red line time attack!!!

[johnathan]

ok so my swap has started its the standard mk1.5 using a rev1 gt4 engine
now i'm planning on running in the redline time attack redlinetimeattack.comits a uhmmm time attack on many auto-x courses across the united states and i plan to run in the new micro compact class which has the following cars as the main challangers
nissan versa
toyota yaris
honda fit
scion ax
honda crx
and thats about it but the reason for this new class i belive anyway is to pump up sales and what not for these cars for the tuner market in the usa this event is held by 4 big car tuner magizines now none of the car mentioned above are not super cars by any means but motor swaps are ok

and there are a few one fit has a k20 powering it while some of the cars are turbo/supercharged so i don't think it will be an easy win well i guess what i'm getting at to best possably prepare my car for this.
the first couple of tries i doubt i'll make it into 3rd or high place but not lower than say 8th either i figure i have till november if i remember right of when the event will be back in my area :jump:

this is one of the rules
Unibody must remain intact and un-altered.
i guess that i can't cut any of the frame in the rear and i can't use a big hammer so what to do i believe i remenber people have gotten away with not doing either of these things it was just really close
