O.K enterain the thought

[<T M T T>]

So here we are a bunch of diesel gearheads. Now with entertainment purposes only what would YOU build for a Ricer?? RULING OUT A SUPRA!!

Me it's a tough choice. Either a 240Sx, OR an STi. Sti= cool factor with AWD, 240 = lightweight rwd. I just can't do FWD but there are some Hondas and such that can move but I just can't get into FWD.

400 Hp is the perfect level for not a Billion dollars.

[Jim]

c'mon man rice? :wtf2:
ok but anyways, STI no doubt. look great, are fast from the factory so throwing some stuff at them=FASTER plus AWD like you said. Whats the point of power if you cant put it to the ground!:nutkick:

Why rule out the Supra??????:dunno: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f18/Tim789/TDR/toyota_supra.jpg

Transplant a Cummins into a Toyota truck.

[DBogo]

alright its not a ricer its a krauter Audi S4 there friggin sick there 2.7 twin turbo V6 and the new ones are V8 in a small car plus AWD

mark, The Vee-Dub could be a viable contender if they would juuuust give it a lil bump! man they handle great! I have seen some crazy r32's on Nopi and they are now starting to get some great hp out of them. BTW See that 832AWD hp Golf tri turbo? I gotta find the video of that animal.

I shoulda also said favorite Euro car too. But that can tip into the supercar class like Lambo , Ferrari , Maseratti , Astin , Lotus , Koenseigg , Porsche , etc , etc , Edonis , McLaren , Bugatti , Noble , and etc and we don't want to go into deram car territory.

Some of the cooler "Super Rice" goes out to the GTR Skyline , Silvia , Evo XIIII (Select rear wheel drive for drift option) Prodrive and Subaru ESX Sti

[John DiMartino]

For the straight line,Id say a Mitsu Evo.Those things are tough to beat on the street with some work.Ive seen alot of grenaded Subarus here lately,even stock WRX's.I thinkthe Evo has more potential power in the stock short block. An old Nissan 240,or a new 350 Z with an LS1/2 swapped in would be my next choice.

[Diesel-less]

1998 Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4....awd, 6 speed tranny, twin turbos, all wheel steering, active aerodynamics, large aftermarket....500 horsepower easy and attractive.

Diesel-less

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Yeah seccond that on the VR4 / Stealth good point (OLD school supras too can't forget them)

[Warpig]

(OLD school supras too can't forget them) :dunno::wtf2:

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Now Tim don't get your egg-nog is a curdle. The Generic "Supra" That everybody and their mom associates with the ultimate supra is the 1993-1998 4th gen. the "old school are the 1992-1986 (RARE 1987 to be exact) Supra.

Or there is allways the Opel DIESEL speedster

Opel Eco-Speedster technology concept impressively demonstrates the potential that exists in a combination of advanced driveline technology, sophisticated aerodynamics and systematic weight-saving construction. The world premiere of this spectacular prototype marks the start of the biggest diesel campaign in Opel's history. By the end of 2003 the company will introduce four all-new common rail diesel engines across the range, with power outputs of up to 130 kW (177 hp). The outstandingly efficient Eco-Speedster prototype with its spectacular long-tail body demonstrates impressively the performance potential of the future 1.3 CDTI ECOTEC engine: During initial testing, the 82 kW/112-hp reached a maximum speed of over 250 km/h, while according to the MVEG cycle was a miserly 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
The two-seat prototype is based on the mid-engined Speedster roadster, but features new, bodywork with much improved aerodynamics. With significantly reduced drag (cD= 0.20) and even lower weight (around 660 kg), the Eco-Speedster takes up where another Opel prototype left off 30 years ago: On June 1, 1972, at the company's Dudenhofen proving ground, a modified Opel GT with 95 hp, 2.1-liter diesel engine made the headlines by setting several world records for diesel and reached a top speed of 197.5 km/h. Shortly afterwards, Opel launched the Opel Rekord 2.1 D, its first diesel-engined passenger car.
The new Eco-Speedster is proof of the progress made in the last 30 years and of the diesel engine's amazing passenger-car career. When the record-breaking GT made its sensational appearance, it was the first time that "Sports car" had been associated with the diesel engine. The performance of the very compact unit in the new engineering study is particularly impressive. The all-new ECOTEC-CDTI diesel, with the latest multi-jet common rail four valves per cylinder and variable-geometry turbocharger, has a displacement of only 1.3 liters.
Powerful, Compact and Clean: The World's Smallest Four-Cylinder Diesel
This innovative engine is notable for its compact dimensions (length/width/height: 460/500/650 millimeters). In terms of fuel consumption, emissions and refinement it proves to be one of the best diesels of all. Compared with other current engines of similar output, fuel consumption will be down by approx. 10 percent and emissions will be cut by 30 to 40 percent and thus outperform the Euro 4 limits. At 1251 cc, this ECOTEC unit is the world's smallest four-cylinder diesel, but with regard to output and torque it can compete with substantially larger engines.
The basis for this performance potential is the ultramodern design of the new 1.3 CDTI ECOTEC engine. An alloy cylinder head tops the weight-optimized cast-iron engine block (bore x stroke 69.6 x 82.0 millimeters). There are four valves per cylinder, operated by roller cam followers from two chain-driven overhead camshafts. The latest multi-jet direct injection system with fuel supply by 'common rail' at a pressure of 1600 bar is another noteworthy feature.
Fuel supply to the five-hole nozzles is controlled via an ultramodern solenoid valve. The fuel injection system's response time is less than 20 millionths of a second, ensuring extremely fine metering of the fuel and up to five injections per working cycle. This not only keeps fuel consumption and exhaust emissions extremely low, but also ensures smooth, low-noise operation. Pilot injection helps to reduce the once notorious diesel-engine knock in the warm-up phase to a hardly identifiable level.
Slim, Long and Flat: an Extremely Aerodynamic Body
Whereas the diesel engine is of completely new design, the advanced engineering team at Opel's International Technical Development Center (ITEZ) was able to make use of a tried-and-tested basis for the car itself. "The Speedster was nevertheless subjected to some fundamental modifications," explains Walter Treser, head of Opel's Advance Engineering department. "In order to achieve our own target of over 250 km/h top speed and a standard test consumption of only 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers, considerable improvements in aerodynamics and weight were essential." By facing this challenge, the engineers had an opportunity to demonstrate the limits of feasibility in this area.
Calculations soon showed that the target performance figures could only be achieved by reducing the drag coefficient by half - definitely a highly ambitious goal. And in due course it became clear: This target could not be achieved by pure optimization - more radical steps would have to be introduced.
The first step was to reduce the Speedster's frontal area. The design engineers lowered the now rigid roof of this already low-slung sports car by another 167 millimeters and gave the car a more steeply raked windshield. The result: The Eco-Speedster's height is a mere 950 millimeters, which would make it almost impossible to enter and leave through standard doors. The design study was therefore fitted with gullwing doors. An extremely small detachable steering wheel also helps to make entering the car more convenient and gives the driver more room. The backs of the carbon-fiber reinforced racing seats were also given a more inclined position. Since occupant comfort was not yet one of the main priorities, the cockpit was also reduced in width above the waistline. The result: A frontal area, in technology identified with the letter A, of only 1.4 m2 - 12.5 percent less than the production Speedster.
On this basis and according to the motto "length means speed", the next task was reducing the drag coefficient. The most striking novelty is the long tail. It extends 184 millimeters farther back, so that the airflow clings closer to the body and generates less turbulence. The impression of extra length is enhanced by the panels above the mid-engine; looking at the car from the side, there is a continuous gently sloping line from the windshield frame to the tail panel. Further visual clues to the excellent aerodynamics are the almost complete paneling of the rear wheel cutouts and the smooth front wheel covers. In wind tunnel tests, final detailing led to the results calculated by the design computer in advance: With a cD of 0.20 and an overall aerodynamic drag (cD x A) of 0.28 m2, the Eco-Speedster slides 47 percent more easily through the air than its production counterpart.
