1/4 mile sleeper...
Hey guys & girls...
Got an idea, just wanted to throw it around for some advice from the gurus... Been thinking for some time to get maybe a rwd small car of some sort (old Corolla perhaps?) and twin-charging it to go down the 1/4... might be easier if I got one turboed from factory and adding a supercharger, but looking at budget also, & since my son is now a qualified mechanic with a keen interest in Jap performance cars, maybe a father/son endeavour comes to mind. Anyone been down this road? Any advice/suggestions? Cheers

The guys on Mighty Car Mods did a similar project with a Cressida. Might be worth a look? http://youtu.be/-P52gGHPzSQ

However, just to make it clear, I'm looking at twin charging with a single turbo, not so much twin turbo. Wonder if a 7M would fit? They can be had for quite cheap & after a re-do of the head gasket, maybe some internals, might this be a goer?

Small turbo charged factory car. Mk1 MR2 comes to mind.
But as its a drag car, torque it the big thing getting you off the line. Thought electric in a light weight Jap shell?

Would a 2J even fit? What sorta GB would I need, maybe a 5sp Celica old model?
