The Scrapyard [IDEA]
Concept: you buy some parts from a scrapyard and you build a car.
How it works: For starting i'll make varius cars and engines and i give them a price (low price, it will be some s***y parts, old and rusty). Every round you have a budget and a mission (like: fastest 1/4 mile), you (and I) must build a car combining engine, car, tires buyed from the scrapyard. At the end of the round the winner choose the budget and the mission for the next round.
What i do: I'll made the first stock of parts to start and i made some google docs for reference and help choose the parts
What you can do: You'll make some other parts to add to the scrapyard.
What you can modify in the car: Everything you can do in a simple garage
-Lower engine compression
-Add or remove turbo (you must buy it from the scrapyard)
-Change fuel mixture
-Change Ignition Timing
-Change transmission (you must buy it from the scrapyard)
-Change Tires (you must buy it from the scrapyard)
-Strip down the interior and safety
-Change aerodynamics
-Change suspension settings and parts (you must buy it from the scrapyard)
-Change brakes (you must buy it from the scrapyard)
Most of the time you find in the scrapyard a fully working car (engine, tires, tranmission etc..) but you can find some car without something, samething with engines (sometimes with trasmission, sometimes without)
What you think of this challenge?
When it starts? Probably not before 3 or 4 weeks
