't care if Redline's is getting better, they said it was the fastest when it clearly was not. |

it has all been done if you look far enough. Pick something that you are most familiar with that you are confident you can hit your goal with.
Or buy Karl (apex mod) Rotary wagon off him and make it a wheelstander@! |

I think it would be cool to do and FD rx-7 but with an 2JZ.
Yes it has been done before but it would still be pretty cool and would for sure have people checking it out.

its tight
http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=511211
and if all you want is a 9 second fd half bridge it with a gt42r put some 10.5" mt drags(w/e size you wish i was keeping it pro street 10.5 legal) and do al lyour requires supporting mods along with a stripped car.
lupe down in the states has 603 rwhp with a t51r and he will one day run near a 150mph pass. |

Definately do something original. No Supras or Skylines. Something we don't see in EVERY magazing thats on the shelf.
I'd recommend a CRX... not hard to build a B18 with a huge turbo to run 10s, but FWD is kinda gay. |

Honestly, if you're catering to the hardcore crowd now (And since you stated you only do full builds, I'd assume that's the case) then you're really going to need to wow them.
Everyone has read magazines with fast Supra's, 300ZX, RX7, 350Z, etc. Everyone knows that an AWD DSM's / Supra's can go into the 9's with just the right amount of money.
If you're looking to be a "cut above" every other shop in the city, do a completely custom build. Do something that show the craftsmanship of your shop (And not just mechanically), do something that people would say "No way" when they hear about it. Do something that you want to put up on a hoist and show people.
What you need to do, is take a car like a Tiburon/Lancer. Something that people would say "What the hell are you thinking?" and make in one of a kind. Convert it to RWD, etc....
Any shop can make a Supra go fast. But can just any shop custom fabricate, say a Lancer into RWD, and make it run 9's? Obviously not in our city....Yet ;) |

i like ur thinking, but i would choose a better car lol. I did see an ITR with a CRV AWD system swapped in.. something like that would be cool. |

I don't care if Redline's is getting better, they said it was the fastest when it clearly was not.
Well last time I checked my Soarer was making 425 whp at 1.29 bar on the twin set up that went to 1.5 Bar thats not even touching the timming. The spark kept breaking up so I had to upgrade the ignition. I see no Dyno #s on this other Soarer or 1/4 mile times so how is it faster ?
The turbo looks pretty tiny on it for a single turbo conversion but then again that car is set up for drift and mine is set up for drag.
There is a PT67BB Sitting in my Engine bay now when I find the time I will post new pics up. As well as the other goodies going in the car.
When I started the single turbo it was still the fastest Soarer in Canada.Any doubts about the power of this car you can talk to Martin at AFI started doing the tuning and will finish the tuning once the new turbo swap is finished. |
|
|
| raceready68 |
| I still say 6 speed Aristo it has a good base and can be made into the first RHD into the 9s in Canada. |
|
|
| 2HIGH~PSI |
well depending on what your budget is...i think something unique like a boxster :p granted thats going to be pretty expensive, but you rarely see a 9s boxster...or if thats an unrealistic price point, what about something like an old E30 bmw?? do an RB swap, or a 2jz...definitely a unique car, but still classy:D
Also i was thinking of RWD cars because i dont know how much fabrication you're thinking of..if you were to convert to RWD, then something like a solara, or a tsx :blink:
but i think a G35 would be tight...but its been done...but still tight:thumbup: :thumbup: |

The point is that it's a lame statement to make when you have no way of confirming what other Soarers there are in Canada, I found one in Lethbridge of all places, there could be so many others in Canada. Where's your dyno sheet?
At least you changed the statement to say one of the fastest. |
|
|
| ~30oZ~ |
Why don't you "do up" a new Subaru Legacy GT? I haven't heard anything about that car yet.:dunno: It's a sweet looking car to boot and has some nice upgrades for the outside too. The GT looks sweet stock also.
 |
|
|
| 95IntegraRS |
If ANY shop can put together a 9 second Supra, then why aren't any shops running 9s?
Whatever we build at AFI, if it even comes close to a 9 second pass, its sure to impress. |
|
|
| raceready68 |
At the time it was put it it was the first or second soarer in Canada it was in the first container ship landing on the first date of the first month they where legal. Dyno sheets where clearly displayed at DTP. I am not turning this into some flame war. Untill some one shows me a faster car with some proof I am leaving it.
What size turbos on the one in Lethbrige ? What are the specs on this car ? . I like how no one knows anything about the car other then its a drift car but every one knows its faster then mine with no dyno sheets or times slips. I am pretty sure there are already many bench racing forums here already and I am sure some one will import a Soarer that is close to mine but as far as 1jz soarers go its the fastest in Canada untill some one shows me other wise.
I still have lots in the work to keep in on top espically after the 1jz blows.
Martin I really think you should do a Black Aristo it would be nice to see another Black supra powered JDM

| pretty sure he asked to see the dyno sheets....i think we all would like to see the dyno sheets......i hope it was tuned more since a few months ago, as a few friends there when it was getting dyno'd and it never reached those numbers when my friends were there. it was the time u apparently couldn't rev it to high but thats not wut my friends are saying |

| what about doing something really different.......like and AWD audi |
|
|
| Alpha Gangsta |
I'd have to go with the aristo idea... except 2nd gen Aristo aka Lexus GS300.
You got room for 4 passengers, it'll be pimp, actual rear trunk space for killer stereo(if you want) and its already got a 2JZ which you can build up or make it an easier swap for the GTE.
the GS300 is "practical", readily available and also at half your budget for vehicle. Sure... not as "pimp" as a supra or G35... but different and relatively unexpected. |

| firestarter |
| Audi coupe quattro!! hopefully a UR Quattro but it will demand a premium to purchase one!! Just my 2 cents |

| i got a good one, lol but i dont think anybody would ever take it seriously, haha do a prelude its fwd but original and i know it will seriously be a challenge. im not even sure if you can get 9s with a lude. lowest ive seen in 10's by oaks racing running off an h22. if you ever built a lude to those times that is something to seriously be impressed about but you said rwd and awd haha my 2 cents if you want something original |

That car is likely heavy enough WITHOUT a stereo. |

good call but i'd go with an S4 over a TTcoupe, '00 or '01 came with a 6 cylinder bi-turbo :thumbup: TT just comes with a single k04 turbo, slightly larger than the a4's k03. |

| Martin if you want this car for your shop to show people what you can do stick with a real car. Getting a tin can to run fast is easy doing it with a 3000+ Lb car is the hard part that requires making some serious power. |

the Soarer here in town is equiped with a trsut TD07-25A turbo with a power FC it is limited as of now due to maxing fuel system, but will be definate high horsepower machine, it is owned by mak customs here in town, a very respectable shop! |

On an also completely unrelated note, I was thinking of possibly picking up a good pair of steel toed boots, possibly on say, June 22nd. Anyone know a good place to get some?
:)
I have an extra set Darryl!:blue: I wouldn't want to put my neck, ummm balls out there!:blink: :drama: |

Whatever we build at AFI, if it even comes close to a 9 second pass, its sure to impress.
Money and time.
Let's be honest, what shops actually have dedicated shop cars that race? The closest I can think of is Ron and Subracing.
With something like a Supra, the upgrade paths are tried, tested and proven. If you duplicate a 9 second setup, with the right tuning, you will run 9's (elevation aside). |

hes aiming for 9s... I think thats difficult enough regardless of vehicle and weight. Why not make it even more difficult and be able to add additional bragging rights?
"9s with A/C, leather and TVs in the headrest" haha
I'm not into sound systems and I'd rather have a simple race car but I thought it'd be funny to throw that car into the mix. |

Ya, the soarer in lethbridge here put down 300 some whp and 400 ft pounds on stock twins. Now like bex said its got a djetro power fc and a greddy td07.
Do you even have a timeslip for your soarer??? If you dont have a timeslip, quit friggen bench racing. |

I'll be the first to admit... not very practical, at least for the specific goal stated at the beginning of this thread ("minimum 9's").
Unless we're talking a totally stripped out race car, no longer street legal.
The fastest still streetable Z32 in North America is barely in the 9's (like 9.9xx!!), and the time and resources and expertise that went into that car is HUGE, not to mention it runs at a near sea level dragstrip.
I wouldn't expect a little relatively unknown shop in Northern Alberta to be able to replicate Greg Dupree's success that easily. Not without huge pain and effort.
Just my opinion. But don't get me wrong, I love seeing fast Z32s! |

g35 are sweet cars. My mom has one..
What I think would be sweet would be if you nuilt up an fx35 or better yet an fx45. NOBODY has done that. It would look unique and the engine (in the 35 at least) are the same as the g35. Same platform too. It would be badass.
A G35T would be nice though. There's a few of em out there though..
50,000 gives you alot of chioces. Here's a few off the top of my head:
The new SKY roadster (Small aftermarket market though)
A sl320 would be cool :) Get an 04 or around there for 50,000 easily.
Build a new civic si up. (9 second car stock haha)
A supercharged charger would be awesome.
For 50,000 you could get a MINI smart roadster (brabus kinda) light as a feather.
For 50,000 you could get a nice r34 from Japan (track / show only)
Solstice.
Put an rb26 in a classic mustang hahaha. Hell slap an rb26 in any car that shouldn't have one. hahahhaha rb26 civic
I dunno how many of those would be 9 second cars though lol. Myabe the charger after alot of work.
:p :p
EDIT: MAKE A RWD CIVIC! |

Did that AFI SSTB ever actually run an 11? I thought they were going for it but I never saw it at Castrol last Friday, and then we got rained out :dunno: That is one badass truck, I was there when it pulled mid-12s.
As for project vehicle ideas, I like the G35 one. They are basically non-existant at the track and a 9 second one would get some attention. MKIV has been played out. Or possibly an obscure AWD car like the Magnum R/T AWD with a stroker hemi, forced induction and stonealone computer. That would be cool to see, and no one has built up the AWD version yet and they stay away from Hemi's in general because the stock PCM is a real nazi. |

| I don't think there is any realization of what is involved to get a vq35 (G35/350Z) to run in the 9's in a street driven body. The car is fat at 3500 lbs and needs MKIV power levels to attain those levels of performance. I have been on several 350z/g35 forums since 2003 and it is a lot more difficult than people think. Guys running 650-700 hp with sleeved blocks, single/twin turbo's, cams, carbon multi-disc clutches, axles, carbon LSD's, HKS F-con management, etc. still can't get it done. There have been a few guys in the 10's but only in caged and stripped out cars. Anything is possible with money....but the vq35 is too new to support the power levels you would need here. Problems with block integrity, headlift, and cooling issues rear their ugly heads with new posts every day. If you go with a platform like a MkIV Supra, you know what you are getting into. 10+ years in the tuner market has yielded several power combo's that work. It may not be a fresh idea.....but nothing out there that is this new will have the parts or the R&D to reach the desired power levels....for more than 1 or 2 pulls on a dyno. |

Sorry, but this is Edmonton. How has a Supra been played out? Out of most of the cars that people voted on, The Supra would be the Easiest to make it in the (10’s, 9's & maybe 8's)... remember that this is Edmonton & there is not too many quick imports here, not even for shops... Shit, the last Shop car that was just for racing was the Civic & that only ran in the high 11's (ounces or twice)...
The point that I am trying to get across is that whatever car they pick (AFI Performance
)... It is not going to be very easy to do & there is only one person or car that maybe can come close (DSM) (FT Mac) to that & it has taken him almost 5 year to do it....
But any way best of luck on what ever (AFI Performance
) picks |
